Thought the mail was that Lyon has a finger issue with his spinning hand. Might be him?

Yeah, I'd heard Swepson in for Lyon but if the last test is a green top you'd have to go for Bird.

Amazing backdrop, maybe even better than Newlands

Finger issue or "finger issue"?

If I were a selector Pattinson would be in India and starting on Saturday, but what do I know?

Swepson will go either one of two ways.

Aussies doing ok until Warner got dismissed by the debutant...

Idiot commentator saying Marsh has been in great form... WTF are they smoking

Shaun Marsh failing on an absolute road, there's a shocker. I wouldn't say Australia are in a bit of trouble, but they require a high score first up and 153-3 isn't terrible but it's also now not good. If Australia lose another wicket before 200 they're in real trouble especially if it's Smith, they need 400+ plus first up, probably more this looks a high scoring pitch. Maxwell, Wade and then the bowlers isn't a massive amount of reliable batting after these two.

That Australian middle order is absolutely pathetic. This test is done, very difficult to lose a test in a hour on the first day from 130 odd for 1 at lunch but they've somehow managed it.
 
It's like Smith is batting with tailenders after the fall of the 4th wicket.

Australia may have scored a moral victory in the 3rd Test but they failed to see the writing on the wall.
 
Shaun Tait has retired, batsman everywhere will sleep a little sounder tonight.

Was still bowling high 150s in the last BBL, all over the place though!
