Boland takes 2 on hessian-less deck | Day 1 | SA v AUS | Gqeberha Test

Faf du Plessis joined TGC live and in the flesh ahead of the Cape Town Test with the stunning Table Mountain as the backdrop as the boys discuss towels, mints, the series thus far and a deep dive into what actually happened here in 2018. We also got a first hand look at his Proteas baggy cap.  And yes, he looked amazing. EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was this the worst loss under this Australian leadership? No, that was 3 tests ago in Darwin. Scott Boland is the greatest all rounder in test cricket history?

Nihilism: Nihilism is a philosophical stance asserting that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or objective value. Derived from the Latin word nihil (meaning "nothing"), it denies the existence of absolute moral truths, universal ethics, or intrinsic foundations for human knowledge.  TGC’s beach house fundraiser. One of the most bitter days in this teams journey. David fires up the Twitter account again. Jansen looks impossible to score off.  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR TGC CLIPS YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE Sign up to TGCRaw and get access to the entire 300+ episode back catalogue of AskTGC Fridays via Patreon or Apple PodcastsEXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A race against time for Australia. Hoff takes a rest with a stomach bug. Now that Renshaw has a WWI style moustache, he is allowed to take screamers in slip. Bavuma holds it together for South Africa. Batters caught in no mans land.

Credit where it's due or is Bailey kissed on the d**k? Matthew Renshaw is the greatest middle order batter has ever seen. Endless depth of Australian quicks.

AUSTRALIA WIN. AUSTRALIA WIN. AUSTRALIA WIN. And the thanks need to go to the former players who gave these guys the shove they needed to actually pull their socks up and give a damn for once!!! The day moved slow then fast thanks to career-best figures from Josh Hazlewood as he got the ball to reverse…somehow…in South Africa.

Who’s winning? Sure, we don’t ask that in Test cricket. But if we were to ask it, which we are, then Australia is winning.  For the first time since the early 2000s, Australia’s batting looks good. Matt Renshaw looks good, he knows how to play the spinners and he knows how to get past 50. We don’t want to jinx it at all, but with 6 wickets Australia are definitely winning this Test match and the series and everything forever.
