End of a dynasty, Australia slightly ahead | Day 1 | SA v AUS | Cape Town

How many times does this Aussie team need to hurt TGC? Don't they understand they're costing us downloads every time they win a session? No Marnus, no Smudge, the future is here and it's at Mavericks. Although it is sad what's happened to South African cricket.

Just when you thought it was all over for this team. Just when you switch the TV off on a Tuesday night thinking "I think I'm finally done with this sport". We get whatever this was.  Turns out this Australian team just needs obscene levels of kink to get itself going. Is Cape Town 'Choke City'? Is Toorak shopping called off? Is Table Mountain cancelled?  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.

We sniff an ambush, but who's ambushing whom? Can't say, but there's something about South Africa that brings Australian cricket to a screeching halt. And as we close in on the deciding third Test we ask: Wouldn't everything be easier if Australia just made Smudge our Olympic Games bearer? Someone get Kitty Flanagan on the phone.

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? It takes a lot to get this team out of bed.

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.

The day ends 2/20 after 12.2 overs. Boland goes bang, bang after Pat Cummins practically chooses to bowl before the toss. It's very wet with more rain to come.
