Australia v South Africa second Test day two Highlights


After an incident-filled day at the MCG, spectators will not be let down because there were only 79 overs played in three rain-free sessions plus the bonus half-hour. Australia put South Africa in scorching heat, moving from 45-1 to 386-3, a 197 runs lead advantage.

However, this is only a small portion of David Warner's remarkable performance. He reached 50 quickly, fought his way to a moving century, and then crushed his way to 150 and an agonizing double-ton. On the occasion of his 200th run, he let out a guttural yell as he fell to the ground. This yell was a sign of real agony as well as the defeat of his own bad form and the people who were critical of it. The Australian opener retired hurt on 200* in his 100th Test, barely able to leave the field of play due to cramps.

Cameron Green, an all-rounder who was injured by an Anrich Nortje lift and left with a bloody mess on his right index finger, would later join Warner on an asterisk. They and Mitchell Starc, who is already hurt, have contributed to a costly couple of days that should have been easy.

Steve Smith guided Warner through his milestones. After riding his luck through a challenging morning session with high-quality fast bowling from Nortje and Marco Jansen, he lost for 85.

With dropped catches, poor captaincy, and tame support from the rest of the attack, the speedsters had little impact, which was unfortunate for them.

With Travis Head set, Australia will try to make the tourists even more miserable tomorrow by making the bowling conditions more favorable with cooler temperatures and storm clouds. I and Geoff will return to guide you through the entire event.
