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.

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. 00:00 Intro 01:47 Massive Lead 20:30 Early Poles 09:57 Smith Concern 26:26 AskTGC To enjoy an extra hour of The Grade Cricketer every week and get access to the entire TGCRaw back catalogue (including hundreds of hours of #AskTGC Fridays), exclusive chat and more, sign up at patreon.com/gradecricketer or via the Patreon app.  Or, if you're an Apple Podcasts listener just tap one of the locked episodes and subscribe from there or use this link: http://apple.co/tgc You can follow The Grade Cricketer on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/gradecricketer​ https://www.instagram.com/thegradecricketer https://tiktok.com/@thegradecricketer https://twitter.com/gradecricketer​ The Grade Cricketer hosts are Ian Higgins and Sam Perry.
