    And now the Saffers have taken the battle to social media. This is a new low.

    I find it amazing that Rabada is being defended so vigorously. He's been done for send-offs a number of times, and he knew with 100% certainty that if he did it again he'd cop a ban. So what does he do? Give multiple send-offs during the test.

    It's got nothing to do with Warner or Smith. There was ONE thing that he couldn't do, and he did it again. And again.

    But of course it's all the fault of the ugly Aussies.

    Nobody, not even the worst AB and Irish fans, circles the wagons like Aussie cricket fans.

    There is no moral high ground here. Both CEOs need to tell their staff and players to shut the fuck up and play the game.

    No one actually wants that though do they? The only reason this tour is getting any traction is the bullshit. Administrators will be loving it, the media will be loving it, even the ICC are probably loving it.

    Test cricket is totally fucked.

    @barbarian What is Vernon seeing here? Looks to me like Steve is maintaining his line, as he's entitled to do.

    @mariner4life Whatever. Like the rest of life, the moment you take an argument to Twitter, you automatically lose.

    He said, from inside his wagons painted with "Don't disrespect the haka, bro!" 🙂

    Saw the highlights of Rabada's wickets, and it looked like he was happy to keep digging with the send-offs, figuring he was fucked anyway.

    @NTA making up shit to attempt a point is just further evidence.

    My absolute favourite piece is all of this is Brad Haddin, yes, you read that correctly, Brad Haddin, has advised both teams to leave the carry-on out of it, and settle the series with skill. Brad Haddin. Fucking hell.

    I doubt very much the ICC are loving it. They are trying to grow the game internationally, especially with kids and women. A bunch of men acting like petulant spoilt brat dickheads does nothing for their brand. They might be getting some media attention now, but feeding trolls never ends well. The media will soon move onto the next scandal, and what will be left? A toxic product. Sponsors don't like toxic products, or the type of fan that attracts.

    Having no sense of humour is the definitive low point 🙄

    @barbarian you are Australian and therefore exactly like some of the prats in the Australian cricket team, so you're not allowed to say anything in defence of all things that are naughty and Australian! 🙂

    To be fair though, I did laugh at Brad Haddin saying 'just play the game'

    Am ok with Rabda's 3 demerit points for his contact with Smith's shoulder but how is Lyon dropping the ball next to AB and the ball rolling on to brush AB not deemed to be the same level as this is beyond me. No consistency.

    And in the mindless gossip column - didn't somebody above say it would be funny if this happened?

    "Sonny Bill Williams and the Blues are staying in the same hotel as the Australian cricket team -"

    SBW is probably too classy these days to give her a wink at breakfast.
