After a draw in the firs test, Australia-South Africa teams in Australia might have gone for a perfect fix and began executing the theme by making host Australia stronger with about 5oo runs on the first day of 5day test. But day 2 saw a change in SA approach ad they began removing batboys quickly letting Australia make about 550 runs total.  The SA also hoping for big total began some what normally but could get about 360 runs. But in the second innings SA became serious and offered only 140 runs while Australia became too tough with SA, taking quack wickets. In the beginning DS lost 4 wickets.  Afterwards the game changed the course and SA stuck to ground. SA did not let Austria win the match and forced a draw.

South Africa escaped from the jaws of a certain loss because nothing was it its favor and Australia had almost pocketed the win. Lyon bowled much better so was Siddle.

Siddle is down on his hunches, he gave it all that he had but could not get a win. So, relief for South Africa, they go to Perth with a 0-0 scoreline. It did not look like it when they were 45/4 mid-way through the fourth day. No praise can be enough for Faf du Plessis, he was just a replacement player for J P Duminy who got injured on the first day of the Gabba Test. Plessis stood the ground till the end, helping the team to reach a draw. He did not lose focus even after the dismissal of Jacques Kallis as he marshaled the lower order quite superbly. A new star has been born, a pity that it took South Africa, unwilling like India to change the team for some fake reasons, is so late to realize that.

Australia will think they should have won this Test after having South Africa four down at stumps on the fourth day. Both teams gave it their all on the final day - Australia threw everything they had at South Africa, and South Africa were determined to save the game. Du Plessis is the hero, and clearly the Man of the Match for his performance in both innings. What a sparkling debut. Spare a thought for Siddle, he somehow conjured up the energy for a final burst and removed Kleinvedlt with a beauty but Morne Morkel though failed a bowler, held his ground as a strong batboy when it was absolutely necessary and earned the draw along with Faf du Plessis. Faf du Plessis could not get Styen play with him as he went back to pavilion with a duck. Styen failed both as a bowler and batboy.

India has admitted that England has humiliated Indians in India by thrashing Indian team in Mumbai from where SRT or Sachuin Tendulekar- a major Hindu god but fallen cricketer - hails. 

Two innings are necessary for the cricket frauds to easily make sufficient adjustments for creating bogus records!  But what has happened in Aus-RSA test 2 and why? 

ICC must answer a valid question now: why did the SA bowlers offer about 500 runs on the day one and why Australia could not win the match even with that big favor on day one in the first innings which usually favor the side bating first?

In case ICC has no answer, Australian premier who is fond of offering the nation’s highest awards to cricketism frauds should attempt an answer!
