South Africa have now forced Australia to follow on with 170 runs needed to.make SA bat again. Might be a win for the Proteas or draw at least. Aust 1st innings all out for just 99 after SA scored 400+ runs.

Not even Netflix, etc. You can watch highlights on the Net. 2nd Test, Proteas have hammered Australia. That little Xhosa Captain is a good batsman, scored 179. That very tall Boer all-rounder Jansen gets wickets and belts sixes.

I'd watch a few hours per day if it was on TV.

Everything is about money these days.

Mainstream Media doesn't see overseas Tests as a ratings puller.
Instead it just pumps out American crap like Botox winners and fake Pawn shows.
Most programs are Adverts in themselves.
