Australia all-out for 85.

Toss was vital

Australia had a nightmare this morning in the 2nd test against South Africa at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Faf du Plessis won the toss and asked his bowlers to exploit the cloudy conditions this morning. They nailed completely as no Aussie batsmen had any answers to the bowling attack of the Africans.

South Africa executed the plan spot-on

10th Five wicket haul for Philander

South Africa who are without Dale Steyn, who is out due to an injury, brought Kyle Abbott in the side. He along with Vernon Philander completed the demolition of Australian lineup as no batsmen other than skipper Steve Smith and debutant Joe Minnie reached the double figures.  Another debutant C. Ferguson got run-out.


Steve Smith remained not out on 48 runs off 80 balls and Minnie scored 10. No other top order batsmen crossed even 5 runs. They lost half their side for a mere 17 runs. South Africa didn’t gave any chance to let Australia settle in or make a comeback.

South Africa are 43/0 at tea.
