God I hope Green's injury isn't serious.

If they wanted to play a spinning all rounder they might consider batting Carey 6 and Agar 7
Not saying they should, I'm saying they might

Agar would have to bat below Cummins on recent form surely.
If Starc doesn't get up it might make things even harder

Warner makes 200 then retires with heat stroke? Made enough runs to retain his spot then has enough.
I am overly cynical of Warner because so think he’s a giant campaigner though.

Nah he single handedly won the game against Qld IIRC

He could barely walk when he went off. Huge effort.

Yeah but only because he'd have been dropped for Sydney if he retired hurt on 100

I didn’t watch all that f todays play but from what I saw Warner (and Smith) had to work hard for their runs. The South Africans through Nortje and Jansen bowled some very good spells but they lacked support from the other bowlers
On another day both those guys have 3 or more wickets each to their name
I’m all for a good Warner bashing but that was a good innings his flogging milestone celebrations notwithstanding

Would have to be the next choice for the all-rounder spot if Green is not fit for the New Years' test given his previous form. This season he hasn't hit his straps as much, averaging 26.84 with the bat and 43.71 with the ball. Hardie was player of the Match though against Queensland in the match at the WACA, single handedly won the game for them.
Hardie played for Australia "A" earlier in the season and seems to be second in the queue for the all-rounder role. Competition may come from Will Sutherland or Michael Neser although those two are more bowling all-rounders which would the eleven short on batting.
Given Sydney is generally a spinning deck, you'd think they'd employ a second specialist spinner in place of one of the specialist seamers. Means someone like Swepson, Murphy or Agar could possibly get a gig with the all-rounder as the third seam option.

You must've seen the 2 good spells of the day; the majority of the bowling was rubbish. Not knocking Warner's 200 in those conditions but SA attack was very disappointing.

Another blow for the Scorchers who had planned on him joining them for the last half of the BBL season

Whoops.
My interest in this test has just nosedived now.

Weird, for me. Odds on to snick off early or get hit again. We've got a 250 run lead already.Green back out
Yeah I'm not a fan. Might be trying to build a big buffer due to our potentially depleted bowling stocks. Hopefully not have to bat again?

At the very least, surely send all the fit players out before Green/Starc
