It wasn't a purely accidental action, it arose out of him giving Smith a send off. The fact that you think Smith was over the top shows your bias quite clearly. And I don't see much difference between Rabada's send offs and the actions of Starc.
Problem with the Rabada suspension is it was too much.
Two tests is a huge suspension in the context of the history of the sport.
One would have been adequate IMO and I reckon the Saffers would have accepted it.
As for England ... :rofl :rofl :rofl

I’m talking the berating after deliveries and between balls. It’s a toxic Aussie tradition. Which is fine if u don’t sook when the opposition dishes it out.
Unfortunately the leadership is out of its depth intellectually
Yes. Some wag on CricInfo said he still thought SA were on top because "250 would be enough".
That may be ... but at 8/266 on the first day of a Test, I know who I'd rather be.

Big test now for Steve Smith.
In the history of the game all the great batsmen (except Sir Don) have had form slumps.
It's how they come out of it that measures their greatness.
It's why longevity in sport is a crucial measure of your legacy.
Smith is now going through his period where the ball looks like a marbel and feet are in cement. Hopefully gets out of it soon. Looking horrible ATM. Need him back near his best to be any chance this series.

Leysy couldn't agree.
His form slump mirroring the form slump and struggle of the team as a collective.
SA are beating us with their tactics, hostility and in your face crickey that AUS was so good at.
Maybe they and their fans have crossed the line of acceptable sportsmanship but if you give it over the years and thrive yourself on it , you have to take it.
Miny fight back but with 1 wicket left we may/will face a deficit.
Got to limit their lead to have any chance and silence the crowd.

Bradman had a form slump.
In six consecutive Tests (last three of bodyline and first three of 1934 in England), he made 426 runs at 38.7, no centuries, three 50s, highest score 76.
Lehmann whinging now about the abuse the players are receiving from the crowd.
Suck it up ... you made your bed, now lie in it.
