Pete and Gid chew on Usman Khawaja's autobiography Sabr, which isn't out til Tuesday, but has already divided Australian cricket with its unsparing account of events on the 2018 South African tour. What exactly has Khawaja said? What does it really mean? Will the game be the same again? Will Cricket Australia have to respond?

Pete and Gid luxuriate in a Test match that refuses to die, with South Africa batting all the fourth day to set Australia 288 to win on the fifth.

And who would you rather be going in to the climax of one of the great modern series?

Pete and Gid peer through the rain and clouds to see South Africa trounce Australia by an innings and 31 runs at St George's Park, with Kagiso Rabada eclipsing Steve Smith, Scott Boland impersonating Horatius on the bridge to no avail, and Pat Cummins equivocal about the future of the batting unit.

Pete and Gid watch South Africa turn the tables on Australia at St George's Park with a stunning day of batting led by their captain Temba Bavuma, whose highest Test score was the basis for a huge total, and whose declaration gained his team a late wicket. But can South Africa roll Australia twice in the remaining two days? Who would tip anything in this topsy-turvey series dominated by the bowlers, and the bowlers as batters?

Pete and Gid pay tribute to the cheapest bowler round - in the nicest possible way - after another staggering bowling performance from Scott Boland at St George’s Park in Gqeberha reduced South Africa to five for 97 on a much-shortened second day. A fine innings from Temba Bavuma has kept the home team in touch; the pitch may not get easier to bat on; the game is afoot.

Pete and Gid lie back and enjoy the five-day feeling of an old-fashioned Australian Test match win in Durban, where Pat Cummins's team won by 214 runs on the back of a great ensemble performance featuring Matthew Renshaw, Josh Hazlewood and a host of co-stars.
