TNO, that's a really interesting insight from Heals given Lee and McGrath were teammates. I'm not discounting it. That said, Lee's deliveries appeared to skid whereas McGrath's deliveries appeared to bounce.

"I played golf. I did not get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. That was way more satisfying." Mitch Hedberg
Sorry mate, Lee wasn't in the lot he was talking about. Lee was quicker for sure. His point was that McGrath was quicker than some guys that were often reading faster on the radar. From memory Fleming was reading consistently faster, maybe Reiffel too. Can't remember if Gillespie was included at the time, possibly.
McGrath wasn't as slow as he read on the radar vs others in reality. There's a bit on it below -

If you're interested in what Mr McGrath himself thinks: http://www.cricket.com.au/news/glenn...iew/2016-11-13
It's a bit of a myth that McGrath bowled in the high 120's on the radar for most of his career.
McGrath was a 140+ bowler when he first played test cricket, and he slowed with age. He was never express pace, but he was not some medium fast trundler
Yes, when he reached 35 he spent more time in the 120's than 130's, but he was 35.

Very impressed by de Kock. Looks the goods with the bat and no over the top celebrations at the ton, more of a mild acknowledgement with the mind obviously on keeping on going.

3 day test, subject to weather!
Bring in Australia A, or the Prime Ministers 11, or Warnie to make a come back (just for the hell of it).

As long as the SAffers keep missing the stumps, we can take all the singles we like.
Well we ended up ok , good to see them knuckle down with the bat against some bloody good bowling
Hazelwood bowled very well good performance so far this series he is impressing more and more
Still gonna need a lot of luck to make a game of it though , but there were at least some signs today
Much more patience was shown with the bat and once they finally got started with the ball they rolled on. We need big partnerships and some big hundreds to save face vs a capitulation and losing wickets in clusters. They have to be prepared to bat out tough periods for not may runs. Rogers was excellent at this with his tight compact game and matue temperament.
I tink Siddle would have bowled damn well in those first innings conditions.

Meany does nothing for me , wont swing the ball with that action and wasn,t moving off the seam either , another plodder
He swings it a tad some days from what but not a real hooper. Long way from the stumps in release too. Hopefully Pattinson is back soon with his pacy outswinger. It makes me sad how bad a run Cummins has had, swings the ball away at great pace. Fingers crossed for the longer term. Starc naked hasn't swung it as much in this game as he usually does in favorable conditions.

Just out of interest, apart from Warner, when did an Aussie score a "big hundred". Probably Smith last year?
Voges twice.
Here's the full list from the last two years:

If I really had my nerd on I would look at how that compares to previous periods, but only 7 tons in 2016 seems a little bit light on.
