when a game changes dramatically in its course, we have to consider out of ordinary reasons. Match fixing or ball tampering is very likely. Remember the John lever vaseline incident against india.SA are not beyond that ?
aussies have once again proved that they are soul losers. warner stated ball tampering in second innings but what about the first innings were they failed to score 250 runs. You have been outplayed stop excuses and concentrate on the third test.
We all love to see Aussie lose, not bcos they deserve to, but bcos of their king sized ego .. They can go down any level to try an prove that they are better .. Be it Ashes or playing SA, they love playing mind games .. Gonners!
the grapes are sour. aus team is clearly pissed_about losing the 2nd test, especially mitch's failure. anybody can say anything they like including warner, but the sooner they realize they lost to a better team, the better it'll be. take mitch's bouncers out of the equation (which the port elizabeth pitch did) and you have an ordinary aus.

SA are no more the gentlemen of the game, AB had claimed 2 catches of Hughes in 2nd test which were dropped short of him. Also they beat Pakistan in test where Faf du Plesis was rubbing the ball with his zip. Read Cricinfo column u will realise with damp/moisture in outfield it wasnt possible to reverse swing naturally

it's a case of sore loser behavior from the aussies. wonder if warner would've complained had the result been anything other than a win for aus. btw, claiming bumped catches has been a forte of the aussies. i do not go to cricinfo, so please enlighten me. i have no doubt in steyn's swing prowess, if it was obtained using unfair means, it is for the match ref to decide. if aussies want to whinge, they can whinge on the last two wickets in the day as well. wouldn't change the result
