Pete and Gid hold a press conference to celebrate seventy-four deliveries at St George's Park and several hours of rain, but there's enough time to laud Scott Boland, lament Nathan Lyon, and recall the maestro Barry Richards - revealing an uncanny connection to the Lalor clan.  Plus: does Gqeberha have the slowest groundstaff in the world?  Also: is there more rain on the way?

DOWN ON THE STREET: Squad Changes, Culinary Tours & Top 10 Selection Songs

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.  Nine bowlers!  No dropped catches!  A selection Hail Mary that didn't quite pay off, but not to worry!  Also a superb performance as captain from Cummins, praise be to him.
