00:00 The news that South Africa is sending a second string team to New Zealand to play two tests,

00:07 while its stars stay at home to play a T20 series, has sent shockwaves through the cricketing

00:12 community.

00:13 Every summer feels bigger than the last year in Australia, but obviously going overseas

00:17 is not the case.

00:19 In some regards, yeah, I'm a little bit worried at times.

00:24 Cummins has another concern closer to home as his team seeks to get a 3-0 whitewash of

00:29 its test series against Pakistan in what will be David Warner's 112th and last test.

00:35 Pakistan's captain, Shan Masood, says his team has plenty to play for.

00:40 At least we have the lessons in front of us.

00:42 At least we've put ourselves in those positions where from there we can dominate games.

00:47 So now it's about learning from them, not repeating mistakes or trying not to repeat

00:51 mistakes and hopefully if we can put in efforts like that, I'm sure that there'll be a lot

00:57 of test wins in the future.

00:58 But again, it's about learning from the mistakes and making sure that when you play quality

01:02 sides you can't be making those mistakes.

01:05 There was some bitter news for David Warner, who's playing his 112th and last test here

01:09 at the SCG.

01:10 He posted a video on social media saying his bag had been stolen, which contained his precious

01:15 baggy green, as well as some presents for his children.

01:19 Sydney's fickle weather, which has played havoc with this test over the past few years,

01:22 could yet have a part to play in this test.

01:25 But the good news is that the forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology is mainly good,

01:29 with only the chance of a few brief showers later in the week.
