Rain delayed the start of day two of the second Test between Australia and South Africa in Hobart today. Temba Bavuma on 38 not out and Quinton de Kock on 28 not out were to resume with South Africa on 171 for five. Rain thwarted South Africa's hopes of building on their 86-run lead but a bigger deluge of criticism fell on the home side following their chaotic batting on day one in Hobart. Australia's first innings dismissal for 85, their lowest test total at home since 1984, rang alarm bells around a nation. Malcolm Knox wrote in Fairfax newspapers today that Cape Town, Birmingham, Nottingham, Galle, and now Hobart- like falling cities in a losing war, the scenes of Australia's cricket disasters have come to our doorstep. Head coach Darren Lehmann conceded the team's batting was in crisis, while Captain Steve Smith behind closed doors read his team mates the riot act. Paceman Mitchell Starc, who was dismissed for four with a loose drive to gully, told state radio ABC on Sunday that they are all disappointed.
