David Warner has given a emotional stand up to the press in a statement regarding the ball tampering scandal that has rocked Australian cricket.
Things just go from bad to worse. Australia are careering toward an innings defeat in the fourth and final Test of a horrid series.
Newly installed captain Tim Paine looks to have done some serious damage to a thumb and the second finger, the day after he knocked the index finger which has been subject of some seven operations.
He will play on, but if you see him around please don't shake his hand.
Not that there's much reason to congratulate the man recently elevated to the highest office.
Australia came to the ground with South Africa 6-313 and with some hope.
The three Queensland batsmen installed at the top of the order contributed a total of 12 runs and survived a collective half hour at the crease.
Joe Burns flew 14 hours to get here and was in for 14 minutes.
Matt Renshaw survived longer before playing a lazy shot.
Both victims of the wily Vernon Philander who finished the day with 3-17 from 12 overs.

Peter Handscomb survived just one delivery on his recall.
Philander and wicket keeper Quinton de Kock conspired to strangle the scoring in his second spell.
The gloveman moving up to the stumps to tie Shaun Marsh and Khawaja down.
Marsh had battled manfully, facing 74 deliveries for his 16 runs, but soon after Khawaja was gone he followed, beaten by a straight delivery from Keshav Maharaj and caught by AB de Villiers.
Younger brother Mitchell (4) had already come and gone by then, a victim of Morne Morkel.
Paine was hit on the thumb keeping up to the stumps earlier in the day and needed treatment. He was then hit on the finger in the final overs while facing Morkel.
Earlier South Africa moved on from 6-313 to be all out 488, Temba Bavuma stranded on 95.
