I knew Big Vern saw things that weren't there from his appealing but this is something else.
Whats the betting that will be one of the arguments of the appeal? Those comments completely ignore the fact that Smith held his line and Rabada turned into him.
You have to wonder if this will be interpreted as criticism of the match officials which may attract penalties for Philander. Either way, this is a poor look for CSA with Rabada prmising to continue his behaviour and seemingly getting support from CSA. The conduct exhibited by CSA is exceptionally poor and worse than I've ever seen from Australia
