*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[Smudge]

How does that work when his last 4 county innings batting #5 are 3, 4, 2, 8

Loves the shine on the ball?

(I have no idea if he does or not)

 

[Coronis]

A fully fit Hazlewood is a sure shot selection,

You could say the same about Green. He ain’t fully fit at all.

 

[Gob]

I'd go

Uzzie
Marnus (as opener)
Green
Smith
Head
Inglis
Carey
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood

Green can't bowl. Webster has to play even if they somehow fit green in

At the moment, you could add that Green can't bat either. His last 4 CC (Div 2) innings are 3, 4, 2, 8!!

Webster is a definite for me. Form batter in the country and his bowling and catching are massive bonuses

This really needs to be emphasised

To an extent, there's good bowlers in Div 2 too. One of those he got a corker from Josh Hull.

Not to mention that the bloke is hung like a horse

and the 2 innings before that?

 

[Gob]

Marcus Harris is apparently piling up some runs aws

God no

 

[Coronis]

God no

Isn’t he also in Div 2?

Wonder what they will actually do if it rains enough to cause a draw? Australia hold onto the trophy, or a reschedule? Or continue til result? (i.e timeless but you don’t tell anyone including the groundsmen in advance)

There is a built in reserve day, right?

@Coronis

Marnus firms to pip Konstas for opening role as Australian squad for Test final takes shape

Marnus Labuschagne is favoured to join Usman Khawaja at the top of the order and tip out Sam Konstas when Australia faces South Africa to bid for back-to-back World Test Championship titles at Lord’s next month.

[Agonizingly Awkward]

is this because you want australia to lose or

Who doesn't?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Green should absolutely not be getting picked over either Webster or Inglis, especially if he can't bowl

 

[kevinw]

Green should absolutely not be getting picked over either Webster or Inglis, especially if he can't bowl

I assumed they were implying Khawaja, Labuschagne, Smith, Green, Head, Webster and Carey as the top seven.

 

[SeamUp]

To avoid having to go into the article.

With Inglis and Konstas to miss out on the 15 for WTC final.

Personally I would think Inglis makes it as back-up keeper. One of Neser or Doggett should miss out.
