*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[Heboric]

Marnus understands Africaans. Konstas does not

That's an advantage too good not to be claimed

Hope he doesnt mishear "wit k**nt" like that Englishman Curry. Although in cricket I doubt one could use it properly for "white side"

Maybe not white side, but there's still off side and leg side.

His tannie from Klerksdorp will give him a klap around the ears if he does that

Breaks your heart to see a coke bust. Who doesn't love a couple of nose beers every now and again?

I thought you were a lawyer so only did legal things

 

[the big bambino]

Usman, Konstas, Marnus, Smith, Head, Webster, Carey, Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Haze.

Controversially obvious I know.

I'd pick Green just for his fielding. One of Konstas or Marnus to make way

It's not out of the realm of possibilities if the wicket looks green and the weather is around (which means it would likely be a short game) that they would play Green ove Webster to strengthen the batting and go in without an all-rounder. By all reports and the very little that I've seen, Konstas is hitting them really well

If they do that though, they have to play Boland over Hazlewood

Yeah… lawyers don’t do any drugs… you never see that.

Green over Webster doesn't strengthen the batting, on recent evidence. If we're talking greentops Webster was far and away the most assured of the side in the recent Sydney Test.

No Webster has to be a lock. It's a 3 way battle for 2 spots between Marnus, Konstas and Green. I've made it known which I'd leave out

So if anything it's the opposite?

Same as everyone, depends on whether it supports my agenda or not

Steve Smith turned 36 yesterday. He also has 36 test hundreds. What does that mean?

We are living in the end times

Bro I like big Beau. He is thoroughbred well hung cricketer and I have that last part in common with him. I think he should be the genuine all rounder from here and Green should be utilised as a batter first

But you can't really argue the fact that Green is in better form right now in English conditions and overall the better batter with a higher ceiling

If I had to pick one to bat for my life it would be Beau

He'd need a few sets of hands to wrap around his bat though

Seriously you would have Beau Webster bat for your life. He probably should bat 7 given the form Carey is in
