*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[Coronis]

Question to my Aussie brethren, Do you ever feel anxiety seeing Smith move across the crease while your team is at 17-2?

I’d get anxiety if Smith wasn’t moving across the stumps tbh, because then something is clearly wrong

 

[Burgey]

Ngidi bringing a lot less caboose than his tour out here a couple of years back. Looks much better for it

 

[Stefan9]

Lucky from Smith. Right in the gap.

 

[Shady Slim]

i’m surprised they picked ngidi given how easily we dealt with him when SA toured here most recently
i accept that he’s not as grossly unfit as he was then but our batsmen made him look like an absolute flop

Is there a better sight than that over.

High class bowling and high class slip catching.

Can't beat it

 

[Chin Music]

That was a bit close! Smith somehow gets in between keeper and leg slip.

 

[Coronis]

Lucky from Smith. Right in the gap.

Oh please. That was so deliberate. Commentators are clueless in the face of the genius

 

[SeamUp]

The concern with Ngidi. Obviously Injuries have been a big reason for the below.

He just looks toothless and not in a battle for too long a period now. Too many 4-balls. Hope he proves me wrong.

 

[Johan]

Is Marnus really always like this? he is making runs but looks like he'll be out the next ball

Recently? Yeah

Luckily

 

[Coronis]

Luckily

Deliberately

He was very much like this at the Oval a couple of years ago.

KP and Shastri in commentary box at the same, gee what did I do in a former life to deserve this

 

[cnerd123]

Rabada is so good

Needs the other seamers to step up. Feels like this is going to be a low scoring game

 

[Coronis]

Well Pollock’s there at least

 

[Johan]

Muted

The other options were Patterson who has been out of form in county cricket or Bosch who is very loose.

Either three options have their issues.

 

[Burgey]

What a shot. He just plays so ****ing late

 

[Coronis]

Merv inspiring a lovely stroke from Smith. You gotta love it.
