*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[Qlder]

Yeah, K'Pat made 85 and then 51 & 40 for Surrey. This looks same as his shield season where he was so consistent but just needs to kick on for some big tons to knock the door down

 

[Burgey]

Carse is decent (although he's a Saffer rather than a Pom). Good pace, gets bounce, and runs in tirelessly.

Sounds like Peter Siddle

 

[cascade]

He made some big tons early in the Shield and for Aus A, no? I don't think that's the issue so much as making sure he's fully confident again considering the difficult couple of years he had.

 

[The_Rey]

Suffers need to get through this first half hour unscathed here

 

[TheJediBrah]

As it

Inglis is going to be a gun for the next few years. Should be in the team now. These guys are ignorant fools

Hasn't played for Aus A in a while iirc, but he will be soon. Couple of quality tons in the Shield though. Always been somewhat of a KPat fan but I do think he needs to show this form for a little longer

Yeah it's worth remembering that he barely played Shield cricket in 2023/24 as his form had been so poor. And it wasn't like that NSW team had a great batting lineup. Good Aus A form will help but I'd still think he's needs to back up last year with another good Shield season (and keep it going at county level)

 

[Thala_0710]

Some positive intent from Bavuma finally

 

[Molehill]

Looks like someone has reminded Bavuma overnight what you need to do against these bowlers.

Absolutely kicking myself I didn't remember that. Want to kick those merry men at Jolimont St even more for the game not being properly streamed

Yeah this is pretty much exactly where I am on KPat right now. Good to see him going well, but as you say he needs to back it up over longer

 

[SeamUp]

Big day for Bedingham the test cricketer.

 

[Burgey]

That’s a seed

has to review but absent an edge it looks dead

 

[cascade]

That was nice, just when SA were looking good. Shame it had to be Bavuma though.

Isn't Inglis an 'immigrant' himself....

 

[cascade]

Wow, didn't expect that.

 

[thierry henry]

He had no idea he hit that

 

[Burgey]

Wow, didn't expect that.

Yeah zero deviation but a big noise

 

[Molehill]

Was it me or did it look like there was daylight between bat and ball when ultra edge spiked?

 

[thierry henry]

It doesn’t even look or sound like he hit it at all
