*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[Stefan9]

Its half volley. Poor execution but its there .

 

[Johan]

alright that was a ***y shot

 

[halba]

Why wasnt Boland picked? Hazlewood is past it now due to many injuries and We know how expensive Starc can be sometimes.

Obviously for the Ashes, it looks like Boland is 2nd on the team sheet(after Pat) if WTC is lost today.

 

[Johan]

another good shot

 

[Son Of Coco]

Fair bit of rubbish being bowled in the first few overs here.

We shouldn't be opening the bowling with two batsmen.

He'd look as toothless on the sunny days as Mulder has looked

I see. just a weather luck thing for the SAF. looks like this is winnable.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Much rather they play their shots than the prod and pray approach of the first innings

 

[morgieb]

Feel like we're trying a bit too hard here. It did get a wicket but Starc in particular looks like he's searching too much.

32-1 @SillyCowCorner1

Probably already been said, but Broad is really doing well at this commentary thing. Not falling into the ex-player trap just yet of tired idioms and back in my days, just good relevant insights.

 

[sayon basak]

Good running between the wickets.

Don't worry I'm sure they'll beat that out of him

 

[King Kane]

Mulder looking better than he did in the first innings, the same for Markram, conditions look a lot better for batting now though.

 

[SeamUp]

This is Wiaan. No jokes, watch him domestically coming through. He is a proper batsman. But has just gone too much into his shell in international cricket.

 

[Nintendo]

Did Mulder get a tiny edge on that Cummins ball between the two and boundary? Noene appealed, but I swear there was a noise as the ball passed the outside edge.

Your Mark Ramprakash! (jk, hope he keeps playing his natural game)

Yeah they'll need to have some patience here

He should avg a good 40 at international level. Not sure about him being at 3 but he can bat.

 

[Johan]

can anyone explain Markram to me? he averages 43 in South Africa which is immense considering how tough those wickets have been for a decade or so but averages 21 away when the wickets should generally be truer and less treacherous, what's his technical issue?
