*Official* South Africa Test Tour of Zimbabwe 2025

[centurymaker]

To be fair, it's fitting that Lara's ultimate act of selfishness is impregnable in the generation of humble modern cricketers

Clarke retired at 329*
Warner retired at 335*
Mulder at 367*

common theme

Mulder is right to not follow in the foot-steps of matthew hayden. no-one likes matthew hayden. don't be like matthew hayden

 

[centurymaker]

not all that selfish tbh

It was.

Right decision.

 

[Johan]

It was.

series was done and they had lost badly, pitch was a road and 95% chance of draw, just go for it.

 

[Heboric]

Meh very disappointed

 

[Silver Silva]

@Himannv Mulder probably grew up watching that epic Sangakkara/Jayawardene partnership vs South Africa , probably didn't want to go past Mahela's 374 as a sign of respect

Mark Taylor declared when he was on 334*

You gotta be kidding me

I'm sorry but that's ****ing stupid to declare , This was a chance to put South Africa on World focus for a couple of days by attempting to break a World record that most believed would never be broken . Absolutely ridiculous

Absolutely. Wtc win followed by a world record being broken would have etched this side in history.

Oh geez this guy again. Did a Saffer steal your girlfiend or something

 

[Johan]

Take it easy, man. The post looks like he just made a simple joke.

 

[mr_mister]

It's getting soo old

Yes once or twice taking a pop is fine. But a long history of snarky comments at SA team is tiresome

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

What a weapon shoulda just battered them for 700* like it was Cricket Captain who gives a **** about Brian Lara

 

[OverratedSanity]

 

[Bahseph]

Yeah I don’t see why he couldn’t go another hour but it is what it is . Great knock!

 

[Dendarii]

If they were really against Mulder breaking the record then why not declare sooner? Do it half an hour before lunch when Mulder was still a reasonable distance away. Not when he's so close.
