Biggest news as per now is that that Rabada may not play due to a recreational drug use

 

[Northerner]

Huge blow for the Proteas if Rabada is banned, against the Aussies you need your best strike bowler.
i cant see how he can play it now, so disappointing,

He's playing. The ban was for one month which has been completed (missed the IPL due to this). It's mentioned in the cricinfo article.

That is actually a great news. He is probably SA's only chance

Cue Marco Jansen bouncing them out cheap

Was it the devil’s lettuce?

My guess for the Aussie WTC squad

Khawaja, Konstas, Labuschagne, Smith, Head, Webster, Carey, Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Hazlewood, Boland, Inglis, Green

Roughie: Fergus O'Neil

That’d be boring. iirc coke is the next popular drug over there so I’d cross my fingers for that.

A century from Steve Smith in the WTC Final would solve all my problems

 

[Coronis]

I think Australia go in as the favourites obviously, whilst our batting is far from perfect, its easily superior. The bowling is very comparable and a great spell from any of Rabada, Jansen or even Maharaj (he’s in ridiculous form and hasn’t been talked about enough)

They are playing nobodies for the most part though.

I'll be there on Day 1 and Day 4.

So, my apologies in advance for all the rain on Day 1 and Day 4.

Wonder what they will actually do if it rains enough to cause a draw? Australia hold onto the trophy, or a reschedule? Or continue til result? (i.e timeless but you don’t tell anyone including the groundsmen in advance)

Should be an 11 test series so the English team gets a decent chance to watch and learn from the best.
