*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[ashley bach]

Aust all out for 120

Should be plenty

 

[Bahseph]

I think Rabada was spot on when he said they should have got them for 160.

 

[Molehill]

Torn; I don't want to sit through a bad Aus batting effort, but I also don't want this to be one-sided enough to provoke more whinging about how South Africa didn't deserve to play this.

Rabada aside, the rest need to prove this because at the moment they're justifying those claims.

Who’s been saying that btw? It sounds a very England and Wales or Indian thing to say

 

[Son Of Coco]

To quote Pat from the other day.

"Cool. No worries".

Marco Jansen walks into your team .

 

[Starfighter]

Considering these two teams' bowling lineups compared to their brittle batting, maybe they should have made the pitch a tad flatter and drier.

 

[Burgey]

Also, I can’t recall a time where there’s been two absolutely gun and all-time level quicks at the same time who are both outwardly such good blokes as Bumrah and Cummins. You’d be hard pressed to dislike either of them

 

[Nintendo]

Marco Jansen walks into your team .

Rickelton also probably does. Wede kill for a guy with his test and FC record who could bat top 3.

 

[Burgey]

Marco Jansen walks into your team .

Easily.

He arguably walks into every team

Something English groundsmen have done well the past few years

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh Pat, my skipper

 

[Daemon]

Labu’s gonna make runs today.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Easily.

He arguably walks into every team

Especially with those long legs of his.

Don't remember the last WTC final being all that close.

 

[ashley bach]

Usman must be itching to get off the mark

 

[cascade]

Not to jinx him early, but I think this opening opportunity is good for Marnus. Thought he looked a bit better yesterday before those quick wickets & he reverted a bit more to how he's been for ages.

 

[Burgey]

SA really need a couple asap. If the lead gets out to 120 or so with only none or one down, it’s a bloody long way back.

 

[Burgey]

I think he looks a fair bit more still at the crease which he needs to be, instead of being a try hard Steve smith with the faux quirky movements and mannerisms, as opposed to Smith’s, which are genuinely spectrum related.

His back leg is still coming around when he plays on off stump though, which squares him up a lot and makes him prone to nicking off. If he rectified that he’d be a lot more secure around off stump and I think he wouldn’t play at as many wide ones.

Realistically, if he doesn’t make runs here he will need a big start to the Shield season, because they’ll be looking hard at any openers who make runs early on.

 

[Burgey]

Ok
