*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[sayon basak]

I reckon it's just a formality from here on in. SA aren't chasing anything over 200, Aus will comfortably set more than that.

Are you sure?

 

[Burgey]

Terrible from Green. Woeful technique. Hard hands and stiff legs

 

[cascade]

I want to believe in Green so badly but idk why they thought a few games batting at #5 in Div 2 would be enough prep for batting at #3 against Rabada.

 

[Burgey]

Khawaja needs to retire now, clearly too much of a struggle now against quality pace bowling

Fortunately it’s England touring next summer here so he should be ok

 

[Qlder]

So Green faced 5 balls whole test just so Smith could stay at 4 lol

 

[Burgey]

Lazy on drive for four to get off the mark. What a mental ****ing player

 

[Qlder]

Fortunately it’s England touring next summer here so he should be ok

Don't forget he's got 3 tests vs Windies starting in 2 weeks

The way smith has played rabada this test has been crazy. Everyone else has struggled, but he's been smoking him around the park for fun.

Maybe it's just Bumrah and Rabada making him look average?

 

[Molehill]

Maybe it's just Bumrah and Rabada making him look average?

Turns out quite a few bowlers in Div 2 could too. Seems to be incredibly susceptible to getting out early, but can go big if he gets in.

He is average.

His last six months have been vintage. From Brisbane onwards he’s been near enough back to his best

He's too green to bat #3 imo

 

[Heboric]

Poor Rabada the other s**ts are not supporting him

 

[Gob]

Well that's the end of Cameron Green experiment atleast for now. Get Konstas in and Marnus down to 3

 

[Burgey]

He's too green to bat #3 imo

He’s too gangly to bat three. No one that tall can make it in the top order. If you’re 6’5” or more you should never bat above 5

 

[trundler]

Poor Rabada the other s**ts are not supporting him

They're not playing good cricket right now but questioning their modesty is uncalled for

 

[Uppercut]

Bit surprised Khawaja was picked for this test given his record over the past couple of years. Probably should have used the Sri Lanka series to blood someone else, was always going to be difficult to leave him out once he made runs there.

 

[Burgey]

This is awesome analysis from Mel Jones and Ian Bishop

 

[King Kane]

Two of the worst no.3s going around in this test match, Green and Mulder, at least Mulder would be a good nightwatchman lasting for 44 balls for 6.

Green has only lasted for 5 balls for a total of 4 runs in his two innings, I reckon even Chris Martin could have done a better job than that batting at 3.
