*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

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

That's a strange thing to say, why do you say that?

I for one am very excited about Cam Greens 2x inevitable scores of 150+ in the Ashes. Smoking medium pace dross merchants Atkinson and Woakes all over the shop in the sweltering sun.

If your eyes are too far off the ground, you struggle to play the moving ball as it approaches you. There’s a reason why great batsmen are all relatively short. Some tall blokes Bosch it around ok, but it’s artless hackery and almost always done inthe middle order where the ball doesn’t move much

I thought it was more about having a lower center of gravity and shorter batsmen tending to be more fleet of foot so they can have better footwork, but that actually makes sense when you put it that way. Thanks!

I might be too optimistic for 5-0 to England

I now think 4-1

Burgey's just saying that cuz he's 5 foot 5 and wants to feel better about himself.

I hope this shows selectors you do actually need a specialist #3 and they send an SOS to K'Pat or McSweeney for the #3 spot on Windies tour

I'm 5'11". Maybe I'd make a good fast bowler since I'm very tall (for a woman)? I'm also left-handed.

Then my approach to batting, knowing me, would be similar to Tim Southee. A typical innings for me: dot, 4, 6, out. Good strike rate though! :P

Yeah hi everyone. Been a while

43-2 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Primrose_D12]

Here we go. Three down.

 

[GotSpin]

Marnus is so soft

 

[TimAngas]

I've defended Marnus' selection for the longest time and I even think him playing this match was defensible but clearly needs a serious spell.

 

[cnerd123]

Stage is set for Head to smash a run-a-ball 50

 

[cascade]

Definitely worth a review... could be big trouble for Aus

 

[King Kane]

Rabada and Jansen are keeping SA in this.

Ngidi hasn't looked that threatening.

Right on cue he might have Smith.

Good timing

Ngidi gets steve

There's four. This is getting interesting!
