*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[Johan]

this is getting embarrassing ffs

 

[Coronis]

Rabada not getting that 10fer

Don’t be so sure. He’s no Bumrah.

Also Jansen one over and off the field. Good sign…

finger injured in the field yesterday.

I think Starc should just hit out. they aint lasting long anyway.

 

[Gremlin]

The Saffers have bowled 20 no balls in the match.

I'm betting SA lose by roughly that margin.

He can score a 100 from here, you never know.

 

[Coronis]

Rickelton looking very rough after that. Another concern SA don’t need.

 

[Molehill]

It's looking pretty straightforward for batting at the mo, Lord's pitches often get easier, starting to look like this might be one....

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I notice that Smithy said "Australian intellect" (massive oxymoron).

He then corrected himself to say "Australian cricketing intellect".

The pitch is definitely looking at it's best for batting now, 250 can be a real possibility here

 

[Burgey]

Big contribution with the cue from Starc here in the context of this match

 

[StephenZA]

Batting may be better, but that is also probably with an older ball. It's the new ball that's going to be the decider.

I'm just hoping Markram and Rickelton can put some pressure back on the bowling quickly when given an opportunity.

Won’t get within a hundred.

 

[Johan]

pitch is dead as hell

 

[sayon basak]

Yeah, SA might have a good chance if they somehow claim the last wicket now.

 

[SeamUp]

Besides KGs wicket-ball there hasn't been much movement but our bowlers also look dead on their feet.

 

[kevinw]

Maybe but the Oz attack is quality and the Saf batting line up is weak, so they could be batting in Lahore and I'd be backing Oz from here.

 

[Coronis]

**** Bavuma looks like a kid next to Jansen lol

 

[King Kane]

That drop from Jansen off Starc last night is looking costly but batting is looking easier today though which is one positive for SA.

They need to start batting soon though.

 

[morgieb]

Not sure if this partnership is a good thing (built up the lead to a relatively robust one) or a bad one (suggests the wicket's gotten flatter). Have to take it though if you were Australia.

 

[cnerd123]

SA have bowled poorly today. Ball's not doing much, but plans have been all over the place.

Should bring Maharaj on but they're probably worried about Starc taking him on.
