*Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

[ashley bach]

Had a feeling all along Starc would be the top run scorer.

Hazlewood has only been dismissed once since the WI loss - when he scored 22 in that partnership with Green.

 

[TheJediBrah]

This is bad signs for Aus. Way too easy to bat out here and Starc and Haze are tiring themselves out batting.

SA to win by 8 wickets

 

[Coronis]

Fun stat: Only Bavuma (59, 52, 46) and Jansen (48) have ever scored more than Starc has this innings in England.

 

[Coronis]

South Africa pretty desperate. Pulling out the old ball change trick.

 

[SeamUp]

Have they got it wrong with not more balls hitting the stumps and is it because they are bowling to 'tailenders'?

How many of the batters have played there before? I know Markram has.

When in England, do as the English do

Hope they've been showering though

Seem to have stuck to a 4/5th stump line. With a moving ball tends to be decent. With the older ball probably needed to target the stumps. Cpt Hindsight strikes again...

Starc 44*(111) with a match winning innings @SillyCowCorner1

I swear this always happens with the tailenders. Makes no sense. Bowl a couple of short ones but mainly go for the stumps.

My tail is wagging too.

Hayden really is a horrible commentator isn't he.

 

[Qlder]

I just came on to post the same. Worst I've ever heard. Guy makes moronic statements and thinks he's funny

Sounds like your standard Queenslander tbh

 

[Uppercut]

Hayden really is a horrible commentator isn't he.

Permanently loud, confident, and wrong.

 

[Coronis]

They were right about it being good not having Pietersen on the broadcast for the first hour and a half.

 

[Shady Slim]

genuinely brilliant from these two this is test cricket

 

[ashley bach]

Whether the pitch is better or not this is now psychological scarring for the Proteas.

 

[Burgey]

Permanently loud, confident, and wrong.
