2025 WTC FINAL: Aust v SA @ Lords SOUTH AFRICA TEST CHAMPIONS

[King-Gutho94]

WTC final is always played in England.

I assume its down to timing and the fact they already know England won't be qualifying for it.

A history of South African heartbreak | cricket.com.au

Yet again a major global tournament has seen South Africa exit early and in less than flattering...

Meanwhile South Africa's record in big games

If your keen to have a peep its takes a while to get through.

Thanks for your input Jimmy.

Just because England are shit you want to call it flawed and irrelevant.

Moral victories dont count Jimmy

Reliving some great moments between the two sides.

First test I ever attended. Berwongle stand.

I believe Hayden got a century on the first day as well. Kallis got the third that day (0-100 bowling figures).

I'm halfway through.

The little Aussie battler. The little engine that could.

Prediction :

Australia win:
the white noise will be the WTC should be best of 3 tests

SA win:
different white noise from the same voices - SA Well earned and deserved test champions

Let’s smash those Saffer pricks.

 

[Twizzle]

I beleive it was Smudger's choice to bat at 4

 

[Sime_11]

very much looking forward to this - will be a cracker

Marnus & Usman will be sitting in the pavilion before 10 overs have been bowled

 

[TheParraboy]

Under 5hrs for the coin toss..

Coward.

He needs top bat 3 or open.

We need to find a new opener, Labs out.

Best young bat in Australia needs to be at 4 not at 3.

 

[speedster]

I dislike seeing the batting order changed too much. Never ends well. May as well send Green in to open and keep our regular 3,4,5,& current 6 as is.

In the Windies, it should be Konstas to open with Uzzie and Green at 6 with unfortunately no room for Webster unless he tons up in this game and Marnus fails again.

Side question:

Anyone know of a good pub or sports bar that will be showing this match in Sydney CBD? Some of them don't do Prime

Previously watched cricket at the sportsbar inside Starcity. Not sure if that was Prime though. At $9.99 and EOFY this month I got the Prime subscription. Otherwise I usually locate other streams...

Usually I'd just call the bar to be sure. At Cheers they have a habit of putting on rugby to appeal to the backpackers. Maybe some of them will watch cricket tonight.

Mid 20s and sunny atm, bit of rain about days 2-4 though.

Cheers mate, Googled Cheers and they are covering the test, so thumbs up.
We aint going out tonight, either tomorrow or friday (if 20 wickets fall today then its tomorrow night lol)

Googled some of the popular ones earlier today, that actually advertise the sports they are covering live, and nada..
eg York75, Trinity Bar..

Yeah I do the 9.99 for every ICC event, then cancel, usually watch a movie or doco as well

Defo a bat first game then or does the pitch have a grass seam?

Cheers do a good chicken schnitty as well. Or used to. I haven't had one there in about 15 years so maybe things have changed. They should have Guinness at least.

Walked past Cheers the other day getting off the light rail. That area of George street has really come to life now.
