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

[speedster]

Anyone got any sandpaper?

 

[Bazal]

Baldy against a gun player of spin. Hopefully he holes out treating him like the baldie he is

 

[Bazal]

FMD less than a bees dick in it. Still, after the joke first review we can't afford to review unless we get rooted so that was dumb

STARC!!!!!

 

[yobbo84]

Perfect batting conditions and we still create chances and take wickets. Will miss watching this attack when they retire.

 

[yobbo84]

Wild review. Crazy stuff.

 

[Bazal]

Jesus f**king christ, there goes the reviews. Cummins is horrific with them

 

[speedster]

outside the line

 

[speedster]

desperation bald

Markram is going to be dead plumb given not out in about 5 minutes, isn't he

We would deserve it tbh

Being booed for appealing

This Lord's crowd is genuinely f'd in the head

Not just the crowd, I copped it yesterday and I’m in f**king West Norfolk. Didn’t know the bloke, didn’t say anything to the bloke, but heard my accent and started ranting about stumpings, sandpaper and shit.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Ah well, we stank and at least it wasn’t the bitter poms or the Indians.

 

[Bazal]

Our batting was pathetic at the end of the day. And 2 of this top 7 are on their last legs before retirement and the whole attack could go rapidly too...there have to be serious concerns about the next WTC cycle IMO. We haven't bothered to set up the next opener(s) off the rank, the next captain, up and coming quicks, anything.

Bailey on paper is a good candidate for selector, because he's recent enough to be well across the Shield performances etc. But he's f**king terrible at the job in practice and should go.

I'd drop Marn for the Windies too and bring in Konstas, and Smith will be out so Inglis/McSweeney in. Probably McSweeney for me because we need a 3, and Inglis/Green/Head/Webster are not that. Pick Fergus O'Neill and rest one of the main three quicks on a rotating basis.

If there was another opener I'd rest Uzi to give them a go too.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Good catch

 

[Bazal]

Nice grab. Markram deserved the red ink but

 

[speedster]

Great knock.

 

[yobbo84]

Well done Saffas. They won the weather lottery and capitalised on it to the fullest.

 

[T-Boon]

Makram played with respect for his wicket and the traditions of the game. He did not bat like a pork chop. He did well.

 

[Bazal]

FFS Pollock and even Ian Smith being quite reverent of the situation and the significance of an SA win....and then Haydos with his f**ken Bob Katter drawl cracking shit jokes and carrying on like a clown.
