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

[TheParraboy]

I remember the excitement when South Africa were back for the 1992 WC and always was excited for those nineties series esp 93/94 and 97/98. That 1999 World Cup was sliding doors for us both. That golden Saffa period from 08/09 until 13/14 was also top notch. Of course 17/18 sandpaper was a blight but that last Aust/Saf series was so one sided I felt like SAf were going to almost die. But credit to them - they’ve rebuilt and now won the WTC. I think it’s a great shot in the arm and beating us is a good chest beating moment for them. At the end of the day, strong test teams and strong test cricket is what we want. Welcome to winners club lads. Can’t wait for our next series now.

Not too long a wait

I believe 3 tests and 3 ODI are scheduled for sept/Oct 2026…in South Africa
