Australia tour of South Africa (white ball) Aug 31 - Sept 2023

[King-Gutho94]

Marn's kind of wicket.

Probably won't have to deal with this in India.

World Cup will be mostly roads.

The odd bunsen burner here and there. But 65/70% of pitches will be flat i reckon.

As the ICC would be keen for some 350/400 + scores purely for entertainment value.

Plus i reckon India would back themselves to out score teams in a high scoring shootout with there batting depth then make it a lottery with a spinning wicket.

World Cup will be mostly roads.

Which is all good.

Even if Davey doesn't find form we've still got plenty of hitting power and a good bowling attack. Haze should have a great tournament if we can keep him fit. Zampa too I think.

Good chance at this tournament.

I reckon were 4th at best tbh.

England, India are the 2 favourites & Pakistan always find a way to surprise in these tournaments.

Anything less then a Semi Final is a massive fail though.

And i would consider finding a new white-ball coach and leave McDonald for the redball stuff.

I think we are as good a chance as any. We probably are a better side than we were in 2019 WC.

India's ODI performance has been a bit iffy the past year or so. We even beat them over there earlier in the year. They'll have a lot of pressure & expectation on them too.

Pakistan will be pushing shit up hill the whole tournament. They are a good side, but the BCCI will be doing anything it can to stop them winning a WC in India.

Anyone see this Coetzee fellow celebrate/send off the Rig?

Fair dinkum you would think it was a crucial wicket in the WC final...

Seeing as how World Cup finals aren’t something South Africa have experienced, so for them it may as well have been. Close as they’re ever going to get.

2nd ODI on tonight from 9pm

I feel a great Davey 50 in this one..

The Rig, Australia's newest opening 'fast' bowler

Why Marcus Stoinis has become an Australia new-ball bowler

The problem, however, is he averages just 16.55 with the bat in the last four years and has not scored a half-century in 29 innings

[Sphagnum]

These merkins telling us we’re not pronouncing Labuschagne properly can get f**ked

 

[mozza91]

That leap!

 

[King-Gutho94]

Marnus making a point to the selectors here about missing out on that WC spot.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Our middle order apart from Carey were all born outside of Australia.

Marnus - South Africa
Inglis and Hardie - England
David - Singapore

Would have to be a record I think

 

[TheParraboy]

We are shitting the bed a bit
Should easily got well over 400 by now

8/373 - 48 overs

 

[TheParraboy]

SA need 393 to win

Good luck , 2-0 coming up

 

[TheParraboy]

We win by 123 runs

Zampa 4/48

Marnus player of the match again
