South Africa Tour of Australia [2022-23] - Discussion Thread

Saffers should have brought in that Kid Brevis & even Stubbs to score like Travis Head & they would win the series here. 

Quick 20-30 runs are gold dust in these games.

Saffers probably have best bowling attack on the planet but their batting line up is equally terrible. 

Saffwrs have best bowling for bouncy wickets only. Not for flat wickets or turning wickets or swing conditions friendly wickets.

How come pitch isn't given demerit points my darlings???

If India produces turners etc then all these losers will be onto us.

Nortje bowled without any brains. Could have given Aussies a real scare.

Saffers have so many quota picks. A team which is forced to compete with one hand tied behind. Really feel for them.

Verreyne is out. So brevis or stubby will come in. Stubbsy isn't good vs bounce though. Brevis is talented.

19 extras won the game for them

We are even worse with picks. Forget about saffwrs, India is riddled with political influenced picks and quota selections.

Verreyne is wk. He will be replaced by a wk not by Stubbs or brevis.

This logic only works if the white new batsmen are quality. Rassie is awful and next in line is a 20 yr old kid so the 'quota' picks aren't keeping any world class talent out

[SRT100]

The Aust- SA result at the GABBA is the reason Australia always wanted to play India first up at the GABBA.

[SRT100]

India must blow up their pitches for Australia Test series.

 

Sure Indians cant bat well against spin, but Australia is worse.

 

If India prepares fast bouncy wickets, Australia will destroy us. India will also likely have trundlers for Kuldeep, Axar and Ashwin so nothing to fear.

Where is Stephen Cook?  He scored a match winning ton last time in Aus.  Klassen is also doing great in domestics last  I heard

Who cares about one off wtc anyway. It's a silly format. Need to win big series. That's all.

Yes, it is gimmicky and meaningless.

That should be a given considering how Aus rigged the already pace friendly GABBA to help them even more. 

 

India will be fools to to give up home advantage.

If India play bumrah siraj and umran  then we can destroy Australia too. Assuming bumrah is fit ofcourse. 

Our batting is woeful due to pathetic selections so yes in that sense we will struggle on fast pitches.
