Rooting for SA to win the WTC 2025

[zen]

I hope that SA is able to break its KO jinx, and like the Kiwis goes on to win the WTC!

 

How is the team shaping up?

Batting is pretty weak 

 

Markram

De zorzi

Rickelton

Bavuma

Stubbs

Bendingham

Verrayne 

 

Mulder, Jansen, Botsch (all rounders) 

 

They should give promising opener Jordan Hermann a debut in the final test before WTC.

A team with Lord Bavuma in there isn't winning the final. I wish we had beaten NZ at home coz this would've been the easiest opponent we could've hoped for

Btw , some of the ex players and journos of Australia and England are mad with SA qualifying for WTC final.

Bavu is one of the best batters in the world for sub-200 seaming pitches. he will usually score 30s and 40s, which make enough of a difference on such tracks. And Eng, to screw us, would have given us one of those tracks.

SA has absolutely no chance , such a weak team, its a miracle they made it to final. Final will be over in 4 days if not in 3 , against Australia.

depends on which version of Aus turns up.

They're going to get slaughtered.

I hope it gets rained off, icc and broadcaster lose money anyway with no India. Hope next WTC is held elsewhere.

 

If in June maybe try:

 

WI (Barbados)

Very tough to get past the crazy luck Cummins is having these days as a captain.

Doesn't matter. On those tracks likes of Akash and even Nitish would be perfect alongside Bumrah.

SA are not beating Aussies at lords unless qdk and few more return.

Akash is a bit brainless. Not sure how NKR would do in these conditions - maybe he would perform better

Pommes will make a pitch to help their seamers in return for poaching their next generation of players

They should. SA have been donating players left, right, and center to Eng, NZ, and SA
