Clarke Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Lets just say the SA trio is a proven bunch and the Aussies have the potential to usurp them.
Lord Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 On turners, Australia have the advantage due to Lyon factor. On seaming or bouncing wickets, South Africa has a clear advantage. On roads, Australia has the advantage over South Africa due to Watson the 5th bowler and Kallis being retired. they can still play 4 seamers with Duminy as lone spinner.thats what they'll do I think

Cricketics Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 At their respective home - 1. South Africa 2. Australia 3. England. If the conditions are subcontinent - 1. South Africa 2. India/Pakistan 3. Sri Lanka IF the conditions are like that in NZ, ENG, AUS, SAF - 1. South Africa .2 Australia 3. England With all the pasting they got in Australia, I think England still has better bowling attack than some.
The Outsider Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Going forward, Australia. Till now, South Africa. Kallis factor.
Vijy Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Hard to tell. SA attack feels a little thin thanks to the absence of an all-rounder. They should play a 5 bowler attack to compensate for the absence of Kallis with 3 all-rounders - Robbie P, Philander and some batting all-rounder. (not necessarily Duminy)

Square Drive Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Haris+Johnson+Siddle+Lyon+Watson = Eranga+Pradeep+Lakmal+Herath+Mathews It couldn't have been a better match :woot:
Muloghonto Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 on dry/abrasive turners' date='reverse swing will come into play and nobody can come close to the destruction or mayhem steyn can cause when the ball is reversing..we have already seen what steyn did to us in nagpur and durban so i feel saf attack will be quite potent[/quote'] On dry/abrasive turners and against India/Sri Lanka, i agree, Steyn's ability to reverse it will make the Saffers more potent than Australia. But against any other team, i feel Australia has the advantage on dry turners as Lyon is quite a good off spinner who will run through any side that isnt India or Sri Lanka. These two teams eat spinners for breakfast so Lyon will not amount to much.
Vijy Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I think SA have decent enough players of spin too - Amla, ABdV and Faf to name three of them.
