Orkney and Shetland are rightful Norwegian clay. They can keep Man.

The pitch determining the winner of this match just turned it into luckswing. Prove me wrong.

>>149170424
would rohther seth efrkia wun thes

Do Hazlewood and Lyon know that they're also allowed to take wickets?

>>149170437
It's true. And that's cricket. But our batters were better when the pitch was abysmal than the Saffers were, but because of the timing they got to bat on a road that we only had one wicket left for.

Last digit is how many wickets Boland would've taken in this match if he played over the man who doesn't pass the eye-test.

>>149170433
what about 3 and 5

Not yet but it has potential. Maybe a series end is the solution indeed

>>149170384

>>149170437
why didn't pozzstralia just play to the conditions of the pitch then

REVIEW IT

LOOK AT ME I'M PAT CUMMINS WATCH ME WASTE ALL MY REVIEWS

1 pooview thanks mate

>>149170454
Keep it neutral ground, never play in India and make it a series

diabolical review

Captain woke dumbo

They should just play the final in America. Please watch our sport.

Is it Beding-ham or Bed-in-gham?

I wonder if having more or fewer reviews available is preferred?

>>149170498
Pitch conditions/weather play too much of a role. Cricket is a backwards, dying sport because of it. This is a mickey mouse trophy because of how comical the change has been.

it's bedding your mum

>>149170464
>>149170485

Are you planning to take the reviews back home?

has anyone ever told lyon that he doesnt need to bowl like shit in every fourth innings?

Almost lunch lads

>>149170507
How about a one-off but in a roofed stadium on a drop in?

Remember lads, India have not yet won a world test championship, so in a way, we are all winners today

Reminder that >we've choked crucial moments whenever Hazlewood's in the team.

>>149170515
Looking good mate

>>149170514
he bowls good they just don't get out

This cricket venue makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul

Every single WTC winner has come from the southern hemisphere :)

test cricket should exclusively be played at the WACA

>>149170507
pitch conditions is why test cricket is great, teams have to adjust by country and ground and try and work out the best strategy
also lords always flattens out by the time day 3 rolls around, you should know this from all the ashes series you've played here

Let’s be real the northern hemisphere is inferior in every single way. The souties moan but they would’ve choked this final and deep down they know this to be true.

>>149170551
SO true

also the barbed wire on top of the walls

If we could get a good pitch prepared in Windies then it has a lot of kino potential

Friendly reminder that England would get heemed by both of these teams.

Never let peewees make OPs especially this cunt who always wants muh matchies fuck off the reddit you cunt

could this potentially be the first WTC that's remembered?
the very first one was obviously a meme and I couldn't even tell you how many more have been between that and this one but I know for a fact no one knows who won them
when historians looks back at the maiden winner of the WTC test champion championship I think there's a decent chance they could be saying it was South Africa

Yeah but they're cold weather huskies and we don't walk them much in the height of summer. Anything above 10 degrees is too warm. They get to run around a bit inside.

Guess who comes in after that?
Or are you one of those retards who think a "double hat-trick" is 6, when it's two hattricks in a row, which is 123, 234.

how can this cunt even see the ball with eyes like that

Sadly I dont think enough people care about cricket to even know we won till they read it on some news site on Tuesday (Monday is a public holiday). But a few dedicated fans will be very happy and maybe this win can be used to revive some interest in the sport here.

>>149171997
Rabada played a blinder in the first innings

Ngidi took very well timed wickets in the 2nd

Very good fielding from SA. Only 1 bad dropped catch

Smith and Head shat the bed

Plus SA got a massive rub of the green with the toss and the condition of the wicket yesterday, even though Bavuma and Markram finally played as well as they should

One off test suited SA more than Aus who would have likely won a series 2-1 or 4-1. It's like England winning the 1st test in India last year

>>149172145
Oh well. Its over now. Big picture, its good that SA won. Test cricket needs to be more competitive.

It'll get even worse under Jay Shah. People say there's a "Big Three", that chart completely obliterates that notion.

>There has not been a single three-match Test series not involving at least one of England, Australia and India since 2019.
>The main reason for the truncation of a series is that it is not possible to be fitted in because of the need for three days of rest between matches.
>Broadcasters have to provide an expensive outlay for a fifth day which doesn't always happen.
>Is it time for four-day Tests to become the norm? Barclay thinks it should be considered.
Once again it's pricks trying to make more profit by changing the sport for reasons

Visiting sides should get something out of it, that's a bit of a no brainer. Like at least a percentage of the broadcast and have their travel expenses covered

sorry but SA are still chokers desu famalams
this wasn't really a knockout style tournament - they won a one off match. they'll still bottle it in ODIs. quite an upset tbf though, Rabada and Makram did it for them but the Aus team was way better on paper

>>149173402
The Aussie team was shit on paper. I don't follow cricket anymore because the standard is garbage now.

>>149173423
>still watches gayfl

Mandatory minimum three match series. Two matches isn't really a series is it?

>>149173440
Only to laugh at how rigged it is and hope things get better

>>149173423
>doesn't follow it

I like what you said about my island

is it time for the northern hemisphere to be relegated to the second division WTC?

>>149173402
Ultimately the coin toss was the deciding factor and it was a 50% chance for either side to win.

reckon we need to look into developing an argentinian cricket academy, southernhemispherelads

>>149173530
Australia fucked up throwing away too many in first innings. Add another hunderd to the 4th innings chase it's a close match. Saffas bowled well and batted better and deserved it, toss is cope Australia had chances

finally shows up

>>149173576
Not really. Whoever batted first was always going to be on the back foot. If conditions stayed the same throughout then Australia would have won. But conditions changed in a way that favoured South Africa massively. Australia made similar scores in both innings, but South Africa’s innings may as well have been played by different sides.

>>149173604
I don't watch cricket cause I'm not a fucking tranny.

>>149173543
think that was bard and zachy's promise to cric but they fell out and never delivered (maybe not in that order)

>>149173645
That's a bit rude mate. The cricket door is always open for you if you have a change of heart

yes always more space in the British Isles for another cricketing nation.

>>149173713
>the British Isles

>>149173704
My apologies, friend. I will now watch your sport.

Honestly the more I watch other sports the more I realise how completely absurd it is that cricket doesn't have a governing body with absolute power over scheduling.

Even state owned Manchester City still have to play against fucking Luton and Ipswich, because it's on their calendar, but god forbid someone suggests a round robin for the WTC. Where will we fit our five ashes series?

>>149173764
Good man yourself

>>149173767
It's dangerous to do that though because whoever gets in charge will start counting beans and fuck around with traditional things like 5 match series and stuff

>>149173530

bard is irish

>>149174141
that would explain why bard was missing the last few days and seemingly replaced by the "australian" posting with the irish flag.
Very interesting indeed

>youtubers asking saffa fans where they are from
>no one was from south africa

lads the deanoball twats are trying to take 'CWC' for themselves as 'Club World Cup' but that's always been ours. how do we stop this?

Couldnt decide between a brandy n coke and a rum n coke so I had one of each

>>149174438
its going to flop anyway, they've resorted to slashing prices to $4 i heard. the quarters will just be european teams only, so even the sudacas will lose interest.

>>149174438
only sudacas care much like the old format
the last sudaca win was corinthians in 2012 which they still laud over english fans, but if you ask the average chelsea fan they'd be hard pressed to remember that they lost that final

>>149174438
How do socca ass-niggas keep up with the bajillion random combinations of club leagues happening in different combinations every year

>>149174635

glad south Africa won

why didn't any of the bowling attack except Cummins and Starc try to get people out? perplexing stuff

just say bowling line-up
or just bowling

line-up is ok as an (inferior) synonym for attack in this case but bowling on its own makes no sense

bet his tarq mum paid the 695 and all. spoilt brat

Nice though isn't it
And You're wrong
She picked it out though
And I will probably get her to choose it all as men aren't good at this

said it before, cricket's peak was the entire noughties
250 was considered a 'good' score in ODIs and it felt like an even battle between bat and ball
Game's gone

so true

1996 WC changed the story fella

ODIs outside of the wc have been boring for at least 20yrs. t20 was a bit of fun to start a tour or even as a very short tournament it's still ok but it shouldn't be taken seriously because it's not, it's like 7s rugby nobody wins 7s rugby and thinks they're a great rugby team and nobody who actually likes cricket thinks t20 is anything, the hundred is basically designed to destroy the sport

>t20 was a bit of fun to start
If you say so

>no test cricket for literally days
>>149175908

>>149176062
It was. I remember the first international NZ vs AUS they wore the old 80s kits and just had a bash at Eden Park to start off the test and odi tour. Nobody took it seriously, I can't even remember who won or what happened

didn't mind the Umar Gul (fuck he was shit) era of t20s tbf

zachy 'never watched a t20' was hooked on those early games in the 2000s. he's just being a revisionist on it to sound like a purist

Obviously was exaggerating for comedic effect
I think I have watched one t20 game

>comedic effect

Really hope they can sack up and make it competitive

Winning the series is something else. I am interested to see a team sans Kohli and Sharma and see the leadership shown.

Player Ratings:
1. Usman Khawaja - 2.5/10
>6 (43). Looked old as fuck in the field.
2. Marnus Labuschagne - 4.5/10
>39 (120). Better than Ussie, but this is still not what I would consider a good showing.
3. Cam Green - 1/10
>Didn't contribute anything at any point.
4. Steve Smith - 6/10
>79 (137). Looked really good before nicking off to a part timer. Showed his age with that finger injury.
5. Travis Head - 3/10
>20 (31). Just didn't show up with the bat.
6. Beau Webster - 6/10
>81 (103). Had some clear nerves at the start of his first innings. Didn't offer much with the ball.
7. Alex Carey - 4/10
>65 (81). Loses two points for dropping a sitter and getting out reverse sweeping first ball after lunch.
8. Pat Cummins - 7.5/10
>7 wickets. Passed the eye test throughout the test match.
9. Mitchell Starc - 7/10
>5 wickets and a valiant 58*. Should be batting above Cummins.
10. Nathan Lyon - 3/10
>No wickets and 2 runs. Bowled too short and never corrected.
11. Josh Hazlewood - 4/10
>2 wickets. Got a point for sticking around with Starc in the second innings.

Serious debate. Based on what we’ve seen so far this summer. Are the ashes coming home.

After seeing a batting performance that dire you'd have to think so

>>149199816
He get's a one because he'd still walk into any test team in the world, including your own after dominating your pitiful bowling stocks in English domestic cricket

i fucking cream at the thought of a home ashes loss to send cuckwaja and smith off
