Pretty stupid to bring Tahir in with the new ball swinging. Will Tahir play another game?

Any idea of conditions-based planning was gone by that point, it was simply a ploy to mess with them. Good idea in theory, unfortunately he bowled a long hop.

What a game. Made covering English bearable.

Two Test series are the worst idea ever.

 

[Spark]

i'm just happy we've won a properly close ****ing match for once.

 

[Jayzamann]

This series unearthed Philander and Cummins. Awesome.

 

[adub]

So Johnson averages 50.50 with the bat this series; our highest. Surely can't be dropped.

I'd drop the prick. With a .303 if required.

Tbf, if Cummins had been given out the decision would have been upheld. Gamble almost paid off.

 

[Burgey]

So, umm, did SA, you know, not properly digest that then?

aw poor steyn, good to see Lillee's record intact

He really should do, still easily offers more than Harris.

Not a decision I would have taken but he was inches away from getting Cummins out then.

Harris bats better, fields better and bowls more economically. I don't think it's such an obvious choice really.

Such an amazing mini series, probably the best ever 2 match series of all time.

 

[Burgey]

Loved AB's comments there just as the match finished

"Well I think Pat Cummins should retire really..."

 

[Athlai]

Pretty sure I implied Johnson was the best guy in the world for this type of scenario the other day. Stoked.

Nothing in their batting. If anything Tahir is a fraction better there.

If they really want to go for the 'package' they should pick Botha, but Tahir fits the side a lot better IMO especially now that Philander is in there.

 

[Furball]

An 18 year old on debut who's already taken 6 wickets is exactly who I'd back to hit the winning runs tbh.

Johnson's two knocks have actually been ****ing amazing in this Test. Got us the 30 run buffer first dig then saw us home in the second.

 

[Redbacks]

Lyon's heartrate has probably just dropped below 180bpm

 

[Redbacks]

Cummins what a freak!

 

[Burgey]

Cummins MOTM.

AB was right. Pull the pin son. Go out a winner.

Not a bad way to end a test career.

Cummins MOTM aw ye baby
