Why not an eighteen man squad?
Would possibly imo, be the best assembly of bowlers since WI toured pakistan in 1990. In the 3rd test the bowling attacks were: Bishop, Ambrose, Walsh and Marshall vs Imran, Wasim, Waqar and Qadir. Ordinarily, i wouldn't encourage rsa to play 5 bowlers and possibly be a batsman short against Australias formidable attack but despite their ashes exploits, i still think that australia has a very fickle batting lineup . I'm actually looking forward to this series more than most others.
Completely agree.Just trying to bump this thread as the SA/Aus Test is getting discussion in a number of other threads.
I do want to say how much, even by accident and politics, I like the fact that SA and Aus have seperated the Test and LO's stuff. The fact that we get to concentrate and enjoy a 4 Test series without the series then dragging on into a LO campaign is great. And vice versa it is nice that when we do play the LO's stuff that is the focus. Think it may be a good change to consider for a number of tours that tend to drag.
I'm planning to go as well. It's the best stadium in SA btw. (Just a joke, I'm a bias Durban boy)Looking forward to this. Going down to Durban for the first three days of the Kingsmead Test. Never watched a match that and I hear it's a nice stadium.
Not many of us were. If you were a new born last time we beat them in SA< you'd be almost 50.Man we got to win this, even i wasnt around when we last beat Australia at home
