*Official* Match #10 — Australia Vs South Africa Oct 12th, Lucknow

[Prince EWS]

There’s only eight keepers in Aus ahead of him now.

Getting there.

We've lost against arguably the two favourites and even then if marsh doesn't try to catch the ball with his dick we drag the tournament favourites close. Something is going on behind the scenes and I can't tell what it is. We're fielding like Muppets and 2 games in we've fielded 2 completely different middle orders.

 

[BeeGee]

He’s a dud pom import. Bringing the English mediocrity and “oh, never mind old chap, you’ve just ****ed up but oh well” bull**** loser culture that is endemic to the pale, miserable UK.

Looking at Aus' early exit from the rugby WC and their performance here, I think it's Aus with the mediocrity loser culture at the moment.

 

[Burgey]

Getting there.

His parents can buy him a spot

Just showed the 99 WC semi final. No one remembers Cronje given out caught at slip after it hit his foot

We’ve already established earlier in the thread that no one in Aus cares about rugby

 

[Molehill]

We went 3-3 against India in india in the leadup to this wc and beat a full strength England in England. We've been fine in odi when anywhere near full strength.

When did Aus win in England?

Just admit it’s not a great team right now. Head and Agar give more balance to this side. We’re coming into this tournament on the back injuries and uncertainty on who our starting 11 is. It’s not a good look to get pummelled by two potential semi finalists in a row

 

[morgieb]

This feels like SA 2019 - a once powerful unit looking well past its prime and just floundering. Weird selections aren’t helping either.

the saffers have definitely improved since then, but losing to them puts us on the back foot massively. Gonna need a huge turnaround to even make the semis at this point.

No one in hell gave us a chance to win the world cup in a rugby we changed coach and didn’t win a game at home before the world cup. Knives were already out before the tournament started

Dont think Pollock was out either that semi. It was the worst luck for RSA that game.

When did Aus win in England?

2021 during the peak of covid. We went over and beat them 2-1 with smith missing.

 

[Nintendo]

This is grim as it gets my god.

 

[social]

That’s an atrocious shot

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah they're done for

 

[Viscount Tom]

Australia would have done better if they got Hayden and Finch down from the box to bat today.

 

[Molehill]

A number of World Cups have been won by teams starting slowly and coming strong at the end (like the last one), but this team looks a long way off at the mo. As mentioned elsewhere, something doesn't seem right to field as poorly as they did.

 

[Tec15]

Good opportunity to maintain a very good NRR for South Africa.

 

[King Kane]

Australia making the Netherlands and Afghanistan look good.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Looks like stoinis will hack his way to 30 ball 50

 

[GIMH]

Long tournament so who knows what could happen but…jeez
