From being super excited about that series to totally deflated now.

De Villiers is a big blow. Hard to see how they have the batting to compete with us now.

 

[Black_Warrior]

They don't

Then please don't watch

 

[Burgey]

SA will be a big chance because Australia's batting is so prone to massive collapses and they have the quality bowlers to exploit it. If you're taking 20 wickets you're always a shout.

Amla`s form is and was always our biggest issue (see India last year), Amla scores runs SA scores runs more than when AB does.... I think Bavuma and QDK scoring runs with the lower order will also be critical. I think our batting will be competitive. I do think that SA has a far better front-line bowlers than Aus, without Starc the porcelain Aus bowlers don`t look impressive to me...

South Africa would easily beat Rubbish Australia Team

Low scoring test series then?

Have you been watching Test matches in Australia over the last couple of years?

if he had a persistent elbow issue why was it not addressed during the off season while he was merrily playing IPL and CPL this is the moment South Africa badly needed him to step up and he's got himself on the surgery table.

 

[Burgey]

Because all he cares about is Arthur Ashe, like most modern players. It obviously meant more to him to hit DLF Maximums in a Mickey Mouse, made for TV/ illegal betting competition than does playing for his country.

And that, kids, is why he has never been, is not, nor will he ever be The One True AB.

Probably cos he cbf sacrificing money for an organisation that tells him he can't choose his best players in the most important cricket match of his life.

Jono with the John Howard "it wasn't my generation what done it so what's the problem" approach to the fostering of non-white cricketers in SA.

Itstl.

I'm keen to join watson and Gnske's Disciples of Christ gang.

 

[Burgey]

As a famously terrible political slogan once said "More to do, but heading in the right direction".

Not without Aryan certification you don't
