*Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

[Burgey]

The down side to a SA tour here is you don't get the third Boxing Day inst lament of an NZ test at 8 am, Melbourne at 10.30 then a SA test kicking off at about 7.30 at night.

Haha I thought exactly the same thing.

This year/in 3 days, NZ is playing a Boxing Day test in Pakistan.

 

[centurymaker]

Have we ever had 4 tests starting on the same day?

 

[TheJediBrah]

They should drop Starc and play both Boland and Hazlewood

 

[GoodAreasShane]

No

 

[TheJediBrah]

And drop Head while they're at it

Bring Handscomb in to prepare for India

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Just play the entire Vic shield team, maybe that way CA can actually get the people from your joke of a state to turn up

 

[trundler]

What happened to Jon Holland?.

 

[ImpatientLime]

do the megamind CA selectors have the ability to separate handscombs potential upside in india to his potentially calamitous downside in england?

**** the bed in the Tests he played. Now he's not even first-choice spinner for his state.

Hard to gague. My guess would be yes but if Handscomb scores runs in India that might change.

Yep. Why didn't they consider this. Starc is *** at mcg averaging 40. Haze is a lot better at mcg.

 

[TheJediBrah]

See halba agrees with me, I must be right

hazlewood failed his fitness test and ruled himself out, boland keeps his place

hazlewood might be better suited to the ashes tour, his style of bowling is suitable there. Also he can be considered for the SCG if one of the bowlers need a rest. There is also Michael Neser, a lot of pressure on pace bowling spots. Neser is in good form.

In india, aus will likely play 3-4 spinners, cam green the all rounder seam option and only 1 quick in Cummins.

not sure about that chief

 

[StephenZA]

Does it really matter which bowlers Aus play against this SA line-up?!

Matters for their stats, I guess.

I think SA will play well in this Test .
Even against IND/NZ , people had written off SA after 1st Test loss.

This is much stronger opposition though
