South Africa v Australia in SA [5 ODIs 2023 (Sep 7-Sep 17)]

[NYRB]

I can genuinely see, Tim David being last ODI for at least the next 5 years.

This was an experiment. Tim David also I dont think is that interested in Domestic 50 over cricket and given the amount of franchise cricket around the world , he may not even get the chance to prove himself.

Aussie selectors wont be buying the bait , that T20 performances should be a form guide to 50 over cricket.

SA are going to get a rude shock in the WC when they play a team that is not Australia

 

[Torz]

Neser averaging about 2 in ODI’s now

 

[grumbleguts]

Tell you what, this commentator loves the phrase "tell you what"

 

[Tugga27]

Smith, Head, Maxwell ... yeah none at all

Probably put a line through Trav.
Smith for Inglis and Maxwell for David.

It's not a great line up.

Even when they play Australia, this is our back up team.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bad call by the on field umpire

Hope so, we aren't going anywhere if we don't beat SA.

 

[Tugga27]

Greeny is that much out of form it's not funny.

And there's people here who reckon he's a Monty to replace MM in the test team.

 

[Doggy]

Probably put a line through Trav.
Smith for Inglis and Maxwell for David.

It's not a great line up.

Missing Maxwell, Smith, Cummins, Starcke

All 4 are back against India. That's more than a 3rd of the lineup.

Think Short will be a decent addition

Our bowling lineup is much stronger and Smith for Inglis and Maxwell for David are no brainers.

Agar should be back for the WC as well.

Half our side is out.

I like Short as a selection.
It doesn't look a strong side to me.

We'll get a better idea against India I guess.

 

[Doggy]

Dan Christian should keep his phone on, he might get a late call up for the World Cup.

No offence, but you have less idea about cricket than you do football

 

[Tugga27]

Our batting line up really worries me.

Australia is ranked #1 in the world for a reason

They've been chopping and changing this line-up the last 3 games

 

[Tugga27]

This will be 3 100 run losses on the trot.
Would love to know MM's thinking on opting to chase again.

At least he won't be captain during the WC.

 

[Doggy]

Dan Christian couldn't be any worse than Tim David.

David won't be in the WC team

 

[Moonwatcher]

Dan Christian should keep his phone on, he might get a late call up for the World Cup.

John Davison too

 

[Plugger35]

Nathan Ellis goes bang for six, he's an underrated cricketer.

And it's all over.

Another comprehensive win for South Africa to win the series.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

100+ again

The rankings can be misleading.
I'd have England as clear favourites.

 

[Plugger35]

Time to switch over to watch the Wallabies lose to Fiji in the Rugby World Cup.

Follows AFL, dislikes Australian teams

 

[Plugger35]

Jansen getting the Player of the Match award and Markram getting the Player of the Series award.

Can't argue with that considering that SA won this match and the series.
