What's new

South Africa (138 & 285/5) defeat Australia (212 & 207) by 5 wickets in the final to clinch the World Test Championship 2023/25 title

@Rana Someone told me, Carey doesnt make it into any test team and rizwan would gladly walk over him.

I'm 100% sure this man is taking the lead to 200 today
 
Lol Head must be rueing the opposition wasn't a blue team... A nightmare of final for him
 
Rizwan fans have to be the dumbest fans in the world

As dumb as Rizwan himself

No wonder he had to admit on TV he is uneducated

He makes educated people sound like they are uneducated

Told you, Carey would take his team to 200. He's easily the best no 7 in test cricket atm. Magar nahi, according to hyder, Carey cant even walk into Pakistan test team due to Rizwan Gilchrist
 
Which clown was it who claimed Australia would take Rizwan over Carey and Inglis?

Do you understand what you are signing up for when asking for Rizwan in your side??

If you don’t understand the dynamics of cricketers and the baggage they bring… I suggest you shut up!
 
Proper cricketing shots

Proper batting

Very neat keeper. Very good batter. Has turned up for Australia time and time again under pressure situations.

Carey ensured Australia will take the lead to 200 tonight

People think Rizzu avg 47 in the ramiz era, avg has dropped to 41 post ramiz equals being > Carey.

Khawaja, Root and Brooks averaged 105, 266 and 150 on those pitches. If Ramiz Raja monitored them, then we'd have 3 batters > Bradman by now
 
All hail Alex Carey. Wtc 2023 and wtc 2025. Won Australia 2 trophies.

Underrated gem.

How many trophies has Rizzu won for pakistan again 🫠
 
It's traditionally easy to bat on day 3 and 4, acc to KP.

Proteas looking good.
 
That is stumps , Aussies lead by 218 runs , and have just two wickets left.

Tomorrow they game can finish , a big day tomorrow is coming up.

Rizwan is still the best Test WK Batter in the world. Carey both in batting and Keeping is not on par with him. Rizwan clears him.

Rana may have personal prejudice against him. But I don't think you do.

1) Sarfi is old now, you are comparing a 37-38 year old to a batter who's 32-33. 32-33 is still a gun age and typically 37-38 is where you are finished. We have seen this with Warner in psl as well.

Although Warner is clearly a goat and even his burnt out self is >>>>>> Any Pakistani players he is still washed up.

1 year made a huge difference since Warner at age 35-36 tonked Pakistan for 164 and smashed a super century against them in the final test but in psl he was bang avg against d grade bowlers. BBL and PSL made it clear he is finished.

Sarfi's uae knocks and innings are single handidely > anything rizwan has played in test cricket. Im fact an old sarfi managed to save a NZ test. That innings alone is > Rizwan's career. We couldn't even muster draws at home before sarfi stepped in..
Some goat Rizwan was during that time.

1) Easy Kamran Akmal is still Pakistan's best keeper bat even if he is beyond medicore. He was an impact player who could win matches once in a blue moon.

Averages dont tell you everything in cricket especially from those that played in the one ball era.

2014-2017 sarfi is also >>> any era rizwan but because people are going to mention 2018-2019 you'll complain.

Those wc knocks vs SA and Ireland and those knocks vs Sri lanka in ct 2017 saving the trophy and eventually winning it are > Rizzu's career.

Infact sarfi in 2016 psl scored a killer 44 of 22 chasing 236 against LQ once and he won the game alongside KP and Nabi on a dubai pitch. Not these paradise pindi pitches.

I count the trophies that a team could have won.

These 3 players never featured in a final. Rizwan despite flopping like a fish in 2022 asia cup and 2022 world cup could have rectified himself. All would have been forgiven if he could just perform and score a killer knock on the biggest and grandest of stage.

Instead he completly botched it. Not he case with 95% of aussie players who reach a final.

Sachin is the only outlier as he didnt really contribute in crucial events but his longevity metric solos him out. However Indians oberrate him as a result.

Rizwan in aus 2024 is his only outlier test series.

He has 3 outlier moments in his career.

A) WC 2023 knock even if the bowling was rubbish considering Abdullah shafiw scored a century as well and in test both khawaja and Abdullah scored double centuries in sri Lankans own den lol. But forgivable as it was in a world cup chasing a monster total.

B) 2021 Pakistan vs India. India was shockingly poor vs NZ and pakistan in 2021.

C) Australia test series.

Too bad he's no where close to Carey in contribution otherwise. Carey has contributed to important odi bi laterals wins such as Aus vs England in the recent odi series.

Despite bi laterals waiting relevance, that was a rare series where both sides played at full strength.

Played a crucial knock in ct vs England as well but Inglis was the main star.

Majority of sarfi's innings abroad was past his peak. His prime was in UAE which is a far harder pitch to bat on then Pakistan.

The fact that rizwan avg 40 in pakistan (47 in ramiz era) is a bloody joke. I repeat a bloody joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Even sarfi who was aged and weary avg 83.

Lol sarfi averages more then 70 babar and 47 rizwan in pakistan. Ik its cause he played lesser games, but its still clown worthy that none of these folks could consistently score 100's on pitches that would turn people into Bradman 🤣🤣🤣

New logic for covid fans.

Batting at no 6 is a harder position to bat in test cricket then no 7 that has to deal with the new ball coming into play and bat with the tail 🤣🤣.

Jeez I wonder why rizwan cried his way to no 6. Is it cause he averages 36 at no 7 in the ramiz Raja Bradman era? With zero cemturies?

Rizwan got to bat at 7 and 6 during ramiz era and could never avg over 50 while you have 36 year old sarfi's avg 83 🤦🏻🤦🏻
 
Pat Cummins tore through South Africa before a Proteas fightback left the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 on a knife-edge at the end of an absorbing second day at Lord’s.

Cummins took six for 28, reaching 300 Test wickets in the process, as South Africa lost their final five batters for 12 runs and were bundled out for 138, leaving them 74 behind.

But the Proteas’ pacemen quickly got to work and reduced the defending champions to 73 for seven, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi proving particularly effective.

Alex Carey’s crucial 43 lifted the lead above 200 and Australia will resume in the morning on 144 for eight, an advantage of 218.

Resuming on 43 for four, 169 runs adrift, South Africa began with an intent which had been missing from the previous evening session.

Captain Temba Bavuma struck two expansive boundaries off the same Mitchell Starc over before launching Cummins into the stands over deep mid-wicket for the first six of the Final.

But the Australia skipper soon had revenge against his opposite number as Bavuma drove uppishly to cover, where Marnus Labuschagne took an excellent diving catch to end the promising fifth-wicket stand on 64.

South Africa reached lunch on 121 for five but any hope they had of closing in on – or even surpassing – Australia’s first innings total went up in smoke as Cummins seized the initiative from the Pavillion End.

Kyle Verreynne was first to go, Cummins successfully reviewing an lbw verdict after colliding with the batter during his appeal, and, three balls later, he held on to a return catch to remove Marco Jansen.

The key scalp was not far behind as Cummins induced an outside edge from David Bedingham, five runs short of his half-century, to bring up his five-wicket haul and seal a place on the honours board.

After Keshav Maharaj was run out, Australia’s captain wrapped up the innings as Kagiso Rabada holed out to Beau Webster, bringing up Test victim number 300. Only four bowlers have required fewer deliveries to reach the landmark, while just three Australians – Dennis Lillee, Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath – have got there in fewer Tests.

South Africa needed an injection of momentum with the ball upon the resumption and as is so often the case, it was Kagiso Rabada who provided it.

The seamer removed Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green in the same over for the second time in as many days, Khawaja edging behind before Green drove his second ball loosely to Wiaan Mulder at third slip and fell for a duck.

Steve Smith and Labuschagne saw Australia through to tea but, in another mirror image of day one, the evening session brought a dramatic collapse.

It began when Labuschagne nicked Jansen behind and Smith was trapped in front by Ngidi in the next over to leave the scoreboard reading 48 for four.

Beau Webster, Australia’s top scorer in the first innings, was next to be wrapped on the pads by Ngidi as he fell for nine and South Africa’s tails were well and truly up when Mulder uprooted Travis Head’s off stump.

Ngidi, by now a man transformed as he steamed in from the Nursery End, picked up his third scalp when Cummins was clean bowled via his pad and, in what felt like the blink of an eye, Australia had lost five for 30.

It was left to Carey and Starc to repair the damage and they successfully halted South Africa’s momentum, Carey helping the pendulum swing back towards his side with five boundaries in a pivotal knock.

He was trapped lbw by Rabada but South Africa missed the chance for another breakthrough when Jansen put down a sharp chance at gully to give Starc a lifeline in the final over of an action-packed day.

Scores in brief

Australia v South Africa – ICC World Test Championship Final 2025, Lord’s – day two

Australia 212 all out in 56.4 overs (Beau Webster 72, Steve Smith 66; Kagiso Rabada 5/51, Marco Jansen 3/49) and 144/8 in 40 overs (Alex Carey 43, Marnus Labuschagne 22; Lungi Ngidi 3/35, Kagiso Rabada 3/44)

South Africa 138 all out in 57.1 overs (David Bedingham 45, Temba Bavuma 36; Pat Cummins 6/28, Mitchell Starc 2/41)

Australia lead by 218 runs with two wickets remaining

He had good time in uae and now u claim uae pitches are difficult meanwhile u claimed uae was easy to bat on hence azhar asad and misbah managed good avgs. Have some consistency.
Sarfraz was good player of spin in slow pitches but was as bad as naseem shah in sena conditions.

That is not what I claimed.

UAE are spin heavy pitches. Azhar, Asad, Misbah are very good players of spin with YK being a boss at it.

But their clearly not good players of pace. Pakistan dominated cause most SENA batters aren't good players of spin.

Even ponting was poor against spin especially in india. Ponting was good against spin but not on spin heavy dens, he was a pace basher and a pace boss.

Everyone knows Misbah was good against spin and was a freak of a backfoot player against it, but against pace, all these guys were clowns( except azhar who was very good vs Pace)

Asad shafiq vs pace is non existent. Misbah would get out anytime new ball came on in test cricket. Even major the ultimate misbah fan boy agrees that Misbah would have made a horrible opener in that ATG Pakistan thread which later got a sequel, Misbah vs Inzimam 🤣🤣.

Secondly, UAE pitches are easier then ramiz Raja pitches and Pakistan pitches. Its only after aqib javed started doctoring pitches that the likes of sajid Khan and noman became murli and warne on steroids.

Before that its not hard to play in Pakistan in general, especially in ramiz era lol.

Secondly if u think a sub 20 avg guy is good then good for you but i dont have such low standards.

Different eras, by this logic Ponting a sub avg 40 and 80 sr batter is below pretty much every batsmen from 2019 England who avg 45 and sr of 90+ with some striking at 100?. Even the likes of sotkes with 32 avg strike higher then 100 during the 2019 period?

Rizzu wouldn't survive one ball era in odi for obvious reasons.

The one ball era would have exposed alot of players tbh, Kohli in that era would be top 5 as well but he'd be below sachin and ponting due to that offstump weakness which is very hard to exploit in this era but super easy for mcgrath to feast on in that era.

But Kohli would still be top 5, just not top 1 like delusional Indians believe. Ponting, Viv, Sachin are aroll > him, i have kohli as 4th best odi batter of all time

Why would I answer who they should play now when I never advocated for rizwan being removed from tests?

I advocated his removal from odi and t20?
 
a lowish final innings score to chase does mean that there is always a chance of winning if even one player gets in but it just seems impossible against this Aussie attack in these conditions.

It will be a tantalising finish though and although it is extrmely unlikely a historic South African victory could still happen.

This guy quoted me as soon as Bavuma got out on 38 telling me how he failed and now he is saying Carey won them the WTC with a 43 run knock and will explain to me how strike rate matter in a 5 day test match and how that makes Careys knock better.


Also that 66 in WTC 23 came when Aus already had a near 400 lead lol
 
Hope SA can at least make the game interesting before their inevitable collapse and defeat.
