SA needs find a proper leg psinner. This Peter is mediocre.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan must open with Travis Head

@KingOfPakBreakfast believes Rizwan's batting is build for dynamic line ups

@Ice Man

1) Head
2) Owen
3) Marsh
4) Inglis
5) Green
6) Tim David
7) Glenn Maxwell

^^ Australia suffles their order 24/7 even sometimes bringing maxwell to open? So why doesnt marsh slot down to no 3? And everyone else suffles depending on situation?

Why is Owen at no 7?

Unfortunately, Marsh and Head are locked in as our openers. I, personally would prefer Owen as an opener and Marsh to be dropped.

Just remember bro, Rizwan > Carey. Words of @jeeteshssaxena and Van goh

Owen isnt a no 7. He struggles with the old ball.

He enjoys when the ball is hard and theirs seam and swing on offer

 

[Hellion]

Australia will struggle on pitches with something for the bowlers.

Tullaybaaz lineup.

They should hire Espn employees from Connecticut which is in India to aid them.

 

[Ice Man]

Served up the putrid trifecta tonight.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is showing minnow teams how to do it. Lot of youngsters. Mapaka, Brevis, Pretorious, Peter.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great game.

Brevis was brilliant. Reminded me of David Warner's debut T20 innings.

Utter Domination

 

[Hellion]

The reason I always win and get into your heads is because I don't care about drama. I dont take anything seriously.

When Aus loses, idc, when england loidc, when india loses idc, when Pakistan loses idc.

When india loses though Oh ho ho. Tamasha, Drama, Wwe Scripts, heel turns that light up the connecticut crowd.

Sure. You don't care. You just post endlessly and reply to a post twice for no rhyme or reason

 

[mominsaigol]

Sure. You don't care. You just post endlessly and reply to a post twice for no rhyme or reason

Just let it go mate. Like I said drop the ego and admit to your sins and all will be forgiven.

Let's put Espn back into connecticut and PP back into Pakistan and you back into India

 

[Mamoon]

Guys like @Mamoon deserve this humiliation

Look at the way the world is playing and look at how he is advocating for Pakistan to play an outdated brand with rubbish white ball players!

Only humiliation is for people like you who were doing cartwheels over the so-called newfound "aggression" and "intent" of Pakistan in T20Is post Babar & Rizwan, only for them to get brutally exposed in BD in WI.

Pakistan do not have talents like Brevis. Saim is probably the only player who can be aggressive and also consistent and he is part of the team already. You can make a case for H. Nawaz as well, but he needs to play more. Rest are either rubbish hacks like Haris or are even slower than Babar and Rizwan, such as Fakhar (as a top 3 batsman) and Agha.

Your playing style is dictated by the players that you have at your disposal, and Pakistan do not have the talent to be an ultra-aggressive yet consistent T20I team. It is just the delusion of people like you.

Pakistan did decently with its methodology. They made the SF and Final of the 2021 and 2022 World Cups.

Good to see overhyped tullebaaz team smashed by South Africa. Well done baby AB

 

[Ab Fan]

Great to see Baby AB humiliating the Australians.

Great to see Baby AB humiliating the Australians.

Well, I am sure his primary employer CSK are ecstatic. They did not waste their $$$.

 

[sweep_shot]

Brevis showed his capabilities in U-19 World Cup. He is finally starting to cut loose in senior's cricket. Great to see.

I really believe Brevis can be one of the upcoming Fab Fours.

Our current u19 team have many good prospects. They have been beating the SA u19 as well. Problem is BCB doesn't know how to turn some of them into world class.

Brevis + Stubbs + Klassen + Miller looks a very strong T20 team.

Klaasen has retired from international cricket I believe.

 

[Ball Blazer]

yes he has...

Klaasen has retired from international cricket I believe.

 

[sweep_shot]

yes he has...

It is a shame he retired so early.

Anyway, South Africa always have great hitters. They should be okay.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

What I don't understand is how Donovan Ferreira doesn't fit into this T20 team, but van der Dussen does?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

People are seriously downplaying how good this Australian side really is because of one bad performance. Brevis played an incredible knock the other day, but this Australian side with Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood is still one of the best and most complete T20 sides in the world.

It is T20. Any team can beat team given the conditions.

IN the last 12 months

Australia batting is the best team against pace bowling

Second best against spin bowling

 

[sweep_shot]

Do you think he is a product of IPL? He is not.

He is a product of South African cricket. He played like this in U-19 World Cup also.

I knew about his capability even before he joined IPL. I saw him in U-19 World Cup.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Why is there a 4-day gap between 2 T20 games....LOL

Owen on ice as concussion, injuries force Aussie changes

Matt Short and Lance Morris both ruled out of the white-ball series with injuries while rising star Mitch Owen is in concussion protocols

Mitch Owen's potential ODI debut will have to wait with the rising star ruled out of the remainer of the white-ball series against South Africa with concussion.

Owen was struck during the second BKT Tyres T20 in Darwin after top-edging a Kagiso Rabada delivery into his helmet's grille from the second ball he faced.

The Tasmanian passed the on-field assessment but after he was dismissed, bowled by Kwena Maphaka for eight, he presented delayed symptoms of concussion.

As per Cricket Australia's concussion protocols, Owen will now have to sit out for a minimum of 12 days.

It means Owen will miss the deciding T20I in Cairns on Saturday and the subsequent three-match ODI series against the Proteas.

Matt Short and Lance Morris have also been ruled out of the ODI series and will instead focus on getting prepared for the start of the domestic summer.

Short was picked in both squads to face South Africa but a side injury that he picked up while training in the West Indies hasn't recovered as quickly as the medical staff had hoped.

It's been a frustrating period for the Victorian who missed the Champions Trophy semi-final in March with a quad injury and missed all five T20Is against West Indies with the side complaint.

Morris meanwhile was picked solely in the ODI squad for this winter series and looked primed to play his first international since November last year.

The WA quick had been with the Aussie camp in Darwin but he "reported lower back soreness and has returned to Perth for further investigation and assessment" according to a CA spokesperson.

Coming into the ODI squad are Matthew Kuhnemann and Aaron Hardie, both of whom are already with the team from the T20 leg.

Australia's most in-form batter Tim David, whose past four T20I innings have yielded scores of 102no, 30, 83 and 50, has not been added to the one-day squad.

Although not initially selected, Hardie was brought in as cover for Short in Darwin when it appeared the Adelaide Strikers captain was unlikely to be right for the first two matches.

Kuhnemann's most recent ODI came in June 2022 during Australia's tour to Sri Lanka while Hardie was in this year's Champions Trophy squad but didn't feature.

Wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, who missed the second T20 with "flu-like symptoms", will remain with the squad.

The Aussies will also welcome back Queenslanders Xavier Bartlett and Marnus Labuschagne for the 50-over portion of the series.
