Mate , Tullebaaz players are truly exposed at home . Well-done South Africa and congratulations for series win.

South Africa cricket is on the rise and I'm so happy for them that they are producing quality player's while Australia is only producing garbage players aka tullebaaz .

Did you know Aus hates Pakistan and windies cricket. That's why they make an active effort to ban such matches.

But only in Sydney, not in Perth. How convenient :vk2.

Whats funny is that i watched the entire CT in Sydney residing at my home in Bankstown. Sports central YT channel was live streaming the whole event yet Vikram was claiming it was banned in Aus 🤣🤣🤣.

Sports central was even broadcasting Pakistan vs nz vs sa tri series and I was in Sydney at that time yet the same complaints.

I guess I lived in bankstown and he was living in Sydney Dhaka :vk2

Even red fern was broadcasting sports central YT 🤣🤣

I've never been to Perth, only Sydney, Gold coast, Melbourne and Brisbane but I lived in Sydney for 2 years full time and 3 years part time on and off. So 5 years total.

Ik Sydney like the back of my hand, bankstown, georg street for delicious 5 guys, redfern, quay you name it.

Not once were their any issues with broadcasting Pakistani games.

Pakistan vs England test series, Ct 2025, Pak vs NZ vs SA, pak vs Bangladesh, Pak vs Aus, WC 2024 and many other events I live streamed from Sydney.

No channel blocked it and these were all legal channels, not pirated sites. I fact they weren't just legal channels they sports central YouTube and willow.

This pak vs wi ban was nonsense.

I don't know if he lives in Sydney or not. Their alot of chinese expats in Sydney that don't know a damn thing in Aus and simply go and invade tiktok offices becoming wannabee employees/interns lol. So he might live in Sydney.

But he once accused me that I didnt live their because of the whole ielts drama. When I caught him lying about the 2 months claim which I never said he changed topics.

Bro doesn't realise Gmat, Gre, Ielts academic (all requirements for PHD applications in Canada, Germany etc etc) are important and aren't tied to citizenship.

Ielts general is not ielts academic lol 🤣. Ielts academic is for uni, general is for immigration.

Where did i say i was taking general 🤣?

I got 8.5 in academic total bandwidth. Lol a majority of these guys are setting new records and getting bandwidth 0 :vk2

If SA got rid of their choke nature in odi or t20 cups, they'd be the world's best side.

These boys gell well. In tests they don't typically choke though

Agree.

They could've won quite a few ICC trophies if not for choking. They could've won 1999 WC, 2002 CT, 2024 World T20, and 2009 World T20 (they were the dominant side).
 
Australia is batting like Pakistan at the moment! Have lost the first two games by huge margins of 98 and 84 runs respectively

Only a couple of batsmen are performing in every game.

You would expect them to chase down totals of 296 and 277, or at least get very close in home conditions.
 
Just watched the H/L

South Africa dropped 3 or 4 catches but still won comfortably in the end

Don't agree with this. Saffers were never the strongest side, even man for man, in any of those tournaments.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it, matey. How can anyone who claims to live in Australia not have basic knowledge of the inner workings of Australia itself?

I mean, he said we aren't playing on the main grounds over here atm during winter season because we are protecting the pitches for the Ashes. I literally spat out my coffee laughing hard at that gem. 😂😂😂

I don't think we need to call in Sherlock Holmes on this one. 😂😂😂

Even if I didn't live in Sydney for 5 years and knew nothing about other aussie sports such as AFL, making such a claim "We aren't playing on the main grounds over here due to winter season" has to be the most outlandish claim ive ever heard."

What does winter season have anything to Pitches 🤣🤣. Excluding some areas like snowy mountains where its smows and its freezing in aus, aus isnt that cold compared to canda, russia or other countries , how does cold air + certain matches being played during that particular time have anything to do with damaging pitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Aussie pitches have been played on back to back for 100+ years with no signs of any damage regardless of weather.

Even on the days where it pours the drainage system + pitch curators take care of it and the pitch is back to 100%?

So what does winter season + playing have anything to do with protection? Are we playing in Antarctica?
 
South Africa have dominated Australia in ODI cricket over the past decade, winning all five of their last bilateral series. They famously whitewashed Australia 5-0 at home in 2016 and followed it with a 2-1 away victory in 2018. The dominance continued with another clean sweep (3-0) in 2020, a 3-2 win in 2023, and now a 2-0 lead in the ongoing 2025 series in Australia. The Proteas have not lost an ODI series to Australia in ten years.
 
SA although lost a close semi final to Australia in 2023 , has been a better side between the two. Now that they have won an ICC event that too against Australia in the final they will do better against Australia in the ICC events as well. They have lost the choker tag.

Their is 0 proof they lost the choker tag. When were they chokers in test cricket?
 
Australia vs South Africa, 3rd ODI:
Australia won the toss and opted to bat

Teams:

South Africa (Playing XI): Ryan Rickelton(w), Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma(c), Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Wiaan Mulder, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Senuran Muthusamy, Kwena Maphaka

Australia (Playing XI): Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis(w), Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Xavier Bartlett, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa
 
The pressure is off now that the series has already been decided so they can relax and have some fun. Hopefully, we end up with a high scoring thriller.

I don't think so. Can't really equate an one off WTC match with ODI knockout match especially during World Cup. Come WC time Aus team will look completely different and they will still smash choker team like RSA.
 
Dead rubber and South Africa is not playing burger ,lungi etc forget about Rabada .

No wonder tullebaaz is performing today.

:klopp :kp
 
This bowling attack has no Rabada/Coetzee/Nortje/Jansen/Ngidi.

Kwena and Bosch are 6th and 7th choice bowlers tbh. It's as weak as it gets.

No Breetzke in the batting lineup either.

I back SA to beat them next time if they meet. Australia's bench strength is the poorest among SENA teams.

They are quite poor with awful bench.none of the new comers in any format worth a place in other top teams. I think only Webster(31) is reasonable till now.rest are atrocious. Even cricinfo mentioned next few years will be quite tough for Aussies as this may be a long transition period.Some one mentioned in cricinfo too that nz, india, sa, eng youngsters are where aus players are expected to be.

Labu is still playing ODI shockingly lol.

As long as they can pay their first XI it doesn't matter.

Even in 2023, they looked a different side when Travis Head came back.
Click to expand...
Almost 2 years now.few of them like starc, labu, Lyon ( in test ) etc regressed. Few retired in odis and t20s .not sure when Hazlewood will retire as he was hell bent on playing ipl till wtc finals.They have to make sure transition is not long as there is a tournament every year.wtc , ashes, bgt, odi wc, t20wc does not make life easier now.

Man I was tired today and I slept like a baby, I missed my papa's brutal 100.

Lol maybe when I dont make a prediction Australia performs :vk2

Although tbf this bowling attack is as bad as the one rizzu and Agha scorecard centuries against.

Still this was necessary for head to perform.

I admire your dedication to PP. Woke up at 2am at night to battle me, and while I slept at 2am and woke up just now, here you are battling at 8am 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
 
@Ice Man wanna know what's funny? I saw vikram commenting at 11am, 12am, 1am, 2am, Sydney time and then comment at 6am and 7am Sydney time 🤣🤣. Even took ss of the time frames.

What dedication. I could never avoid sacrificing my 8-10 hours of sleep :virat
 
Green more talented then head, marsh and easily the best young talent tbf.

50 ball 100 round about. Goat player
 
Starc is probably going to retire from ODIs this year after the ODIs vs India.

Hazlewood might follow suit cause he would be 36+ in 2027 odi world cup.

Maxwell and Smith have already retired, Stoinis is gone too.

Australia is going to have a bad phase in LOIs for next two years.

The 4 semifinalists in the 2027 World Cup are going to be from amongst India + SENA .

Australia can easily break into the semis and then it's about 2 good days.

They won't struggle at all.

There's just no competition considering the other teams like PAK, SL, WI , AFG won't offer any significant threat.
 
This is something people should learn. 431 is never easy regardless of the pitch.

Its normally impossible. That sa vs Aus 434 was a once in a life time event
