What an extraordinary performance by a Test team that has lost so many players to the T20 circus from a country which has such poor cricket administration to make the World Championship final! The ICC will desperate for India to be their opponent so someone will watch the event…. Much will depend on the outcome of the Aus v India final day in Melbourne.

I think South Africa have a golden chance to have a shot at an ICC trophy after long but I think they would much rather prefer playing against India than Australia.

Australia have been a bogey team for them at Knockout stage of ICC tournaments (1999 and 2023 CWC SF)

But, I would love to have a full strength SA squad and the selection headache for Shukri Conrad and Temba Bavuma especially in the bowling department

Manners, I would like to know your playing XI for Lord's ?

I think what really grates the detractors (so many are South Africans too🙄) is that the team can admit it's not the best cricket, it's scrappy sometimes but they always find a way and they deserve to be proud of finding that way and we should support the heck out of them even more because of their fighting spirit.

Lord's is still so far away. My wish is that they can go into a bubble and keep all the noise out because any team can be beaten on the day and if our team clicks it will be a beautiful, marvelous thing.🏏
