Cricket: WTC Final Oz vs SA

sparky

Not sure they will bother with the lunch break.

sparky

Appeal for a catch?

sparky

Not out. It bounced.

LBW shout against Markram. Not given. Australia can't review.

NTA

Umpires call anyway

South Africa about to relieve years of futility and failure

NTA

I seem to remember looking up who each team played in this WTC cycle.

Proteas didn't have more than 1 test series that was 3 matches and maybe only played India during that time of the big 3?

I could be misremembering but it says a lot about what they've been able to do here.

sparky

New ball. 14 runs needed.

sparky

Hazelwood thumped for 4.

South African fans can crack open the beers.

sparky

6 to win. Markram on strike. Will he go for it?

sparky

Travis Head takes a catch at midwicket. Markram out.

NTA

Good catch.

sparky

136 in the circumstances was one hell of a knock by Markram. He should be Man of the Match.

sparky

Rabada with nine wickets in the match. He made sure that none of the Australian batsmen could get away.

NTA

What if we get five wickets now and it is a tie?

canefan

Goes for a ramp shot for the win. Hit glove, no reviews remaining. Bloody T20

NTA

That's that. Well done them.

Hopefully a few lessons for us

Congratulations to them!

Have the Aussie team left the field?

Edit: there they are. Nothing worse than the second place medal
