Sounds like we are trying to give the Saffies a chance

A paragraph from the article I posted you might like and will fill you with confidence.

The left-arm spinner and left-hand bat played the most recent of his four Tests in September 2017 in Chattogram, while his only first-class cricket in the past 18 months has come via two matches in recent weeks, for a Prime Minister's XI against West Indies, and for Western Australia against Queensland. In those games he took combined figures of 3-212 across 78.4 overs, while his last five-wicket haul came against South Australia in October 2020.

They say in football that top teams are dragged down when they are playing ordinary teams, are we adding these to to give South Africa more of a chance? At least if they both play that the test may go into the fifth day.

Whoever they pick for the Sydney Test to replace Green and Mitchell STARc, prob needs to be who they want to tour India

Here is my pecking order of fast bowlers right NOW
Cummins
Starc
Hazelwood
Boland
Richardson
Morris
Neser

Ive got Richo in front of Lightning Lance Morris , as I think Richo has bowled well enough previously in Test cricket

Are there any other fasties Ive missed listing ?

Below all them would have to be Mark Steketee. 28 years old 229 first class wickets at 25 is a fair effort.

Perhaps Mark Steketee. Has taken 25 at 15.5 in the Sheffield Shield (used to be a comp that was played over summer in order to assess form and give opportunity for the test side). Probably benefits from having Nesser at the other end.

[DOC]

Great minds.

[Down the Hill]

Steketee - 235 FC wickets at 25.34 but his average over the last 2 to 3 shield seasons would be much lower. Not express but seems very durable and more suited to the sub-continent and even England than a couple on your list. Probably too similar to Boland to be considered for Sydney. But has to be in the mix for the trip to India considering he was in the squad that toured Pakistan earlier this year.

When you consider some of fast bowlers we were forced to bring in when covering for injuries during the fairly dominant McGrath, Gillespie, Lee era then I don't think fast bowling depth in Australia has ever been this good.

23 wickets in 6 matches in the shield this year, hard to ignore sadly.

Is it correct a win in the Sydney test guarantees Australia a spot in the World Test Championship Final.

[mighty_tiger_79]

I've done the Test predictor
Aus to play India.

I think it's correct Australia win in Sydney they play the final

Yes, I post this December 16th-

It's an important series for both teams in terms of qualifying for the WTC Final, on the Wisden Cricket Podcast it was explained that if Australia win 3-0 and then lose 4-0 to India in India they will still qualify make the final and if South Africa win 2 of the 3 matches against Australia then go in to beat the West Indies 2-0 they will qualify for the final.

The main concern in the media for South Africa is if they can make enough runs to defend.
