Can South Africa defend 117 runs!!! Australia vs South Africa 1994 Sydney 4th innings Run Chase Allan Donald and Fanie de Villiers bowled one of their career best spells to stop the Aussie getting past a very low total like 117 Allan Donald picked 7 in the match Fanie picked 10 in the match

Callum Dreyer made his intentions clear from the quarter-finals, beating Czechia’s Ondrej Zizka and clocking the second-fastest time across all quarter-finals (2:24.52). He carried that momentum into the semi-final, defeating Italy’s Amad Moor in 2:29.35 to secure his place in the final. And what a final it was! Callum went on to claim GOLD, beating Spain’s Diego Molina Martinez by an incredible 22.74 seconds in a time of 2:15.65🥇 An outstanding performance from start to finish. Congratulations, Callum 🇿🇦 #ForMyCountry #YOG #Dakar2026 #TeamSouthAfrica

We're totally buying Mitchell Starc as Jansen's prime example of Australia's aura 😮‍💨

The comedians are back to backtrack on their earlier Simon Harmer slander. The classy Moises, meanwhile, knew all along.

If you want a laugh, listen to this nonsense spewed by MacGill and O’Keefe on Simon Harmer following SA’s second Test win at St George’s Park.

You can spend all your life watching this, the trajectory, the dip, the turn and the bat going across trying to make some contact, Dream for any off spinner. Pure Magic 👌🏼 nitter.cf/Chris_gayle90/status/2…

If this test series vs Oz wasnt enough to state an unequivocable case of more Tests and less hit and giggle, then we are lost as a sporting nation. Absolute drama from start to finish. Nothing quite like it. We need more Tests. Break the big three monopoly.

A few points before I consume my weight in beer: 1. Shukri is the best coach on the world. 2. Bavuma is the best captain in the world. 3. Rabada is the best quickie in the world. 4. Jansen is the best all-rounder in the world. 5. Harmer is the best spinner in the world. 6. Newlands is the best stadium in the world. Kind regards, Dan Cricket

we got two black captains shoving it back down people's throats 💪🏻 but while Siya have a bit more high spirits to him, Temba strike me as someone who got less time for your k*k.

Test cricket at its finest. What a series. Small rant - back in the day you could go to a test post tea for a reduced rate. Yesterday people were being charged R300 at 430pm to enter. Tests during the week and now making it hard for people to come watch. Surely not@TicketProSA

End of day 4: Australia need 288 to win series. SA need 10 wickets. Some Australian is going to have to bat forever and a day. Can’t see it happening. SA to win has been my call since the toss. Tomorrow it’s duck or no dinner! 11/10 🇿🇦 15/10 🇦🇺 5/1 draw
