Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Finally, the best moment in the history of South Africa. They got the title of World Test Champions under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma and man, they deserved it. Aiden Markram could not finished not out, but still 136 from this was the main reason for this SA win. He is the Player Of the Match too.
After a decade, we finally have Team South Africa as the winner of the Major ICC trophy. Last time back in 1998 they won the ICC Champions Trophy and then went so close most of the times in other finals / Semi final games but cannot win the title as we have the best example of the previous year 2024 29th June, when India and South Africa were playing final against each other and South Africa needed 30 off 30 and still they lost the game. Such bad luck but now finally their current players has experienced the winning of the WTC. The joy will last for a long time after this win.
Yes, it has created a new history, South Africa has won their trophy after many decades. We have seen the South African team play in the semi-finals and finals many times but their luck was not on their side due to which they lost many times. However, since in this final match they defeated a team like Australia and became champions, it is their joy and it was the best. Temba Bavuma has led South Africa brilliantly, he is an amazing captain and his batting performance was amazing, he has brought the team victory and made them champions. Moreover, Aiden Markram is such a great batsman, he cannot be forgotten, he came at the last moment and won the trophy for the team. Aiden Markram has succeeded in achieving a great achievement at his old age, of course it is a big achievement for him, besides it is a joy for the South African team, I congratulate the team.
