South Africa Bury The Demons, Beat Australia,Win World Test Championship

South Africa Beat Australia

The Ultimate Test

It was an amazing Test Match, phenomenal performances, an incredible fightback, and an exceptional victory for South Africa, their very first World Title. Chasing an extremely stiff target of 282 under the prevailing conditions, the Springboks put up a sensational chase led by the unbelievable Aiden Markram, whose innings will go down as one of the finest innings played at Lord’s.

South Africa – The Chokers Bury The Demons

The chokers laid their demons to rest. Their umpteenth heartbreaks were set aside by a self-believing, belligerent, and brave bunch of players. After featuring in 2 Quarter-Finals, 12 Semi-Finals, and 2 Finals in all ICC Competitions, South Africa eventually won their maiden title with 5 wickets after a historic chase.

Incredible Markram

Kagiso Rabada bowled like a Champion, probing away with his immaculate line and length, picking 9 wickets in the match. He was ably supported by Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi, who did not let their team down. Temba Bavuma and David Bedingham were good too, but Aiden Markram etched his name in history books by playing a knock that was nothing short of majestic. It was filled with exceptional technique and unmatched temperament. An innings worth going miles to see. His 136 of 207 balls laced with 14 fours will be weighed in gold.

Australians Hard Done By Their Own

Australians tried hard, gave everything to be honest, and once even looked to be winning the contest, but they fell short when it mattered. South Africa just edging them at the brink. The Australian batting was a big letdown and would require serious corrections to take Australian Test Cricket forward. An ageing bowling line-up too, will be a worry.  Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne need to be replaced with some fresh blood. They have had a long rope already. Steve Smith and Alex Carey are in their final strides, and so are Mitch Starc and Nathan Lyon. A lot to ponder for Australia going forward, particularly with the Ashes approaching.

South Africa, The Historic Winners

At the end of the Ultimate Test, the ultimate result. A major philip for South African Cricket.

Kudos South Africa!!
