Wouldn't mind Tim David debuting in that ODI series.
All I want is for Cameron Green to play in the middle order (3-5) in the 6 ODIs before the WC.

Another whitewash coming, I don’t know why, but Australia just doesn’t win here.

Finally we get our T20I skipper before Sept but still these T20Is are so meaningless. I hope they make slow and low pitches to prepare for India for both the teams. #savaus

Very few people know that this Series was originally to be a 3-Match Test Series between SA & AUS which was to be played for the cancelled series in Feb 2021 due to Covid
AdvertisementBut SA converted it to a Whiteball Series considering Odi Wc in mind https://t.co/WtMd2kiTUF
