The commentators keep talking about the Australia and India test match, I guess it's relevant for South Africa for the WTC final.

They should make it but they don't have a great record when it comes to finals, the Springboks have a much better finals record.
 
Nice to see Mohammad Abbas back...Remember him getting a 10 wicket haul against the Aussies in the UAE...Wonder why he's been on the outer for the last 3.5 years or so?

I guess the comfort they can take is that their best achievements as a cricket nation have come under major pressure as a test side: some big chases against Australia, series deciders against them, some big series wins against England when they were relatively strong etc.

They’re gonna have some real selection issues if they have all their bowlers fit. Not so much batting headaches from a selection perspective. I’d like to see them back themselves in a bit and just go for an all out assault if they had Burger and Nortje fit but I don’t think they would do that

They have been good in test series against Australia here to be fair, they aren't as good as they used to be but they have a crack.

They’re obviously a vastly different side now, just saying that maybe the ‘monkey on the back’ that is clearly there with the coloured clothes might not be as omnipresent in a test tournament because they have actually been world number one, had the mace, proven themselves under pressure in past generations etc

They still haven't held the mace as the world test champions even though they have been one of the best test teams in the world.

Little old New Zealand won the first one, despite not being one of the best test teams, we still beat India in a tense final to win it.

You have to bear in mind, when SA were one of the best test teams' in the world, the WTC didn't exist

Bavuma gone! Wowee. Doesn’t appear to have touched the bat at all. Didn’t review, so clearly even he thought he hit it.

South Africa still in the box seat but another quick one would make things very interesting
