Whitewash. There is no way our batsmen can stand up to any of that bowling attack save abbot. Especially as none of the guys who were successful against Australia at Brisbane are in the squad(Da Silva, McKenzie, Hodge, Sinclair). Shamar and Seales will take wickets because they are both excellent bowlers but the batsmen are going to be demolished

Fresh from the comprehensive beaten by Sout Africa, they will be coming for annihilation.

Not much of a change...this looks like the same XI that played in the WTC final.

That’s an aging and tired Ozzie squad.The West Indies have a chance.

Someone please bookmark this bold statement.

Are you even suggesting that the WI squad that has been gifted places even compare on a dark night to the South African team? Don't make joke this beautiful Sunday. We do not have one batsman that will handle Lyons much less the quicks.

I believe it was an important and healthy first class season. We’re playing at home however we also need to have plenty of support from spectators. These Ozzies are an old and tired unit.
It can be done.
4 Saffies took out that Ozzie team.

The RSA team prepared well. Excellent mental and physical work done behind the scenes.
There are reasons to be optimistic.
