  • Outplayed and Outworked: The South Africa Series Review

    Outplayed and Outworked: The South Africa Series Review
    Nov 6 2026
    South Africa have won the series 2-1 and taken the No.1 Test ranking off Australia for the first time since 2016. Flem, Dizzy and Pidge pull apart the Cape Town Test and a series that got away from the Aussies. Dizzy is back from South Africa, so the three of them work through what went wrong at Newlands: Pat Cummins' call to bowl first, the Mitchell Starc spell that kept Australia in it, Simon Harmer's ten-wicket match, and a day-five chase that unravelled early. Then the bigger question: why can't Australia settle a batting order? The Nic Maddinson selection, fluid roles versus clear ones, Sam Konstas, and who should be in the top six when New Zealand arrive.
