Rahul Patil: South Africa Breaks its Hoodo, as Australia Falls Apart in cricket's World Test Championship Final

In this lively post-Test Championship debrief, DSPN host Martin Devlin welcomes cricket expert Rahul Patil onto the podcast, as they dissect South Africa's five-wicket win in the final at Lord's. Marty and Rahul revel in the Proteas' fairytale triumph, making gleeful digs at the Aussies' win-at-all-costs attitude. Rahul shines a light on South Africa’s emotional journey - from heartbreaks past to ultimate redemption. The pair unpack Aiden Markram’s monk-like composure, Temba Bavuma’s leadership, and why the win meant so much. They also lament poor batting techniques shaped by Twenty20 cricket and question the scheduling of the WTC Final straight after the IPL. With the Ashes looming and Australia ageing, Marty and Rahul also wonder - has the Aussie aura finally cracked?   Website: rova.nz/podcasts/dspn-devlin-sports-podcast-network Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork Learn more about your ad choices.
