Champions Trophy

if ab and duminy can bat till 40th over then we win this game with an over or 2 to spare.

thats nag for SA

Its all turning into a bad joke for SA. Two under 12 run outs by international players(td)

As expected, kak bowling from tsotsobe and kleinveld,
Now batsman crumbling. We shudnt be surprised.

oh well I can always jump on the PS3 and win the Champions Cup playing with the side that I pick.

No BMT !! Bunch of Flowers !!

Agree

Neutral ground that should have suited SA better.

Too many short balls were bowled by SA. Definitely not the India of old.
Only Raina is suspect (as always) with the short ball.

Yes we bowled badly - did come back a bit in the last few to keep them under 350 - but still could have made the runs - turning point was the Peterson run out - very good fielding, but still a schoolboy error; the Miller run out was even worse, but in the context of the game maybe not as importaant as the Peterson one.

Still not all doom and gloom, hopefully Steyn will be available to replace Kleinveld (doubts about Morkel though so Kleinveld may play again ); Mclaren improving as an all-rounder, and perhaps the time has come to give de Kock the gloves and the opening slot ?

Frodo, Morris now De Kock, should we just make the entire Lions side Protea's.

And don't forget abt Hardus Viljoen <

But I do believe all 3 have big potential, and de Kock makes sense to me - would free up AB to bolster our fielding, and he has opened with success, so the sooner he gets international exposure, the better imo; however I think they may revert to Alviro for the Pakistan game. :S

I am also a big fan of Viljoen. De Kock IMO needs to mature first he gets himself in and then tosses his wicket away. He is also not a good enough gloveman and makes too many errors in the field. I feel he needs to play a liitle more domestic cricket and then be given another shot at serior level.

Why does it seem we get our strategy wrong EVERTIME we play these big tournaments...:S
