CnC that is a bit harsh on Donald, he took 5 for 32 in that match restricting Aus to 213, surely he did his job and the batsmen failed him as he should not have been needed with the bat.

176/7 with 6 overs left, now they can start to open up.

What is the current world rankings for the one day game Hoender ?

Hollywood Previews:
Tournament Winner
Group A Preview
Group B Preview

I'm personally looking at an India/Australia double on each to win their respective groups. Could get a nice price.

India in England Dev ? Methinks you and ur money would be parted....but have not looked at the groups as yet so reserve the right to change my mind

Hollywood must be having a laugh. Installing England as joint favourites????????

I understand that Duminy feels he has to bat through but surely even so a strike rate of under 50 is not good enough. :S

Well he tried to up the run rate and his innings ended . He did a good job after coming in under duress. 200 defendable but not an easy.Who are our bowlers ??

the bowlers are the ones that run up and throw it at the batsman. They tend to either bowl fast (150 kph) then you have others that just basically stand there a bowl slow. Thats called spin bowling. If you want I can go into depth and explain to you what variations you have in bowling but I think that will just confuse somebody who plays bowls.

M Morkel, Steyn, Tsotsobe, Phangiso, McLaren, Kleinveld, Peterson plus the part time bowlers like Du Plessis.

OK, found them...

AM Phangiso, DW Steyn, LL Tsotsobe, M Morkel plus Peterson and McClaren.....Morkel will concede a lot of runs so he better take early wickets, Dale Steyn...lets see who turns up :S

Madji can I get your baseball bat ready. <
