Pffft! Proteas can lose these World Cup games regardless of when they bat or how dewy it is.
We are struggling vs Afghanistan in a warm up game at the moment.
We need AB back!!
And Faf. Second most runs in IPL.

Not sure Bavuma to open is the way to go.

I have a feeling these games will all go to the team that bats second if it's an early start and the team that bats first if it's a late start. looks to get a bit damp at the start and end of the days.

Who do we fancy for the Cup?

Aus, India, NZ and Aus in the top tier for me. Then a step down to Pak,RSA,WI. Then the rest.

Any of the top 7 could take it. T20 fortunes often revolve around one player being white hot on the day. I have a feeling it could be NZ's turn.

Think England are a little better than that. Perhaps we could replace one of the Australias?

Yep thats what I meant. :thumbup: England are looking good but with Joffra Archer they would have been my favourite for the whole thing.

Yeah, our bowling's a weakness at the moment, though Tymal Mills might surprise a few people. Bats aren't in great nick either, would be nice for Morgan and Buttler to hit some proper form!

India have enormous pressure on them from their fans. What are the UAE pitches like? I imagine fairly dry so should suit their spinners.

Shamsi, Markram, Fortuin and Markram. Decent spin options so might suit us.

I had a stroke a couple of years back if that's any excuse and I often mix words up. But the answer is no. I usually go back and correct what I can.

You are a really quality poster which add a lot of value and which I have a lot of respect.

You are probably use to the Slaapstad Souties. They are spoiled rotten and do everything by the vokken dictionary.

Scotland lining ourselves up nicely to win two group games and still not get through to the next stage. That would be very typical of us.

Sharma going well for India. Proteas play Pak at 4pm. Its a good thing this. I had gotten used to mid-week rugby and this fills its place nicely.
