Kas Naidoo speaking about the commentary not being exciting - she should look at the retarded SABC commentators (herself included) first before speaking crap.

/on topic
I'm finally starting to like the way the team is set up, if we're going to go with an all-pace attack then this is about as good as it gets for us. Kemp and the spinner could be interchangeable for now, depending on conditions.
 
lol did u see the sign "Kevin WHO?" haha. Great performance today. Pity I had to be at campus and only got to listen to SA wiping the floor with the poms but anyway Smith batted brilliantly and same goes for Hall with the ball. Dropping Makhaya today was the best thing that the selectors couldve done. Nel + Langevelt FTW!!
 
Depends on the conditions.. but I don't see ntini playing either.
 
Well they play their semi at St. Lucia on a slower wicket, it would be retarded for them to bring Ntini back for that match. If they do then we'll be playing with 10 men again. I reckon keep the team as it is, or if they really have to change it then maybe Peterson in for Kemp.
 
Now to beat Mr Ponting & Co. :)

Good to see that there were Bulls supporters at the SA England game :D

so true :D .......y cant they just stay with the live broadcast from the west indies, id be much happier to listen to them than to kas etc....:sick: ........i think nasser hussain is a good commentator....unlike most of the sabc ones which just repeat things we already know and take calls with people saying the exact same thing

if they change the team now im going to pissed offf

vaughn is an idiot, wy did he bat first?

no kemp must stay for the aussies

peterson is not that good anyhow

leave the team as is!!!!!!!!!!! we always freakin changing a good formula
 
Watching the english commentary after the win and commentators atherton, hussein and co. are calling for heads to roll, they are being brutal and getting straight to the point, man they are angry

I think this was the banner in the SA camp on telly.

Howzit Man
No Kevin
No Cry
No Makahya
No Braai
 
whats also reaalllly irritating is how sabc puts adverts inbetween eg overs........sometimes just before a interesting highlight/replay is about to be shown they put a advert on :sick:
 
You only possible change is Kemp for Petersen but it would be redundant as Hall + Kallis + Langeveldt + Polly + Smith + Nell = gives 6 bowlers and since petersen has never really done something amazing I doubt he will play. Also his inclusion makes the batting order shorter and while Kemp has not performed since last yr? possibly, it gives ye some options. Interestingly we will have 2 true bowlers in the team with ALOT of all rounders.. typical SA team
 
Nasser Hussain a good commentator? Well maybe I just need time to get used to him. Barry Richards also irritates me, the way he moves his hands at a toss and when they show him commentating, eish! We get milked with TV licenses so how can SABC NOT be able to afford sticking with the live feed ALL the time like suggested above.
 
krycor think about this man coming into the world we where on top of the world

then when we played the lower team we mostly batted second, no one got to bat alot which is stupid smiith should have let us bat against the small guys first

as for kemp give the guy a break how much batting has he had in this world cup?

kemp is a match winner and to leave him out is crazy

peterson for kemp what a joke, peterson doesnt bowl better and cannot bat nearly as well so why include him?
 
Exactly.. i don't think the the variation/spin is gonna give much of a advantage and with the aussies, I think the safer option is with an extra capable batsman.

But thing worrying is altho sure they have not been given much opportunities to bat, the 3 times they were given it, the lower order failed.. and not just one but all 3 which kinda sucks. hopefully they come good/are not needed in next game.
