CRICKET SA vs England

[sox63]

Who will captain? Boucher?

I would assume the deputy would, whoever that is. I think it is Boucher.

 

[AirWolf]

Poor guy, if he has a bad day the whole team seems to follow...
I want to protest for Amla to join the ODI team!!
Who with me?

Amla++;


This guy dominates the domestic series and doesn't get a chance in the internationals

 

[sox63]

I think it depends in which spot they would bat him, and then you would have to look at who is gonna be dropped. I'm not sure where he bats for the Dolphins though, anyone care to shed some light for me?

 

[hoegh]

mmm 10 to one... kallis doesn't want it.

There is also a slight chance it might be AB

in the back of my mind i had this feeling it might be, but the question you have to ask yourself is why him?

He averages 27 in one day cricket, not very good

One of the worst performance I have ever seen from our boys and I have seen some bad ones.

Last i recall Kallis is the deputy.

And our highest score yesterday was 13 from Nel.

After being dropped for the 20-20 WC I think Kallis resigned the vice captaincy. Prince is the vice captain for the Tests, not sure who the ODI VC is.

 

[Boodles]

Biffy out in the next ODI

Was just one game.

We've kicked Englands butts so many times in ODI's, we can grant them this.

Well said

Smith is out until December I think But definately no further part in this series.

Thats true, but they never managed an 83 all out and 10 wicket whipping.

Yes, Smith felt sorry and threw the match (allegedly).

Thats true, but they never managed an 83 all out and 10 wicket whipping.

That's tragic. I wonder what England's worst totals are in ODI?

 

[silkman]

amla in for smith...i hope he does well then long term prospects look lekker for a smith/amla opening partnership. Gibbs not gonna last long

 

[sox63]

Okay, looking forward to tomorrow. The coach must do something drastic for the game, like giving Gibbs a joint before the game, and let him do what he does when he is high.

Hey, worked great the last time.

We have granted them 3 games in a row. Time for the boys to get back to playing winning cricket.

Well, for me this particular one day series is meaningless. Even if we lose 0 - 5.
I'll forget about about it in a month, the test series I'll remember for a long long time.

The only time England beat us in a meaningful ODI was back in 1992.
Otherwise we just kick their asses, like last time it was 4 - 1.
Was also a 6 -1 back in 1996 I think.

 

[hoegh]

Kallis is the captain in place of bif, maybe he'll stay awake in the field now

For me each series is important.

ODI's are separate from the test series and should be treated with respect. Yeah we won the test series but after winning the test the seal the series we have been very poor. The performance in the last test was poor and it hasn't improved in the first 2 odi's.

Had we won this odi series we would be number 1 in the odi series. England is a poor odi side as the west indies and new zealand has shown in the past few years by beating them on home turf. I am very unhappy with our current performance I see it as a total lack of professionalism.
