She needs to earn a recall.
Will take a long time.

I don't agree. Class is permanent. She is good enough to be there. if you are serious about wining a WC you need your best players.

So who are you leaving out ? I can't see any in the top order (top 5 or so) staying home

I don't know the team well enough to know who to leave out. But surely among the reserves there must have been a place for her.

Nothing's permanent.
The best players lose their way.
And the only way they come back is to play themselves back.

Probably seeing all the dollars on offer and wants in.
Testing her out will be for her own good.
A failure at the WC will be catastrophic for her career.

Easy sune. Terrible form for quite some time. Plus Dane is the better bowler by some distance.

Ja, I did mention Sune being the most likely one, but I don't see that happening (soon)

That's cause no one gets dropped from the ladies team. Once in the club you hardly ever lose your spot. Else Jaffa and sune would have been dropped atleast a year ago.

Yeah they are going to cruise to another 50 world cup next month.

[stefan9]

Argh Jajta and Luus still in the starting 11...

 

[stefan9]

Not getting much in terms of wickets. 160/2 after 30.2

 

[stefan9]

Well placed 158/2. Brits 70 and kapp 55. Need 97 more

 

[Agent_Smith]

That was a proper shellacking. Chased down with consummate ease. Brits showing her class and Kappie proving how valuable she still is at the ripe old age of 35.

 

[Creag]

GG Proteas. I was a little worried when the Pakistan ladies shook off their early wicket loss. SA kept the run-rate in check. The chase by Kapp and Brits was well-timed.

 

[stefan9]

Well done ladies. Good win.
I still don't like this lineup with our tail starting at nr 7.

 

[Luke7777]

Well done ladies. Good win.
I still don't like this lineup with our tail starting at nr 7.

Chloe and Nadine's inclusion will sort that out (For Smit and Shangase, pushing Jafta to 8)

 

[Werner1975]

Good win!!

 

[Creag]

Pak chose to field. Khaka, Jafta, Mlaba. and Sune out for Nadine, Meso, Klaas and Chloe. 58/0 after 10
