Amla turning up the heat

4.4
Rankin to Amla, OUT, and now he is gone, Amla goes for the upper cut, something he had attempted two deliveries earlier, but too much of a thick outside edge this one as he connects from outside off stump, the ball swirls quickly wide of third man where young Dockrell dives to his left and pulls off the stunner
HM Amla c Dockrell b Rankin 18 (17b 1x4 1x6) SR: 105.88
4.3
Rankin to Amla, SIX, another short of a length delivery, this time Amla latches on to it instantly, jeez, that was not short enough, but he just lifted it over deep midwicket for maximum, now that's timing, and making the most of your form
4.2
Rankin to Amla, no run, steepling bounce from Rankin, there was a lot of width outside off stump, but even as Amla stood on his toes to cut it over point, he was beaten by the bounce
4.1
Rankin to Amla, FOUR, 140.2 kph and full outside off stump, Amla does not need any more invitation, gets forward and sends it in the gap at covers for a boundary

Already a that of rain, we could do with the 2 points on offer from this game :(

Well, I checked and there's no rain forecasted so we should be all right.

If we finish either first or second in our group, who are we most likely to play in the quarters?

Difficult to say. We'll only really know when all the games from group A are done. I'd guess and say either Pakistan or Sri Lanka, but it could easily be Australia or New Zealand as well.
 
Yeah van Wyk's going well. He shouldn't be playing in the lower order, and Ingram shouldn't be playing in the top order. They've had it mixed up all this time, so it's good to finally see some change.
 
Smith has faced 4 balls in the last 4 overs, it's all van Wyk at the moment ... and he's certainly taking his chances with 2 drop catches :)

yeah, It's great. what it also does is push AB down to 5 and duminy to 6. this gives our middle order more stability.

Smith Run OUT

This batting line up definitely makes more sense ;)
 
Our selectors should be rocket scientists. Morne has always been batting high up for his franchise. It defies logic for him to be batting down the order.
