If we going to play Levi, I would drop ontong and not Faf. I think it will give us better batting depth and crucially, I feel that Faf is a better player of spin bowling.

That's the logical option, but the team would be too "white" if they do that.

Amla, Duminy and Peterson are there... that's plenty

I yearn for the day when everything in SA will be done on merit

Damnit, if it comes down to the last couple of overs I am going to miss it due to me being on a plane.

How does a novice get an app to watch live scores on my S3 ? Which is best ? Which is easiest to download ?
Thanks all

ps. Don't really need it today

The ESPN Cric info app is great for all cricket.

^this, it's an awesome app.

I prefer CricBuzz

Don't we all. Unfortunately merit is relative because some still look at your melanin content as a determinant of competence at anything.

South Africa v Zimbabwe

6.45pm Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth match of this World T20, an African derby in Hambantota, South Africa against Zimbabwe, with the Proteas having a chance to send their neighbours home tonight. South Africa will also be hoping to begin their campaign with a strong performance, they are the favourites for this tournament and have all the tools to win it. Firdose Moonda has provided the in-depth look at this match.

6.55pm We have had some rain earlier on around Hambantota, a very heavy shower for only about 15-20 minutes but that has cooled the atmosphere.

We need the weather to hold for the game. I understand there is no additional day if it gets washed out.

Many thanks ... will appreciate it

We're bowling first.

7pm Now time for the toss...AB de Villiers sends up the coin, Brendan Taylor calls heads, it lands a tail and South Africa will bowl first Albie Morkel plays for them. Zimbabwe would also have bowled first.

Good news

Edit: he definitey brings greater balance to the team.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Here are the teams then... South Africa Levi, Amla, Kallis, de Villiers, Duminy, Farhaan Behardien, Albie Morkel, Peterson, Parnell, Steyn, Morne

WTF! Again????

WTF! Again????

It's only Zim. They can always drop him for the next game if he fails to perform against the likes of Zim.

If Zim causes an upset and Parnell is at fault (again) then I'm going to spit! If anything, we should be getting our combinations right for the rest of the tournament, and this would be the best match to try that. Parnell is a proven failure.

South Africa team
RE Levi, HM Amla, JH Kallis, AB de Villiers*†, JP Duminy, F Behardien, JA Morkel, RJ Peterson, J Botha, DW Steyn, M Morkel

No Parnell in this team

 

[AthenianOwl]

I hope Zim will win this match. Because that's the only way to get rid of Parnell.

EDIT: NVM! I WANT SA TO WIN!!! GO! GO! GO! VIVA MANDLA!!!

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

No Parnell in this team

Seems like they've changed it then. Hope it stays this way throughout the tournament. Good to see Behardien given a go, although I hope that he won't have to bat.
