Well QdK is one. He is just out of form. Didn't rotate strike at all. The selectors took the risk to pick him while injured and he only had a couple of knocks since, so he'll take time

So we can blame them? How do you mess up so big every four years? Can't work out why no duminy.

Big match temperament, that's why we lose. With the exception of this squad, we've always sent over good squads on the past

Recurrence? So him and the kock came from injuries and still included. Gambles that seem to be backfiring. Duminy at least contributed. Vernon injury. Not going according to the script that's for sure. Struggling.

'double hundred by one man' :wtf:
 
Amla does look a bit off...asked for water before the first drinks break. But he's hanging in there...upped his run rate a bit in the last few overs.

Really? A commentator could make that diagnosis due to Amla wanting some water?????

He looked like a man that has spent a day in the desert with nothing to drink. His eyes looking into the distance. Defeated. Tired.

Eh not really, I haven't watched the game. Also following it via ESPN Cricinfo.

He does look tired already but he's dealing with it...maybe a touch of cold or something like that.
 
Ugh well I guess it's time to get ready for work. So much sport on a Friday. Should have taken the day off.

If this current partnership can just continue then I see a nice big score for the Proteas.
