West Indies were criticised for hooking and pulling needlessly. Zimbabwe were called useless for failing to chase down a modest pakistan target. We may very well win this, but similar scathing comments are missing were the Proteas are concerned.

Why must we be scathing? It's entertainment, not politics.

It's a game guys, win some lose some.
Pakistan are bowling superbly. Credit where due. Learn to handle loss and sport becomes enjoyable win or lose.

Yep he is a brilliant keeper,he he just needs to find form with the bat,maybe moving him down the order might help him.

SA are playing badly but it's not over yet. Funny enough, I was worried about Pakistan.

I have a question, if we bowled them out, why does D/L come into play? I thought that there score would be the target because they were bowled out.

Concern, yes. Panic-stations? No.

If there's rain we have a big problem. AB only needs a few dozen balls for 150. We know this. :D
 
Personally I think QdK is a great find. Unfortunately he was moved up the order to open so quick. I think he's been found out big time. Even if he drops down the order now it'll be very hard for him to adjust. AB has been playing so low and coming in so late that he struggle when he has to consolidate. It's very hard to change role, and I think QdK will struggle to finish too. My preditcion was he will be dropped form the team completely as time goes. That will happen this year without fail.

I doubt say a Rudi Second or Mosehle will be batted up the order so it will be hard to drop them too. Especially considering the fact that they'll have at least 20 free games to bed in.
 
Besides, Pakistan are due for a win. I've been feeling really sorry for them so far this tourno. They've got a seriously messed up country, but the cricketers seem to be decent chaps on the whole.

I agree with this, opening he is always under pressure, even when we get a big innings. Drop him down to 7 and shift everyone up or move RR up to open. He needs to play, he just doesn't need his confidence decimated.

I've read a few of the threads before I joined the forum and you guys have never been shy to criticise the guys. I hope you're not withhold criticism becaus eof some misguided belief that you don't want to give "ZCFOutkast" the satisfaction. I criticise ALL teams in this CWC. Proteas are clearly failing at every hurdle.

NZ warmup, India, to a less extent ZIM. Not good at all.

SL have Dilshan, Mahela, Sanga, Mathews, Chandimal and that other opener (not injured?). We won't be chasing just 230 against them. Sure they don't have seamers as brilliant as Pakistan, but Malinga&Herath are enough trust me! We stand no chance chasing against AUS that's for sure.

"You guys" is a giveaway. It shows you think in group terms, rather than seeing individuals. That's the genesis of racism, which sees the group before it sees the person.
