Rossouw scored 4 ducks in his first 6 innings.

He's **** and so is Behardien.

Why do we put up with ****e performances for so long?

Rossouw is new and deserves a run based on his local cricket performances. This behardien needs to be dropped. His local stats are not even impressive and at 31 his not going to get much better

Rossouw is a real talent and we need to show patience. His performances at franchise level and SA A proves this. Behardien is very questionable...

The problems in this side is so obvious.

We have 4 very good players in Amla, De kock, faf and AB but the rest contribute absolutely sweet **** in terms of runs.

Why do we stick with players so long? How many times have Rossouw failed? 4 ducks in his first six innings and he's still there? Baffling.

Don't get me started on Behardien, I don't care what he does in this innings.

You don't win a WC with 4 batsmen and 7 tailenders.

We have 2 very good batsman, Amla and AB, then we have 3 average batsman QDK and Faf and Duminy, then we have lots of rubbish batsman, Miller, Farhaan, Roussouw (which I thought was the future...). To late to give Van Zyl a chance now.
Smith must come out of retirement and bat at 4, at least then we have 4 average batsman.
Bowlers i just don't know anymore, one game we bowl them out for 150, next game they make 330. Feel that De Lange should get a chance. Chris Morris is also knocking on the door.

SOS to Kallis :p

Rossouw is new so I still have some tolerance for him. Behardien has been around doing this for ages...

Agreed, I tend to look the other way when Roussouw fails, but he is on thin ice at the moment, 2 of those ducks was against NZ, no disrespect to them, but really not the best bowling attack in the world...

They are much better than "average" batsman.

Nope, they are not.
Duminy probably being the best of the 3.
Duminy has an ODI average of 39, but t least he can bowl.
QDK has an ODI average of 43, and very inconsistent, still young, but not "Good" at this point
Faf has an ODI average of 35 and probably the most inconsistent of the 3 of them.
To me that's pretty average.
All 3 of them has the ability to win us a game, when they are good, the are brilliant, but only happens once in a blue moon.

Better if we lose this series, then no one will expect anything of us in the World Cup.

AB listed to come in at 4! Finally! I think Behardien bought himself another chance with his bowling last game
