Had a feeling there was going to be wicket just before Ravana bowled the first ball.
Guess it maybe the players body language

I actually like the composition of the team for this match. 3 allrounders means we bat up till 9, like the good old days. And those allrounders are not bowling too badly either.

The 90s mentality of playing 6 batsmen and 5 bowlers was never going to work. Should probably look at this formula going forward...

It's a no brainer and I have no idea why we regressed to a 6 + 5 team. These days your #8 should be averaging eay to mid 20s.

Why is Pretorius only playing after we have been eliminated? Is the selection rules that you have to have a certain number of black players in your team so Miller had to make was for Duminy for Pretorius to be allowed to play?

After his performance against England he got the axe, might have been harsh but his run-out was a joke
