SA need to beat a buoyant Windies team. These madhirs tend to play better against SA when the WC is upon us. They have a damn good T20 team with very good balance between spin and pace... Our only chance is to out-bat the opposition. I have no hope in our bowlers ( besides Tahir) to reign in the opposition at all.



Duminy is out, wonder who is going to be included ?

Nagpur low and slow, 100% sure behardien will replace duminy.

Personally would like phangiso and steyn to play as well. Phangiso cause nagpur turns square and steyn because of the record at nagpur.

We need the cojones to open with a spinner....new ball and pace against Gayle is going to let them capitalise on the powerplay. Get on top of them early and we can make them collapse...they're still the West Indies. I wanna see some ball management also...throwing it into the keeper on the bounce to roughen \ soften it up early as possible - that kind of thing. the sooner we can get the shine and hardness off the ball, the better in Nagpur.

Afgans should have kept them down to 120... Looks like the Poms could get 140 and this will be enough

Yeah, these runs on the board are not just a target to defend, but a much needed shot in the arm of confidence/momentum for the English. They've gone from exiting the tournament, to contenders for that runner up position. A loss here for them (and it could still happen) would've meant that we could 'afford' to lose to the West Indies and still beat Sri Lanka. Now it looks like we'll have to beat both.

I think AFG is going to take this.

the wicket does nothing for pace bowlers. and I am not sure if the eng attack can do what it take here to defend this.

sure its about 42 more than England should have gotten, so maybe there is still hope...
