The only conclusion is that AB had money on Pakistan so bowled Albie to get them over the line. Both teams batted poorly but SA more so in the end and AB holding back himself and Albie with the bat couldn't have helped.

AB either backed Pakistan or is a very dumb captain.

I think South Africa need to stop trying to say they are going to drop the 'chokers' tag before every single ICC tournament, and just embrace it.

theegyptian · 28-09-2012, 07:26 AM

too early in the comp to call that a choke.

To be fair he made some very good decisions earlier in the innings, bowling Kallis and Albie Morkel when he did wasn't the brightest though, particularly Albie Morkel

Likely to be Pathan as per last match. Wouldn't want to move Kohli anywhere around the order. Pathan opening is not bad if he can score a quick 15-20 imo.

I won't say this very often - but come on Australia.

Think India are heavy favourites though personally, particularly in these conditions and after winning the toss.

Don't like Pathan opening. He's okay with the bat but our specialist bats should be opening.

Oh well, hope he makes me look silly.

I agree with that actually - one of the right-handers should man up. Given the way Dhoni plays in T20Is (ie really slowly) I'd have thought he could send out a message and do it himself. We know Kohli and Nohit are big girl's blouses.

Scaly piscine · 28-09-2012, 08:12 AM

Hmm where is everyone...

That must have been worthy of a few comments surely.
