Group 1 Second Round - Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Netherlands

[CricAddict]

A team which had lots and lots of allrounders at one point doesn't have a single decent one now..Steyn coming in at 8 and then the 3 No 11s will be the reason SA go out of this tournament..

Guptill looks so so **** when confronted with quality pace.

 

[Zinzan]

C'mon Gup-dot.

 

[Bahnz]

This is awful from Guptill. He hasn't been able to do anything more than nudge the ball back in the general direction of the bowler so far.

 

[Zinzan]

Hate to admit it, but we miss Ryder and his ability to hit perfectly good balls for 6 so much.

Why mind admitting it? He's a massive loss.

Back when we had those all rounders, I think we had maybe 1 batsman in the top 10? or even top 20?

 

[Bahnz]

This opening combination is just all wrong for T20. You can't open with 2 anchor batsmen. As risky as it is, New Zealand have to move McCullum up to open.

 

[Bahnz]

Guptill with 7 off 17 - trying to prove that he belongs back in the test side.

I hate these guptill innings. You're not a good batsman. but you are a good slogger. slog, ffs.

Even now, I think its only one (De Villiers) who we can say as a top 10 T20 batsman.
At least Parnell should surely play instead of Morkel or Tsotsobe..

Not talking about tests here. SA are a total beast there..

Well sure we can refer to quality batsman like Amla too, but it is hard to compare us to back then pre 2003, we would have struggled back then playing T20 cricket with our batsmen.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

PERFECT start for NZ

 

[Pup Clarke]

I thought Beuran Hendricks would of been a lock in this side.

 

[Zinzan]

SA right back in it.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

That stumping was huge.

 

[BeeGee]

Ha Ha, Taylor!

 

[TT Boy]

Morne has just bowled the game away.

 

[Zinzan]

The real Ross Taylor has awoken.

 

[Briony]

SA bowling in the short forms can be so leaky but they did not make enough runs for this type of pitch.

 

[TT Boy]

Nice catch.
