Extra opener...

Selection isn't that ridiculous on this occasion. South Africa are going to play two spinners in practically all ODI cricket up until the WC and P offers cover. Helps that he can bat and field as well.

Ntini is dare I say the only politicised selection. He has no ODI future, Charl Langeveldt is the cricketer they wanted but he is not fit.

Good squad. Should win it or at least reach the finals but that would be unheard of. Likelihood is that they will choke before that and then ass rape England in the following ODI series. No excuses, home form in ODI cricket is imperious.
