Rose Bowl

I have a sneaking suspicion fast bowling will be a heavy feature of this match.

 

[Beamer]

. You don't think Ashley Nurse will be a defining factor?!

I'm hoping we drop Carlos and bring in Gabriel or Roach but I suspect they won't.

Agree, they have enough batting depth provided the top order can to something. They need to strengthen their bowling.

It'd be Roach for me.

How many overs will Russell be on the field for?

I'd go Gabriel as Roach is cannon fodder on flat pitches in ODI cricket now he has lost his pace. His immaculate test length becomes the slot unfortunately. Could be useful on a green pitch though. I would probably go with Gabriel and continue our barrage with our fastest bowler.

3 at a time ��

I'd imagine they won't get away with it as he is clearly going in with an injury. He should only bowl 3 overs at a time. Holder bowled him for 5 in a row against your lot which is asking for trouble.

Fair enough, you know them better than I. Although Matt Henry also bowls that Test match length & I thought he'd get walloped like he did in the warm-up game, but he's been good so far.

That's a fair point. I couldn't complain if they do go with him tbf, he also has experience on his side.

He went off injured in the game before Aus as well.

I really hope he can mend, it's great watching him bat and bowl.

Would love SA to get back into the cup here

England having already beaten them is probably key to that feeling

 

[Arachnodouche]

I think Roach still is nasty bowling short from wide of the crease. But yes, Gabriel is a shoe in for Brathwaite. The batting has all it needs already. Add one more legitimate offensive option and there will be blood.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I'd like to see South Africa get a win. 0 from 4 would be dreadful

 

[Jezroy]

Most likely going to be rained out...

 

[Malcolm]

No way WI gonna win this one.

 

[James90]

Here's a reminder of what happened four years ago.

Prediction: No result.

 

[Bahnz]

Really hope not. This should be a cracker if the weather doesn't play spoilsport. Barring the weather, WI to win by 25 runs.

 

[mr_mister]

Going by google again, looks very likely to be a washout. Yawn

 

[Athlai]

South Africa 4/4 imo.

 

[CricAddict]

Any one of them can win. I just want a game please.
