    Quinton De Kock has flopped badly at World Cups

    So the SA Cricket thread had me digging into some numbers, and what I found was shocking ...Quinton De Kock has not been very good at World Cups ODI WC 2015-2019* In 17 ODI World Cup innings he averages 30 at a SR of 85.55 0 World Cup hundreds , 4 50's T20 WC 2014-2022* In 18 T20 World...

    South Africa team selection

    I agree , and unfortunately we are a touch conservative when it comes to selecting youngsters compared to Asians .. sometimes you gotta make spontaneous decisions ..he bowls handy leggies aswell !

    Kallis vs Jadeja

    I'll be 62 in a week's time , i don't plan on living till I'm 90 but it doesn't look like I'll get to see SA win a WC before I die either ?

    Kallis vs Jadeja

    The poll closure date freaks me out ...I most certainly won't be alive by 7th April 2053 .

    Everton Weekes vs Rahul Dravid

    Was actually named after Weekes a brilliant batsman probably the best of the 3 W's .

    Stuart Broad vs Neil Wagner

    Yes my bad I was supposed to say South Africa and against Australia in England

    Stuart Broad vs Neil Wagner

    Stuart Broad's longevity shades it for me ...Also winning series in South Africa and Australia and playing a big part in them stands out ...

    South Africa team selection

    I think it's best not to get personal and so defensive mate

    1st Semi Final | NZ vs Pak | Sydney, 09 Nov 2022

    Harsh on Finn Allen I think he's had a pretty good tournament , he embodies what a T20 opener really should be in this era : Someone who takes advantage of the Powerplay restrictions in the first 6 overs , looks to give his side a fast start .. He gives the rest of the batting line up either...

    South Africa team selection

    Dwaine Pretorius was also a big miss , he was a capable batsman and he added some unpredictability to the SA batting line up, he seemed to be the only bowling all rounder the SA brains trust could even think of promoting up the order , which is what you need when you don't have a strong tail ...

    South Africa team selection

    We also need to talk about Quinton De Kock.. The guy is absolutely hopeless in tournaments ! ... In the ODI World Cup in 17 innings he averages 30.00 at a SR 85 with 0 hundreds Compare that to his ODI career record - 45.57 , SR 96 - 17 ODI hundreds In T20 World Cups he averages 24.12 @...

    1st Semi Final | NZ vs Pak | Sydney, 09 Nov 2022

    I'm hoping for a NZ win ..They have been so consistent in Tournaments of late deserve atleast one WC from this current gen . Nice Guys should win too!

    Your T20 WC 'Flop' XI from the Eliminated Teams

    If you had to make a Flop XI from those eliminated, what would it look like ?

    Is SKY the new ABdV?

    If you play 100 odd tests and average 50+ you're elite ..Like less than one percent of batsmen have done that .

    Is SKY the new ABdV?

    Nope but he doesn't have to be , he is without doubt the best T20 batsman in the world right now .

    South Africa team selection

    Bavuma has to step down from captaincy or be removed .. Second time in a row SA out of the group stage , struggling to qualify automatically for the ODI WC ..A sackable offense

    Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

    That one point SA lost to rain did ultimately come back to haunt them. Such luck. I've thought about this , I don't think South Africa can say they were unlucky... Beat Netherlands and qualify. Every Test Nation would take this scenario 100 times out of 100 , the actual SA vs Zim game itself...

    Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

    If you make chases harder than they should be you are asking for trouble , same thing happened with Zimbabwe for Pakistan...Top batsmen do not leave things for others they get the job done or atleast leave the situation in a better place than they found it.

    Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

    I don't understand this approach from Pakistan...Okay a place in the semi final is at stake but you can't tell me this game was anymore important than the SA game and look at the intent they showed there ? I swear Pakistan look at the opponent and play accordingly rather than go out and smash...

    Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

    Damn being a Pakistan supporter cannot be good for your health , the highs and the lows !
