7. Angelo Mathews (5)
8. Shahid Afridi (4)
9. Graeme Swann (3)
10. Vinay Kumar (2)
11. Mark Davies (1)

Mathews and Symonds to be bowled sparingly, Hussey only if things are going very badly. When in doubt, go for the spinners.

Declare in the first match innings if we're still in on the third day and have over 600.

Up the aggression settings only if we're going for a win on the last day, lower them if we're batting to save the draw. No nightwatchman.

SAA
Win the toss and bat.

1. Dilshan (7)

5. Duminy (6)
6. Bravo (3)
7. Dhoni
8. Vaas (1)
9. Botha (5)
10. Southee (2)
11. Bishoo (4)

Dilshan and Duminy only to bowl if needed.
Make sure we've secured the draw before we go for a win please.

Quite a few runs then. Although not as many as could have been after that start.

Holy ****!

The unbeaten 80 run partnership between Dhoni and Southee, with both at maximum aggression, particularly galling.

                  SA Allstars won by an Innings and 43 runs.
IIRC your team did something similar in the trials, collapsed in a heap on the 5th day for no apparent reason.

It's nice to see my team can pull it out when it really counts though.

Should be enough to put the **** up other teams before we play them.

210 from 57 overs is a pretty high rr. Should have just shut up shop.
I put the bowlers at maximum aggression. I can only assume the new ball bowlers fed them pies for a while because they were going seriously quick for a while. Eventually they got the message - Symonds 19 off 52...
