and partnership broken 123/6

 

[Andy1993]

what a collapse 135-8!

 

[Stefan9]

Easy win in the end. No real answers thought, we know the bowling attack is good.

 

[Rasimione]

I don't think Mulder is ready for international cricket just yet. He needs another season of competitive cricket to get him up to speed.

 

[StephenZA]

Good win, all the main bowlers impressed. Nortje looks the business.

Miller keeping is probably an indication that Klaasen is not going, obviously want to know somebody on the field can take over if QDK can't keep.

 

[YorksLanka]

Congrats to SA for an easy win in the end..I thought we did well to restrict them to 251 but it was way too many in the end..
@ maximas - you were right about Malinga. From what I saw today, he bowled a lot better.
Russell Arnold calling for Dimuth at the top of the order ( like TT boy did ) and now I tend to agree with both. Might not be a bad thing for him to try and bat through with the others batting around him..

Wow QDK really is a petulant little flog

 

[Heboric]

Wow QDK really is a petulant little flog

What did he do ?

Let me guess did he try talk positively about his team ?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

No, that childish little display in the dressing room after getting out. Aaron Finch copped a fine for doing something similar, although slightly less severe, in the Big Bash

Damn the kid for being upset for getting out to a loose shot on 94....

Well we know what sensitive flowers the Aussies can be to cop a fine for that....... lucky he did not get banned for a year.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I don't think he deserves any punishment, I didn't think Finch did either. Not a great look though

Fully agree, the dressing room is not a public place so what goes on behind closed doors should stay there..

 

[GRAB]

Weird to have such long turnarounds between games? You'd think they'd try and get a game on Friday and Sunday???

 

[StephenZA]

Just realised that QDK has played more ODI's than Tahir? Bit bizarre to me.

 

[TT Boy]

It is surprising as he was an instant success in ODIs (2011 WC) but they still kept going to the likes of Robbie P and Botha. Tahir after the 2011 WC didn't play another ODI till 2013.

 

[TT Boy]

Hendricks didn't need that. Difficult to see how he travels to England. Poor average, poor S/R.

It is unfortunate for him he has lost form just at the wrong time so quickly.... combined with Markram's current form I can't see it happening for him.

 

[Stefan9]

Can see reeza still being in the squad but not the starting 11. Markram needs to open for the last 2 odi's.

 

[TT Boy]

de Kock is in some form.
