Sorry to be lazy and not find this out myself, but where are the non-Albie Morkel new-ball options, like Ntini etc?

Ponting could have been out 3 times already. Should have been run out, that was a bad miss. Ominous signs now.

They also have Ntini, Tsotsobe and Parnell in the squad. The last two are inexperienced and Ntini's meant to be out of their plans for the next WC so I suspect they're looking at other options. They also said that they will be rotating they quicks.

jeez, won't Ntini only be like 33 by then, plus he's super-fit?

Please be careful with your wording...
Hussey's average has dropped by 2 after that innings, could drop further if he continues to open.
This is going to be Ponting's day.
That looked very out!

BARNES OUT
Yeah that's the game. Jaquesy slapped it on debut.

Not sure why he is playing, South Africa don't need batsman coming in at 7, they need bowlers. Looks like JP will have to turn his arm over.

And super-finished.

Pretty sure that he's been getting pumped lately in limited overs cricket.

Ntini has been getting pasted around in limited overs cricket. SA does look light on for bowling but it's their poor fielding which is costing them. They used to be a superb fielding team. Wonder what's happened, they used to have fast, athletic types running around.

SA's tour is really turning bad, just like the English one. Will the lynching mobs be at the airport when they return? I know how much their fans love this form of the game, they won't be pleased. They obviously lack the depth to replace the likes of Ntini and Smith. Albie Morkel is atrocious.

Albie Morkel is a fair way short of being an ODI opening bowler, but even given that and the fact that he has terrible figures, I actually thought he bowled okay today.
I suppose that emphasises the point though - when you bowl well and still go for sevens without the batsmen taking too many risks, you're not up to the job. Even so though, to call his "atrocious" based on four overs when he's primarily a batsman is a bit harsh.
