*Official* Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011/12

I have a feeling, not sure why, that South Africa is going to lose this ODI.

Still expect them to win the series though.
Slow and low? Yes, we stand a chance to lose. If Duminy comes in, expect the run rate to drop to about half a run an over. A couple of our guys aren't good when the balls are not coming onto the bat. I would have loved to see someone like Van Wyk here who is pretty good on these types of wickets. With that in mind I think our side should have two or three slots that revolve depending on the pitch.

Retirement? Seems to have lost his hunger for cricket since his marriage.
From ODIs? Hopefully, but with an option to withdraw said retirement.

Boucher should have retired after the test series. Now we'll have to wait for the next home series before he'll retire.

Yes Boucher should definitely have retired even before this SL series to give them a chance to blood someone.

Maybe Smith should pull the pin now and let AB de Villiers take over as test captain for NZ so he will have a bit more experience for the tough England and Aussie tours. Elgar could replace Smith as opening batsman if he recovers from his knee injury.

Biffy should say good bye to ODI to keep the test spot for several more years. Elgar, Levi or van Wyk are better option...

This chase depends a lot on how this partnership develops now. If JP and Kallis gets into that famous shell, the RR will touch 7 in no time.

It really does get ridiculous with SA. 15 to win FFS and all of a sudden Duminy looks edgy, they start going for stupid singles and players get out to half-shots. And nearly again.

Amla missing the next game and possibly the rest of the series as the wife is giving birth. Hopefully Levi gets a go in Bloem. Smith's innings was so, so bad today. Needs to step aside from limited overs cricket. Hash missing means he won't take the record for fastest to 3000 ODI runs until probably the NZ series. Already has the record for 2000 runs and should beat Sir Viv with innings to spare.

The squad for the last 3 ODI's was going to be announced tonight but supposedly selectors chatted about potentially resting one or two players so it will be announced tomorrow.

Also been irritating that both Elgar & Kleinveldt got injured.

Agree with TT, Levi has to get the call-up.But can see Alviro getting the call-up.
