Contra
Cricketer Of The Year
6 games to go for the knockouts, plenty of practice time, especially considering SA's group is much weaker than NZ's.

Warm ups for World Cup

Except for the last series where they got australia for 100/5 and still let them chase down 260, getting 80 runs from the last 10 overs.This is the beauty of SA....You can have them under the pump for a long period of time & they can turn a game on it's head in a heartbeat.
NZ 305 all out, SA to chase it down with 3 overs remaining. Such a ruthless side (unless it's a WC knock-out)

Australia are their Achilles heel, no doubt. Let's not forget how strong Australia are in their home conditions. I mean they've only lost 1 of their last 10 games at home & that was to SA.Except for the last series where they got australia for 100/5 and still let them chase down 260, getting 80 runs from the last 10 overs.
In terms of conceding 80 runs off the last 10, that's actually not that bad these days, especially considering Australia's ridiculously deep batting with the likes of Faulkner, Johnson & Starc at 8,9 & 10.
Still do think that South africa has a problem with their death bowling though, but that's more of a minor complaint for a mostly excellent side because there are very few countries where death bowling is not a concern.

Same amount as ever.
Howsie
International Captain
No doubt they'll all come back out as soon as he has a average to below average game.

No one hates Boult. I like most people just don't think he is necessarily our second best ODI bowler at this point in time.
That doesn't mean he isn't good and can't be good.
You're probably the one with the most notable chip on your shoulder with your crusade against ol' man river.

Still? Really with this same straw-man argument?
You should just make that your signature & be done with it. Boring now.
