Henry in for Milne, Philander in for Abbot, and SA to bat first.

Gonna be a good game. Henry seems to be in for his extra pace - gonna be bowling as Milne Light and not Jnr Southee.

Not to unhappy about bowling with rain around and hopefully a freshened wicket. Guess SA don't want to chase given their history and the fact the two games they lost were chasing.

Hmm, batting first? I thought bowling first would have been a better option. I guess we'll find out in 20 mins.

Assuming Saffers get a reasonable total, I think our approach to Tahir will be key. If we can put him under the pump it will mess with their bowling options.

Yea will be interesting to see how they go about defending whatever score they get with 4 bowlers, Duminy, and filth.

NZ will definitely be going hard at Philander, Tahir and Duminy, and SA my be short of options if one of those 3 has a bad game.

Yeah might just be a good toss to lose. Was also hoping we'd get to set the Proteas a target, but probably better we play to our strengths than playing the opposition. Excited to see how this attack will go.

I also think Tahir will be key. Unfortunately think he will cut a swathe through our mid / lower order ...

Enjoy the game everyone. Am so looking forward to this. Always easy to say that when you don't follow either side, but it really should be a beauty.
