***Official*** Australia and South Africa in West Indies ODI Tri-Series

One of the most pointless series in a long time... wish we would just give the young guys some experience. Nobody really cares... and by the crowd WI seem non to bothered either.
Feel like this series is some remnant from the days when WI was strong enough to compete..

Is it just me or is the commentary about as exciting as the cricket... I actually can`t stand Haysman.

If Behardien is your specialist no. 6, then your lower middle-order has a lot to worry about. He has the batting of a no. 7 and a bowling of a 6th bowler. In other words, he doesn't deserve to be in the team. I'd have a specialist batsman in his place. Even today SA weren't doing too badly when Behardien came to the crease.

Behardien, Wiese and Morris where originally fighting for spots.... Morris has become the first choice 7 but with Faf injured we have no other batting cover, except Parnell who would have been better. Behardien dibbly dobblers may do well on this pitch, though. But not enough runs unless WI implode.

Don't I miss the days when we batted down to 10...

I hope they use Rossouw at no. 6 when Faf is fit. Duminy can be used as 6th bowler. You can't have a no. 6 who doesn't have both a holding game and an attacking game. It's a very important position for ODIs and a hack like Behardien is misfit there because his holding game is crap and his attacking game is not of International standard at all.

The problem was Duminy's bowling went totally of the boil so they tried to fit in an extra all-rounder top 6/7 (before Morris got his chance)... regardless, when Faf is fit Rillee should play 5/6 with Duminy occupying other spot..

I really, really wish I didn't wake up to have to see Johnson Charles bat.

Can`t believe there is no 2nd slip... defending 188. Edges all over the place hardly anything off the middle and no 2nd slip!

rossouw should not play because he has a stupid name
parnell should not play if he still has the man bun

i should not be a selector because i pick players on factors completely irrelevant to cricketing ability
