The Oval

We looked sharp Vs WI and Ireland recently, and there were some positives from the India game despite getting flogged by Rohit and MSD.

Hope we can pounce on this somewhat weakened SA side and get an early scalp

Would just about back SA to get through this. Bangladesh is by no means a push over though.There could be a surprise in store.

Amla not at training today so probably a doubt for tomorrow.

Makes selection easier. Expect to see Morris as well.

Steyn was at training so I guess there is that possibility too.

Tamim a doubt for Bangers which would be a blow for them.

At The Oval where South Africa have been training this morning. Chris Morris had a decent bowl and bat, suggesting he might come back in. No sign of Hashim Amla after his concussion against England.

A decision on Amla will be taken tomorrow morning.

 

[SeamUp]

If anything the Oval pitch should be better than England v SA with a bit of sun on it and being rolled again.

Steyn out tomorrow so our team is pretty straight forward.

QdK, Markram, Faf, Rassie, Miller, JP, Andile, Morris, KG, Ngidi, Imran

Imran playing his 100th ODI. 24th South African to do so.

We should finally see a competitive match. Sort of hate seeing a team playing game 2 before another teams first match.. It defeats the necessity of having an even number of teams.

 

[trundler]

Will we see a century today?

Come on, Liton!

Yep and it gets worse. SA third match is against India's first match. I don't see how that's fair as SA should have tuned up.

Dud match

If you think the BCCI didn't get the exact schedule it wanted I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[harsh.ag]

Seriously though disappointing weekend fixtures.

Dud match

This should be the first competitive match in this WC (hopefully !)

 

[Borges]

Fancy South Africa for this game; though it may be fairly close.

 

[Howe_zat]

A game for Bangladesh to target if they are gonna compete for the semis. Don’t see them getting up unfort.

 

[Athlai]

Reckon Bangers may do alright here, battings had a lot of blokes contributing decently recently. May not have enough bowling though

 

[Borges]

C'mon, you Saffers; win the toss, bat first and bury this Bangladesh under a mountain of runs.

 

[SeamUp]

It's a weird feeling not being confident in South Africa. Never felt the feeling before until recently which has become semi-regular.

 

[trundler]

260.
