Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

[Prince EWS]

In terms of consistent pace possibly, but don't forget both Lockie Ferguson & Umran Malik both recorded speeds in excess of 157kms earlier this year. I don't recall either Wood or Nortje quite reaching those speeds.

Yeah Ferguson and Rauf are just as quick as Nortje and Wood on average imo.

Malik is a bit of a meme at this point, and not at the tournament at all. Would be like bringing up Lance Morris.

I was surprised by Rauf's pace in the NZ tri-series, he was doing 150+ in games where Southee was struggling to get above 125, but does Rauf bowl at that kind of pace in ODIs?

Nortje and Wood are perpetually quick regardless of the format.

 

[Burgey]

Bangers putting in an almost Australia-level bad performance here. And that's with SA playing the mercy card and bowling a couple of finger spinners at them.

Stocks in cnerd ltd placed in a trading halt.

 

[trundler]

Lol only in Haris Rauf's own mind.

He hits 150+ quite regularly. Displaying your ignorance.

 

[Xuhaib]

Rauf seems to be improving as well as getting faster at a very quick rate which is a surprise as he is already 29 not the best
age when Pakistani pacers get good.

Not bad for a domino's pizza delivery guy who randomly decided to have a go for Lahore Qalandars open trials 5 years back as he was getting bored with his day job.

Rilee Rossouw beats Bangladesh by 8 runs , the closest Bangladesh got to a victory in this match.

 

[StephenZA]

Unfortunately that's this SA team in a nutshell , not really a team I guess with all the politics around it is hard to be one . Everyone looks out for themselves first , thats kinda the reason why Rossouw has never played Test cricket despite his outrageous talent.

What the hell are you talking about?... never played Test cricket because he went kolpak...

 

[Burgey]

Isn't that looking after himself?

 

[MW1304]

Roussow has the most forgettable face. Every time I hear about him doing well I can't picture it and just go with Markram's face instead. Not sure why.

 

[StephenZA]

Isn't that looking after himself?

I did not read it that way... it read more as his selfishness meant he did not get picked by the selectors... rather than he made a personal decision and made himself unavailable.

 

[Burgey]

If he made himself a Kolpak player, how is he repping for SA here? Have the rules changed?

Brexit essentially ended Kolpak signings. They've allowed 2 overseas players in the County Championship because of it too.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Kolpak doesn't matter ever since the UK left the EU (I think).

 

[ankitj]

WTF is this batting even against Netherlands? Do they also have a left arm pacer?

 

[Daemon]

Pringle looks a lot like bubbles from trailer park boys

 

[StephenZA]

Kolpak no longer exists, thus the restriction of not being able to play for your country has gone away. Hence the return of a number of SA players that were previously unavailable e.g Harmer.

 

[Daemon]

Pathetic start. They're gonna rely on SKY to pull one out his arse again.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Klassen. Yeah he's quite useful.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Pringle has been very economical in this tournament.

 

[Burgey]

He must have hit this cos otherwise it looks dead
