Also can I just say really like the approach SA have taken with t he powerplay since bavuma started opening witn de kock. As much as I don't like janneman malan's dropping his SR left alot to be desired at times.

Seeing de Kock get out, I was thinking it doesn't really matter, South Africa still have the inform Markram, van der Dussen and Miller to come but then I saw their middle order has 3 debutants. Good opportunity for the Windies here. Mayers bowling well.

Shai Hope not making it in Tests is a mystery. What a knock
Given he is 29 and competing against the likes of Chase, innings like this will get him back into the test side. He also can’t go down the global 20/20 route. Hope one of the few single format ODI cricketers.

There's clearly a lot to build with in this windies ODI side. Mayers is gun at the top and gives them an extra bowling option, hope is making runs at 4 and pooran is solid at 5, plus akeal hosein is a handy #8 and a gun odi spinner. Just need another decent bat and some bowling and they could be very good.

If only Hetmyer wasn't a moron

Miller, markram and klaasen were rested for the first 2 games. KG and nortje for all the odi's.
It's obvious Walter is experimenting in this series.

Genuinely a hetymyr would make this team gun. I reckon rakheem at 7 + hosein gives you 2 spinners + enough batting for India. Mayer's also means you have 6 genuine bowling options which should be enough.

1000 runs for Bavuma in ODI cricket , he's gotten their faster than Hashim Amla ..has had absolutely no help from anyone today bar De Kock

This is why balance is so important for an odi side..
This current team lacked balance, no 6th bowler meant the SA bowling attack was compromised at times and then you have Marco Jansen at no.7 which means you're not great at batting depth either ...SA refuses to learn ...5 bowler strategy and weak batting depth means you're relying on specialists to play blinders , there's no margin for error .

They can get away with it at full strength because they have one of the best top 6's in the world and Miller+VD are the two best death hitters going around. Makram playing means they have a solid 6th bowler, think they just need to bite the bullet and play a poetgueter or de swardt at 7 over a bowling allrounder.

I know he scored some runs domestically recently but the likes of Fortuin would be batting 9 or 10 for England.

Bavuma could have scored 200 here and South Africa still may have fallen short.
