*Official* West Indies in South Africa 2022/23

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 .
When markram doesn't play the options in the current squad regarding someone who bats in the top 6 and can bowl is rather limited. Pretty sure they would used Mulder in that role but he hurt his finger.

2nd game today
South Africa: Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen return to the squad from rests and David Miller from the PSL. They could replace Ryan Rickelton, Rassie van der Dussen and Tristan Stubbs.

I wish they would stop taking unnecessary risks , the rate is 4 an over from here just knock it around , take it deep ..bat 45 overs you win game

Brainless batting, Miller is out ..is it a T10 game ?
Why so many shots in the air ..Long tail over 100 runs to go, you have to bat smarter than this no wonder we are struggling to qualify for ODI WC

South Africa is in the rare position of having competent spin bowling all rounders as well as batsmen who have experience in the conditions to back up their gun pace men but has somehow managed to **** it all up. A full strength SA side like:

Bavuma
De Kock
Markram
Van Der Dussen
Rossouw
Miller
Linde
Maharaj
Rabada
Ngidi
Nortje

would certainly be in contention for a top 4 spot but instead they've both excluded their best medium term players to 'plan ahead' and not actually done any planning ahead. It's genuinely batshit that they've plainly given up on trying to win the upcoming WC.

Funny game. South Africa want to win with 20 overs to spare and they’re 1 wicket away from losing this by 50+ runs.

Waste Indies as usual persisting with trash like O. Smith, R. Shepherd. No surprises there. When will they realize that Jason Holder is not a ODI bowler? ( That was a rhetorical question..the answer is NEVER):D
S. Hope will continue to remain a mystery for me. Such class and grace in ODIs and falls apart like pack of cards in Tests. :huh: Might have been a decent captain but I guess will never know as at any given point, half of the WI squad is made up of pure trash that won't even make it beyond club level cricket in other countries.
