There are undoubtedly serious match winners in that squad, but remains to be seen if they turn up in their best form. Seems like a while since Rabada has been at his best or am I imagining it?

How many games will Shamsi and Maharaj play together?

Markram being the other spin option.

 

[Silver Silva]

Can see them having a shocking World Cup tbh ..
No all rounders , long tail , poor spinners ..
Star player retiring at the age of 30 after this CWC ..
T20 is destroying their cricket .

 

[Fuller Pilch]

No all rounders ,

It is crazy that the greatest country in history for all rounders hasn't had a decent one since Kallis.

How many games will Shamsi and Maharaj play together?

Turned the game yesterday when bowling in tandem. They should play every game. It's the much vaunted seam attack which seems to leak runs horrifically.

not too outlandish to play them both and drop Ngidi

A case for if the pitch demands their style of bowling, then play them.

But then again Maharaj is skillful to bowl on any surface, and Shamsi is that much of an "X-Factor" to not play him. This way you can rotate your pacers...to an extent.

Serious team. Will choke though.

Nortje ruled out he will be emotional for sure

Gotta feel for him. Second 50 over WC missed in a row.

While I don't think we will win, this is a team that could win.

Only weakness is that there is a longish tail, Jansen is a spot too high at seven I think, but bowling is starting to come right and batters are all in good form.

Reckon this could be an SF team, but probably won't win.

So begs the question, batsmen will have to do their jobs. Same for bowlers. Old school ****

Fielding's gotta join the party as well. A good fielding team makes things happen.
