Looks like it's allowed a better batter to come in anyway. Those 2 balls he's faced probably decided it.It was poor from the batsman but Dewan Marais is some fielder.
Don't think we would have gotten to the target without that help.Win or lose from here.... SA can't be giving away 23 wides and nb's and hope to defend targets consistently.
I would say the all-round class players look : Pretorious and MaphakaGreat group of kids , most of them should go far if the administrators in SA cricket don't mess things up.
Maphaka the greatest U19 World Cup bowler ever statistically
Yeah, that's roughly how I saw it too (maybe less so Norton). I'm not overall convinced though that this is a vintage tournament.I would say the all-round class players look : Pretorious and Maphaka
Potential to go far : Norton & Luus
Limited overs specialists : Stolk and Marais
Juan James has played for WP this season but I don't see it. Teeger and Seletswane have good techniques but they may take some time to get to Senior level.
The commentary team mentioned James hadn't taken a wicket all tournament and he is sending down 8 overs in the semi-final. Easy in hindsight, but Maphaka should have been bowled out before the 30th. From what I saw this morning, the Indian captain and Das were completely untroubled against the secondary bowlers. The quality gap was huge.Yeah I was going to comment on Juan James. Started the tournament at 8 as well. His bowling looks a little better than part time so I don't understand what his role is?
If Teeger hadn't been stripped of the captaincy (not that he had a very good tournament either), would James even have played?Yeah I was going to comment on Juan James. Started the tournament at 8 as well. His bowling looks a little better than part time so I don't understand what his role is?
Yeah me too. Was about to stick it on. Annoying as I've got to go to London tomorrow whilst now I've got nothing to keep me entertained until the SA20 starts.Thought the other semi was today but it's actually tomorrow.
Odd.
Australia has no bowlersSecond semi has started and Pakistan going nowhere in the powerplay. The Aussies haven't even bowled particularly well, but the openers have been completely incapable of putting bad balls away and have now both perished to rubbish shots to not especially good balls.
