Can only play in t20's as opener. Too slow in other positions.Van Der Dussen????
I wouldn't take him as I would have rickelton as the reserve batsmen in the squad.

I think that's bonkers. He's the best #3 in the world at the moment. T20 world cups are generally lower scoring too so guys like him are valuable.Can only play in t20's as opener. Too slow in other positions.

Ehh, he's coming off a fantastic PSL but in the past 2 years (only 9 games tbf) he's averaged 20 for SA and struck at 118. Not really demanding a spot with those type of numbers.I think that's bonkers. He's the best #3 in the world at the moment.

Had a good SA20 too, didn't he? And a fantastic ODI WC too. I wouldn't put much stock in those 9 games at all. Think he should have that #3 spot locked down.Ehh, he's coming off a fantastic PSL but in the past 2 years (only 9 games tbf) he's averaged 20 for SA and struck at 118.

SA's lineup for the WC off the top of my head (assuming they stick with the bowling allrounder at 7 model) is probably
1.Reeza
2.Quinny
3.
4.Makram
5.Miller/Stubbs
6.Klassan
7.Jansen
The number 3 spot seems open, so maybe they play rassie, but they could also play brezkette or move the middle order up one spot to accomodate stubbs.
Coz scoring more runs is always better.What is the point of going for a par score if they are aware the bowling is terrible?
he had his niche as a spin basher in the past, he was one of the best at it and was great at hitting traditional yorkers with his deep in the crease, swat bat style of Dhoni school battingHe's an extremely one-dimensional batsman with extremely limited strike zones. The T20 game has evolved past him.
no they couldnt, you cant sub in an overseas player when you already name 4 in the starting xiDelhi are idiots. Brings in uncapped Indian player who has t20s strike rate of 114. They could've easily subbed nortje with inform and ultra aggressive fraser-mcgurk and unleashed him in power play. That was their only chance of winning now they've all but lost this game.
only for nrr purposesCoz scoring more runs is always better.
Not really. T20 sides can and do collapse. And Siraj and Topley can bowl spells taking a lot of wickets.only for nrr purposes
Dhoni's role is to come out so late that when his team loses, he is not the one to get the blame. It's a crucial role.Dhoni needs to face more balls. Or the plan is crystal clear? Jadeja over Dhoni, for the future.
Side strain . Has left the groundMayank down on pace big time. Got an industrial amount of hairspray on which may be slowing him down.
