Match #50- Super Eights, West Indies vs South Africa (N), Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium, Antigua-- June 23rd- Group 2

What's the reasoning behind bowling Nortje out as opposed to giving Rabada only two at the end? Complete on-field improv or could they have discussed it beforehand?

That was a useful little partnership at the end. It's given them something to bowl at.

WI are so appalling, no wonder they didn't qualify for the ODI WC last year. Whole innings couldn't lay bat on ball most of the time. Just wild swings. Same thing they did vs Eng and vs NZ. Definitely don't deserve to be in the SFs.

You have some surprisingly caustic views on other teams :laugh:
 
I wish they had a few batters who could bat sensibly and hit through the line rather than just slog.
Have to understand that the guys who are supposed to bat with calm heads got dismissed early. Roston Chase and Mayers rebuilded, which I am sure everyone agrees with is a difficult pitch. SA spinners were relentless, and we didn't have any proper batsman in the lower middle-order.

Yeah and Markram was great. He got 12 overs of spin in the innings. Didn't even use Rabada except last overs. Read the pitch really well.
