    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    I think that only made it because Firdose picked it and she is incapable of thinking deeply about anything. I was at that game, the SA innings was great, three tons, but it was boring after that. Not a great ODI by any stretch of the imagination.

    Anyone think South Africa can finally win the 50 over World cup?

    As a Proteas fan I think the team looks good, maybe the tail is a tad too long, think seven is a spot too high for Jansen.

    Are Cricket World Cup Squads too small ?

    IIRC correctly '92 WC only had 14-man squads.

    The Proteas WC 2023 Team

    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.

    What grounds have you been to and where do you still want to go?

    Dammit, had London on the brain.

    South Africa team selection

    Yes, IVA Richards, almost guaranteed to be close to the top of those kinds of lists.

    Must be close to a record for a List A game.

    What grounds have you been to and where do you still want to go?

    What grounds have you been to and where would you still want to watch? I've been to: - Wanderers, Johannesburg - Supersport Park, Centurion - Newlands, Cape Town - JB Marks Oval, Potch - Kingsmead, Durban - Willowmoore Park, Benoni - Old Trafford, Manchester - Lord's, London - Oval, London...

    South African Domestic 2022/23

    Wiaan Mulder scored 75% of the runs in the completed innings, must be close to a List A record.

    South African Domestic 2022/23

    Lions getting annihilated by WP at the Wanderers, 52/8. And this is just after they were bowled for 80-odd v the newbies, KZN Inland.

    Well, he got a hundred last year and averaged 55 in last year's FC comp, so he's starting to do something right.

    Smith has OK numbers, I wonder if he's on the selectors' radar.

    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    SA's only entry so far is the game where AB got the fastest 100 of all time. Not sure how that made it a great match, great innings sure, but great match, not so much. WI innings was actually quite boring. But I see Moonda wrote it, she probably helped choose it...

    We've won our last three ODI series. Granted they were all at home but one was against England and the other was against Aus. It wasn't a full-strength Aus but you can only play what's in front of you. We also beat Aus three games in a row by more than 100 runs. That's pretty consistent. Also...

    I don't know what's happened between Linde and CSA, something obviously. He would have been perfect for the No 7 spot.

    South Africa team selection

    The stats of the Bosches aren't much better though, and neither has played an international match. So, why would you rather take them? And who cares if he's a No 10, he's getting picked as a bowler. If you're worried about how many runs your 9, 10, and 11 are going to make, you've already lost.

    Look, I'm not getting my hopes up, because as Bane tells Batman, only the man who has hope can feel true despair.

    South Africa team selection

    I agree, it's quite unlikely but this is a team that could win the thing. Batting is solid and if the batting fires, we'll be getting 400+. Ngidi looks like he is getting back to his best form, Maharaj (especially) and Shamsi are bowling well, Rabada is Rabada, and even Coetzee isn't going to...

    Stuart MacGill arrested

    Enjoys some Cape red paired with Colombian white, perhaps.
