    **Official** Super 8 Group 2 Discussion - Aus, Ind, Pak and SA

    this should be a cracking group. I think the 2 teams that qualify from this group will win the tournament. On to SA and I think we have a cracking squad of players. we have all our bases covered and I think most would agree that if we play to our potential then we can and we will win. I think...

    Australia could be ranked below Ireland

    that's shocking TBH. I knew Aus were crap in T20 cricket, but this is taking the piss. :/

    Hashim Amla ~ Discussion

    I just had a look at the ODI batting rankings and I noticed that Amla has crossed the 900+ barrier. he is currently on 901. my question is, is he the first player in odi histroy to achieve this?? no one in the top current 100 has a personal best of 900 or more. EDIT: just noticed that he is...

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    yeah, my best 11 would be: Amla Smith Kallis De Villiers Duminy Faf Du Plessis A Morkel Botha / Peterson Steyn Morkel Lonwabo / Philander Bench: Parnell, Elgar, Levi, Mclaren, Behardien, Tahir, De Lange. that's a very good core to work with. now i know it's unlikely we will see this team as...

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Firstly, congrats to England. You lot played the better cricket in the last 2 ODI's and it's reflected on the scorecard. This SA team looks weak and we were deservedly beaten. that said, I must point out that this doesn't even look like our strongest team possible. Kallis, Miller, Levi, Albie...

    Strauss Retires From Cricket

    don't want to come across harsh but that is hardly brilliant. Smith is close to 50. Anyway, He was what you guys needed. gave you lot some wonderful memories and he seems like a brilliant bloke.

    Craig Matthews. Loved his line and length.

    Dhoni Vs Gilchrist in ODIs.

    I would take Gilly every day of the week. that's personal preference though. haven't looked at the stats but Gilly was pure awesomeness imo.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    The ODI series begins today and I expect SA to struggle a bit. I don't think this our strongest side and it feels a bit weak in the middle order. England's middle order also looks a bit meek. should be a closely fought series, may the best team win :D

    yep, all batsman's fault really. nothing to do with the quality bowling or the pressure created :ph34r:

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    this test match has been cracking stuff. the first 3 days was a massive arm wrestle and SA just about managed to get away yesterday after lunch when the new ball was taken. England seriously need to look at Strauss, he's been in schit form for the last 2 years and dropping him will be a very...

    seems like the pitch and outfield will be undercooked. toss could be crucial.

    I think I will trust CSA over the ECB and Dobell. Afterall, wasn't it Pieterson who said someone inside the ECB is releasing info to the media, prior to this sms scandal ;)

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    why? How are we involved? did we leak the story? I didn't realise we did. could you point that out?

    interesting. seems the media are way off the mark. No wonder Pieterson refused to apologise.

    This is why SA will always have a good side

    depends on your definition of choking. If failing to win an important / vital match, then yes. But that isn't the definition of choking in my book. I see a choke as losing from a position where victory seems more easy.i.e Adam Scott at the open. That is choking IMO.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    I think it will hamper the groundsman's prep in some way or another. I am assuming that the pitch would have been covered throughout the archery. This would mean that he didn't get a chance to work on the pitch at all. So it may be underdone. By underdone I mean from the perspective of where the...

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    The final test starts Thursday and I, as a South African, am quite looking forward to it. I expect us to name an unchanged line up. However, long term, Tahir needs to learn to tie up an end. He can't give a 4 ball every over. There have been mumours of discontent about his ability to tie down an...

    What's the worst way to be dismissed?

    Was just thinking of the worst way to be dismissed. is leaving a ball and seeing your offstump uprooted worse than being run out or is hitting your own stump worse? Do you know of any weird ways people have been dismissed in the past?
