They are way ahead at this stage

slipy you think Shaheen gonna end up waste man? Bowls too straight

 

[slippy888]

He only 18 years old so we have to let him develop his skills more before we can judge, some waste man have been playing all types of cricket for at least 13 years.

Amir looks back to his best now

 

[h_hurricane]

Amir has been exceptional in this WC so far. Wonder why he was off color for so long in the recent past.

 

[vcs]

Amir has always been good in English conditions.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bowler of the tournament so far

Amir has always been good in English conditions.

Dead right. Averages 22 in Eng and Ireland, 32 elsewhere.

 

[h_hurricane]

Quinton has played a lot of "worth zilch" strokes. Straight to the fielders. Not a good habit to develop.

 

[Borges]

Neither of these two batsmen have looked convincing at all.

 

[trundler]

De Kock is doing an early innings Warner. Looks like VDD and Miller will have a job to do.

The issue is many of SA players do not believe in taking singles. Poor rotation of strike. How times have changed. 20 years back they were the best in the business in this regard.

sarfraz's attitude and demeanor can be so irritating to watch. the slightest thing goes wrong and he acts like someone's run over his wife.

Yes I agree. Soaking up dots is definitely worse than not hitting boundaries. He's been hitting it straight to fielders, like Warner.

The music they play in this World Cup during drinks and wicket breaks is really nice.

 

[slippy888]

Looking good here South Africa

Non-performing captains usually do that.

Not good time to come for Markram - he will have to face a lot of spin now. I still feel Plessis should swap places with him.

The umpire should not assume the catch has been taken unless he sees otherwise. It's the other way around. If there is doubt, it's not out. The default is the catch was not taken unless the umpire can confirm he saw it taken cleanly. That's what the soft signal is based on.

Isnt this wrong now? The de Kock one now was a boundary catch and the soft signal was out. By your logic the soft signal should've been not out right?
