3rd Match - South Africa v Zimbabwe

[Athlai]

Best game so far.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Decent stuff from Zimbabwe... with just a little more quality and composure, they'd have won this.

 

[_Ed_]

Best game so far.

Easily. Just disappointing the Zim bowling went to pieces so badly at the death.

 

[SeamUp]

Nice game to start with for SA.

Wonder how long they will persist with Behardien. Hopefully not too much longer.

The Duminy of the last 3 years outside of the injuries has been Mr. Cool and the number 6 role suits him down to a tee & his bowling is so vital to shaping this team.

Miller has finally been backed to bat time in the last year and is starting to produce what we know he can.

Zimbabwe Pakistan, India & Windies are capable scalps

 

[Tec15]

Ervine can bat. Just not against spin.

Nah, I've seen plenty of him. He's useless against pace too. Mire has more upside.

 

[Hurricane]

Ervine is a selfish batsman who values red ink.

 

[Tec15]

not a convincing display by south africa with the ball. with the ball looks unconvincing on foreign conditions so far.

Yeah, they really need bowlers of the class of Maxwell, Watson and Marsh to bowl 20 of their 50 overs.

 

[SeamUp]

Benson Hedges kits bringing back so many memories of Hudson, Wessels, P.Kirsten, Cronje, Rhodes, Kuiper, McMillan, Richardson, Snell, Pringle, Donald



Good to hear mullet-man Meyrick Pringle on comms too. Used to bowl a sweet out-swinger.

 

[NUFAN]

Really love Masakadza as a batsman. He is underrated on the world stage..

Bad luck Zim, SA will take confidence in posting such a big total without contributions from Amal and abdv.

Yeah, nice and nonchalant when he gets going.

Win is good, Miller & JPD did good, top order not quite so... That uneasy feeling when watching Proteas play limited overs

That pitch for the first 15 to 20 overs wasn't as easy as it got after that.

It was sticking in the wicket and I think some of our batsman had the attitude of c'mon this is Zimbabwe. They didn't respect the wicket or the fact Zimbabwe were right up for it.

 

[Julian87]

Plenty of positives forZimbabwe.

 

[Daemon]

Behardien is rubbish. Definitely belongs in Heef's spud list.

 

[GGG]

Glad we are not in Zimbabwe's pool, would be nervous if I was a WI, Indian or Pakistan fan when it comes time to play them. I would be surprised if they don't win one of them.

 

[YorksLanka]
