Emerging Players Tournament 2009

Badrinath announced as captain of the India Emerging Players squad.
It's a decent squad, but some of the players are not 'Emerging Players', but full reserves. There are three (or more) all-rounders in the squad, as well as three strike bowlers who can score a few. This should be a good platform for Amit Mishra to make his place in the ODI squad. Pragyan Ojha and Ravi Jadeja should have been here; they could use this tournament to improve. There are a few extras out here, from whom nothing may be expected.
Ideally, these should be the selections-

The South African Emerging squad jets off to Australia next week to take part in a quadrangular limited-overs tournament and the team’s coach Corrie van Zyl is looking forward to the challenge.
While the Proteas are currently enjoying a well deserved break from international cricket the Emerging squad will test their skills against teams from India, New Zealand and Australia in the fifth edition of the Emerging Players’ 50-over tournament.
The South African squad leaves for Australia on July 17 and they will be hopeful of improving on last year’s performance when they finished a disappointing fourth.
The team will be captained by Highveld Lions’ batsman Vaughn van Jaarsveld while the bowling attack will be spearheaded by left-arm swing bowler Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
Both players represented South Africa at full international level during the past season and Van Zyl believes that Van Jaarsveld and Tsotsobe’s presence in the team, along with a smattering of other senior players, will be vital during the tournament.
“It is important that you have players like those two (Van Jaarsveld and Tsotsobe) because they bring experience and know how from their time with the national team that they can pass on to the younger guys.
“It’s not just those two though, a guy like Henry Davids is important and Thandi Tshabalala is going on his fourth trip and their experience is important because you can’t just have young guys in the team,” Van Zyl told SuperCricket.
Van Zyl was at pains to point out that the side is not an A side but is made up of players that will benefit from the chance to compete in an international tournament.
“Although there are a few experienced guys in the team it is not an A side. The whole purpose of a tournament like this is to give the young guys an opportunity to gain experience of an international competition,” he explained.
The team may not be an A side but there are a number of players in the team that impressed during the recently concluded South African domestic season and it is only a matter of time before they are pushing for higher honours.
Nineteen-year-old Eagles’ batsman Rilee Rossouw showed that he is a batsman with a bright future while the fast bowling pair of CJ de Villiers and Juan “Rusty” Theron both showed glimpses of their potential during the season.
One of the more interesting selection conundrums facing Van Zyl is how he utilises the Dolphins’ leg-spinning wicketkeeper Daryn Smit.
“We have two keepers in the squad, with Heino Kuhn being the other, and I think Daryn is a very good leg-spinner but he is also a very good keeper. He would like to do both at the moment but I think eventually he will have to choose one or the other.
“If you look at the squad, we don’t have many spinning options so if Daryn does not play as a keeper he could play as a bowling all rounder,” Van Zyl said.
Van Zyl’s job will be made all the more difficult by the relatively unknown calibre of their opposition.
“We have received the teams that we are playing against but we don’t know much about them. Some of our guys may know them from Under 19 competitions and we will know some of the Indian players from the Indian Premier League (IPL),” he said.
One of the added bonuses of playing in the tournament is that South African players and coaches will be able to get a look at players that they may well meet in the full international arena in a few years’ time and the South African team intend to make full use of the opportunity.
“We will be taking a video analyst with us to get footage of the opposition because a guy like Jesse Ryder played in the tournament before,” Van Zyl explained.
New Zealander Ryder has gone on to establish himself as one of world cricket’s most entertaining, if erratic, batsman.
There are a few names in the opposition teams that will be familiar to South African cricket fans. Australia’s team includes all rounder Moises Henriques and batsman Robert Quiney, who both played in the IPL, while New Zealand has picked two men with test match experience in batsman Peter Fulton and fast bowler Tim Southee.
As Van Zyl alluded to, India’s team is chockfull of players that took part in the IPL with batsman Virat Kohli, leg spinner Amit Mishra all rounder Abhishek Nayar and left-arm quick Pradeep Sangwan being some of the potential stand-out performers.
South Africa play their first game, against New Zealand, on July 20 in Brisbane with the final scheduled for August 1 in Brisbane.

They had a live scorecard of the Aus vs India T20 (India won) on cricket.com.au but they don't have the NZ vs SA game. They do however have the NZ One Dayer which is on tomorrow.

Another missed runout; AIS now 252/5 after 45.1. So a score of close to 300 likely.
Most of the NZ bowlers with fairly mediocre figures though obviously could be a bit better if the catches were held. How the chase goes will probably depend a lot on whether Tait scares the bejesus out of the top order and knocks them over, or alternatively gives away double figures of extras.

AIS 300/6 off 50 overs. S Smith managing to be everywhere at the moment, dealing with China kidnapping a Rio executive, the Jakarta bombings and now taking the time out to hit 125 no off 114 in this match. (lame joke, I know)
Southee once again showing that he is eminently hittable in limited-overs with 2/74 off ten overs, even when Sehwag is not at the other end.
Highlights including:
Over 48.5: Wagner to Smith, no run, OUT, mangan runs into the bowler who in turn runs him out, interesting wicket AIS arent to pleased
Awesome

Pretty funny passage of play this:
Over 2.5: Duval to Fulton, SIX, FREE HIT! straight back over the bowlers head into the creek
Over 2.4: Duval to Fulton, no ball, great delivery, bounce and pace had Fulton in all sorts
Over 2.4: Duval to Fulton, four byes, cuts Fulton in half and trails away from Wade
Over 2.3: Duval to Fulton, no run, played and missed outside off stump, good carry to Wade
Over 2.2: Duval to Watling, no run, OUT, great line and length from DUVAL draws an edge. easy catch by Cooper gets AIS off to a great start

From that commentary and a bit more, it looks like Fulton has middled all of one ball so far (the free hit six) and otherwise been awful, playing and missing and getting edges.
This reminds me of last time I saw him play for NZ - have been a big fan (and annoyed about how the selectors have treated him) but am starting to think his window to establish himself in the national team is gone, similar to Sinclair. His foot movement in recent times has just been awful.
