***Official*** Australia and South Africa in West Indies ODI Tri-Series

[StephenZA]

Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell vie for allrounder slot in South Africa eleven for tri-series opener | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
I hope they play both...

My team for the first game would be...
QDK
Amla
Faf
AB
Duminy
Rillee
Parnell
Morris
Rabada
Shamsi
Tahir

However I`m pretty sure Morkel will get in.. and I`m wondering if they will drop Rillee and bring Parnell into the top 6 considering he opened in domestic.

Abbott?

 

[StephenZA]

Abbott?

Yeah, depends if we want to play all of Rabada, Abott, Morkel and/or 1 or 2 spinners I`ve gone for Morris and Parnell for the longer batting line-up and looking towards future. I am not that bothered about this series; over-all I want to give the youngsters a chance.

When did the rain come? (surely not at the lunchtime, otherwise the target would be much higher surely)

I think once they went off they never came back on.

 

[Prince EWS]

What did Katwaroo do to merit selection? Are there no batsmen left in SA?

since when was Katwaroo South African?

Strong list A record for Katwaroo. Clearly has done the hard yards at domestic level.

Seems like they just borrowed a wicket keeper from the local side for the warm-up game. He's not in the squad, or even South African.

What can we expect from Parnell, i mean has he improved since he last played international cricket?

Yeah, I was joking. He has an absolutely atrocious list A record in Windies domestic cricket. Seems like a bloke who was near to the ground and in theory can keep.

Either that or the SA cricket team are trying to fudge their black player numbers

He had a fantastic domestic season, even opened the batting in the limited overs stuff and scored runs... so hence his return. Warm-up does not look go though... People felt a lot of his problems came from lack of game time, so I hope they play him the entire series and see if he gets mauled by WI and Aus.

The SA team actually looks decent. Strong Top 4 at least.

...Strong Top 4 at least.

Du Plessis won't play the first match.

Wow, no posts during the game yet.

Solid start by de Kock and Amla.

51/0 after 9

Good to see Behardien retaining his spot based on his stellar form in the IPL

 

[kingkallis]

Any channel showing this series in India?

 

[kingkallis]

de Kock and Ama back to pavilion. 52/2.

This will put some break on the scoring rate now.

Well it was him or Parnell.....
I would have preferred Parnell just to give him a chance after a good domestic season.

One of the most pointless series in a long time... wish we would just give the young guys some experience. Nobody really cares... and by the crowd WI seem non to bothered either.
