QdK doesn't need confidence. His record destroys Buttler's and he's considered a top player. Qdk is like a consistent version of Buttler. It's actually quite frightening how good he actually is. Wish Aus had a keeper half as good as QdK

did buttler **** your girl?

 

[mackembhoy]

I don't think a player with the average QdK has despite his 100/innings ratio can be called consistent.

He averages 43 are you on crack?

And he has 12 centuries in 70 games. So he scores centuries at an absurd rate but only has a good-very good average which is Furball's point

 

[StephenZA]

QDK was inconsistent for the first 2 years of his career, since, as he matured, avg'ed 49 for the last 2 years consistently scoring 50's and hundreds.

He was joint fastest to 1000 ODI runs, so he was hardly inconsistent in his first 2 years surely?

2015 was his worst year.

2013 45
2014 41
2015 31
2016 57
2017 42

No he's just over-rated, not in terms of talent but in actual run scoring which is what matters.

He scored some big runs against India, including 3 100's but he was an all or nothing type player, he then went through a bad period and was actually dropped. Since coming back against England in SA he has been far more consistent. hence why he avg 49 for the last 2 years...

Oh yes, his average and strike rate is dreadful isn't it considering the role he plays in the team.

 

[Howe_zat]

de kock got a blob today.

In other news, South Africa's wicketkeeper-batsman was out for 0.

 

[S.Kennedy]

260 odd for 7. That is not too shabby from Northants.

 

[SeamUp]

This SA ODI side is still a WIP even with our impressive unbeaten run. Will be exciting to see how the all-rounders go this tour.

Some nice time out in the middle for Hash, Faf, Dave.

Northants going along well enough.

 

[mackembhoy]

South Africa nearly shocked by a number 9 making his debut.

England are waiting

 

[S.Kennedy]

Northants made a decent fist of it it seems. Seems like it was a good game.

 

[SeamUp]

QDK
Amla
Faf
Duminy
ABdV
Miller
2 off Morris/Pretorius/Phehlukwayo/Parnell
Rabada
Morkel
Tahir

And looking at that line-up SA have once again got the problem of finishing. All of Faf, Duminy, Miller tend to want at least 2-3 overs before going big. Of the allrounders Morris is the only one who seams to strike from ball one, maybe Phehlukwayo? Parnell and Pretorius need overs.

This leaves us only ABdV as a consistent finisher... thus meaning we leave our best batsmen out of the top 4.....Unless SA trust Duminy, Miller, Morris to finish off the innings.

Pretorius is rank 4 for me at this minute.

Morris is rank 1.

With Morkel coming back it makes you have to chose between Parnell/Phehluwkayo & I'm not sure at this moment. Would be nice to see them both and who grabs their chance stays but can't afford that now.

Agree 100%... Morris should play. Parnell batting has come a long way but is h a late order hitter? I rate Phehluwkayo better there, but Phehluwkayo is not a wicket taker like Parnell could be?

Maybe play both Parnell and Phehluwkayo for ODI series against Eng, to determine team for Champions?

 

[91Jmay]

I know he is quick but George Garton is an eye raiser. Has done nothing at senior level yet.

 

[vogue]

Anyone on here going to any of the ODI's ? The tests even?
