Albie has improved bowling wise. If he continues his level, I am sure he will be rated higher. Am certainly liking the improved Albie a lot.

Annoyingly, his domestic stats seem to indicate he's being tried out in the wrong form of the game. I guess they don't really need a batting allrounder in the test team with Kallis there, but he'd be an interesting option to bat 7 or 8 if they really did open the batting with Johan Botha in the subcontinent.

Agree about his bowling though. Although, as I'm typing this, he's getting belted. I don't know why he's bowling at the death, he clearly isn't suited to it.

Had to give one of those run outs eventually. This has been a pretty good recovery by the West Indies though. Still 60-40 South Africa I'd say, but we've got a contest now.

I was looking at his stats too, nothing too impressive in the List A arena, but as you said, SA don't really need another batting all-rounder, but with pollock retiring, there might be a small window open - doubt it though, not a good enough bowler. But I think he needs to take the step up now. He played and did well against Zimbabwe and those Asia/Africa XI games, but other than that, nothing all that much of note.

Hoping that he is going to be the next Klusener.

What a name to mention, maybe some post WC fall out. Not much of an AR, injury limitng his bowling and SA have better batsmen than him - was never a fan of his.

Good recovery by Morton and Sammy which allowed Sammy a 50 on debut. Maybe he'll take another 5fer like he did against England.

Haha, did my part in convincing a mate to bet on Sammy making a 50. Pretty much gave him spot on $100.

Smith departs! Awesome. Is Taylor injured? Not a big Powell fan tbh. Reckon Edwards and Sammy'll go good-guns.

Fidel Edwards getting brilliant late swing, bowling fast and beating Kallis because of the swing. So awesome to watch.

Love the way Smith got out. Wide ball outside off, pretty much tries to on-drive it. Pwned yourself son.

Haha Edwards! Yesssssss. Such a gun limited-overs bowler. Horrible shot by AB, but good ball all the same. Kallis and Duminy in. May as well be Prince and Amla. Get 'em all out Windies!

EDIT: Catch by Samuels mind. A lot harder than it looked. Reckon Edwards will own Duminy.
