SA20 2024

[Molehill]

That stonis dismissal is hilarious.

Hitting the wicket and getting caught is next level.

 

[Aidan11]

Good review. Curran looked a gonner there.

 

[Aidan11]

MICT are collapsing.

 

[Heboric]

Pollard has been poor as captain.

Two games in a row with wonky decisions at the toss

MICT haven't had great pics as captain for the first 2 seasons.

65 runs in the last 5 overs help JSK to 168/3.

Let's see how Roy and Buttler go about chasing it.

 

[Aidan11]

Not very well it seems.

Why is this thing more important than an international tour to New Zealand?

Maybe because it pays a bit more?

The ruling from the SA board is that if you're signed up to play this, you don't get to tour NZ.

 

[Aidan11]

Harsh.

I guess the SA Board aren't that bothered about the WTC....

 

[Molehill]

Meanwhile, 34-3 after 2.4 overs is a ridiculous score. A shame Salt couldn't engage his brain a bit more.

It was the agreement CSA made with the franchise owners... All the SA players with a contract for the SA20 must be available for the competition

The **** up happened because when NZ put the tour together and CSA had a chance to adjust it, it was left too late. And when they asked NZ, NZ said no because of other commitments.

I guess they probably scheduled the NZ tour before they came to this agreement. Still, a strange call to make since it's in their benefit to prioritize an international tour.

I think the international calendar was out... But they could still have discussed and organised with NZ earlier.

Unfortunately the reality is that the short term profit from the SA20 is desperately needed due to the CSA mismanaged of it's finances over the last 10 years. However the obvious long term repercussions on SA cricket de-prioritizing Test cricket is probably going to be far worse

 

[Aidan11]

55/5

At least they've gone past their total in the previous game.

 

[Aidan11]

PC could win this despite their top order collapse.

Sunrises also having a shocker.

 

[trundler]

De Kock absolutely exploded in that over

 

[trundler]

That's incredible. 120 in the second half. That's some 30 runs more than what DSG would've been aiming for at the halfway stage. De Kock was a sight to behold once he got going and Klaseen is just unfair in these situations.
