Play Duminy against minnows and Miller against everybody else?

 

[SeamUp]

Steyn ruled out of the world cup.

 

[StephenZA]

Steyn ruled out of the world cup.

Sadly that is probably end of his career. Sad ending really.

 

[SeamUp]

Beuran Hendricks called up.

 

[StephenZA]

Left-arm quick Beuran Hendricks has been called up as his replacement.

 

[SeamUp]

Sadly that is probably end of his career. Sad ending really.

Test retirement too you think ? Most probably.

An Allan Donald like end unfortunately.

 

[morgieb]

Very sad if this is the end. Really hope he comes back.

Yes, it has now become a recurring injury from bowling, could not take him into a Test.... end of career.

 

[SeamUp]

Our team is going to look like total dog **** for tomorrow

 

[Bahseph]

Phehlukwayo - Pretorious-Morris lads.

Probably win then.....

Maybe Rabada will pick himself up like he is known to do when the going gets tough.


And we have solved our batting deep problem!

 

[Rasimione]

The Dale Steyn era has come to a sad end.?

 

[Dendarii]

Same for Duminy who averages 37 at a good strike rate and has also offered some overs with the ball.

Has Duminy really been a reliable bowling option? He averages over 40, and it's been a long time since his average was in the mid to low 30s, which is where you'd want it to be for someone who's regarded as more than just a part-timer. I'm no longer convinced that he's as good a bowler as he's made out to be.

Every cloud...

So basically Morris has to play tomorrow to open with KG.

Do you play Shamsi or Pretorius. If we go 7 batsmen it will have to be Pretorius ?

 

[StephenZA]

I wonder what Olivier is thinking right now?

I would go Shamsi.

Let's not go there Stephen, I'm still not over Abbot.

 

[Dendarii]

If only Morkel had decided to just retire from tests...

 

[SeamUp]

Let's not go there Stephen, I'm still not over Abbot.

Abbo currently with the boys now at the Rose Bowl.
