Warm ups for World Cup

Niall

International Coach
Someone said to me Faf may have peaked in the Zimbabwe tour when they beat Australia. He may have a point, ODI cricket seems to be his weakest format especially when you drill down his rather mediocre numbers.

Nah. If you weren't on boared the Boult train early doors (when the WC squad was announced) you're a hater, plain and simple. How could you seriously doubt the great man a place in this team objectively?

I'm still going with the 'false sense of security' theory...

Just sticking with the pessimism that has served me so well over the years.

Yeah, it's so obvious now that Henry is just a useless hack & we were all trolled into thinking that 21 wickets @ 15 with an ER less than 5 was good. How could we have been so stupid.

Ah Mills.
For the 5000th time, Mills was always going to be in the squad since he's the incumbent & one of our ATG one-day bowlers. I believe the battle was always going to be between Boult & Henry which is why I keep referring to Henry. It's purely hypothetical to say Henry wouldn't have bowled as well.

FTR - I'm pleased with the way Boult has bowled in the last few weeks, but let's not make out he's been a world-beater at ODI level just yet. Both he and Mills have been equally impressive in the lead-up games to date.

Actually I believe SA is just messing around and hiding their stuff, no Amla and no Steyn.

Not much point in us biting tbh. Howsie will bring this up everytime Boult gets a wicket for the whole tournament.

Nah, this is a super serious match that all the players are 100% invested in. And what a sorry show from the Saffers. Don't really know how they're even going to be motivated to turn up for the World Cup after this. Might as well just go home.

Warm-up game & resting key players or not, they certainly wouldn't want to be destroyed by 100 runs from a confidence perspective.
