Should have opened the bowling instead of Parnell.

 

Ya let them score easy 40-50 runs.

 

Morkel is a champ. Knew his bounce will give them hard time.

We need Goosy to make a prediction here.  Where you at @goose

hate to be dull but not having watched a single ball i'd say 65/35 in Pak's favour.

Rain seals it for the Pak I think.  Full game and they would have out-choked the saffers.

They almost lost a wicket in the 20th over, which would have put them 10 runs behind par on DL method. They are 4 runs ahead now.

Still a wicket here can keep pak in trouble. Tahir bowling really well. Someone needs to do the same from the other end. Also need a wicket.

 

DL is too forgiving to chasing teams unless you lose wickets.   SA need to gamble with Morkel or Rabada now.

Yep, keep Tahir one end and bring Rabada for few overs. Keep one deep Fine leg for the short ball and one Deep backward Point fielder for the short ball on off.

We all know it, but ABDV thinks otherwise.  He let this partnership develop instead of going for the kill with proper field placements.  SA are just too stupid to win from tough situations.

Honestly, ABD is kind of wierd. I won't call him an extremely bad captain because he does do good at times and manages his players well at times like his captaincy was brilliant in the last game against lanka, in fact it was his captaincy which got them back in the game when lanka was cruising. But them AB is so inconsistent in his captaincy that he often won't use the same scenario and logic against certain teams like he delayed it today.

 

Inconsistent captain who knows how to win matches but just fickle minded. Thinking too much right now, should just go with his gut feeling. This is something to do with him goingng in an out of the team because of injury I feel. If he captains south africa regularly, might be better then.

Naaah dude.  He's a very poor captain.  Was horrible in WC 2015.  Put his own team under pressure by claiming they weren't practising hard enough.  Consistently makes poor tactical decisions.   Hardly ever is pro-active with field or bowling change.   Sometimes the best players don't make the best leaders.

Rain or no rain, Pak has it in the bag.

 

Rabada has been a little disappointing.

 

Only if you expected too much.  He's like a pre-2014 Yadav.  Pacy, but tends to spray and  leak a bit of runs.

i was expecting good pace from him but was just about hitting 141 in an odd delivery, others pretty slow no speed reading
