Turning_track Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Big blow for the South Africans- Steyn out of the tournament, Ngini ruled out from the next match, though Amla will be back against India but fitness concerns already being raised.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 They way these pitches are , I wasn't expecting much from Steyn. He needs a bit of bounce and swing. Rabada is their man and he has to step up to take them far. nevada 1

Its a pity that a bowler like Steyn did not even play 150 ODIs. Too much responsibility for Rabada to take wickets while Pretorious & Morris will be asked to step up.

Forward Defence Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 It will be a gigantic embarrassment if India don't manage to win this now.

Amla has been useless for a while now as well. Hendricks would have been a much better option

Keeping Allan Donald out of a QF knock out match, going crazy in a rain affected match when sensible approach needs to be taken . I guess its a South African trait. 7 minutes ago, Singh bling said: They are badly missing Duanne Oliver. Indeed. Thanks to Kolpak- 43rd player from SA to sign the deal since 2003.

SA were masters at it In the match against BD they were behind all match. Let BD score runs freely and didn't seem to try hard to reclaim the upper hand. And the chase was also lackluster. Given the way their cricket board treats them, it wouldn't be too shocking if they took money to throw the game.

There is all motive to spice up Bangladesh cricket and now even Afghanistan with SL going down the drain

ICC hopeless as ever, they're just waiting for the storm to end. Even the SA board authorities have expressed their helplessness on this issue. Kolpak deal could've been done once & for all after Brexit date of 29th March 2019. But now it has been extended so expect a few more players to sign the deal in future.
