May be Faf should have missed ipl himself to inspire others.

Exactly. Why not set an example being a skipper like Michael Clarke did to lighten the workload before 2015 WC?

Yeah 60 overs that he bowled in IPL in 50 days made SA lose in WC.

Wish it was that simple as it looks .Go and watch Indian trainer interview .

So only SA players affected by the IPL? Not that they were any exceptional in IPL too. I hope the IPL franchisees kick out these losers at the first opportunity.

 

All those players who are leading scorers in WC2019 so far also had a great IPL this year...

 

Faf should re-think about his “processes” which he learned at CSK..,

Rabada was exceptional in IPL.

Tbf he didn't feature in many games whereas Rabada did. Frankly DD wouldn't have made it to semis without Rabada.

Like Rabada 200 overs in IPL. 60 overs spanning 50 days.

That is just mind games. Incepting the idea. Like when people say that they're not racist, and then say something racist. 

 

RSA have been proper tatti this tournament and his captaincy has been hopeless. Khud ko gaali thodi dega.

This is just one part and news made out of it .His post match interview is pretty good, where he is  blunt with low confidence etc etc 

[Turning_track]

Even an injury free Rabada bowling at his best with good pace couldn't have saved SA because you need collective team effort to win a WC which goes for about 7 weeks. Seems like Saffers have went on to the field without a proper gameplan & happy to go with the flow of the game. They have been that badly exposed in this tournament. Only silver lining is the emergence of Rassie Van Der Dussen.

[WC2011INDIA]

They will saddle Dussen with captaincy reaponsibilities sooner rather than later.

 

De Kock and Amla were the biggest culprits.

He is spot on.FAF is the biggest culprit.His batting never could lead his team, all his knocks were at best supporting role.No3 batsmen is supposed to carry his team when in form.

That just worked out so.

Would he have refused if he had been asked to feature in all games?

 

One can't say  yes to big bucks and ask the juniors to say no to the same bucks.

That is just stupid and wrong .

Click bait, trash article. Mostly out of context stuff posted in there!

SA have abused Rabada as they had abused ABDV in past.They could given him break for odi series at home.He is one world class player they have and they have ground him to death.

Rabada and Lungi were bowling with a lot of fire not too long ago.WTH happened to that ? Lungi looks injured most of the time.
