Why do SA keep messing with the batting order?

Bizarre move to promote RVD. Makram should be 3.

How come SA didn’t recall Faf? The guy had a standout CPL and IPL

Aussie bowling looks handy as expected. Their batting line up is horribly out of form if SA can post something

That's good to know. I was starting to worry if we were gonna get a contest here.

These 2 are happy to take singles for now, but they’ve got to go for it soon if they’re to post a score that could be defendable.

Looks like repeat of WC2019 for SA here. Won't be surprised if they finished bottom 2 in this group.

The hype for this World Cup was at its peak pre tournament,now when the matches start it’s going to be very boring because of the pitches

It's low scores you're concerned about is it?

Unsurprisingly, Aus will rely on Maxwell and Smith to chase this down.

Does Marsh do well at three for one of his domestic teams? Seems an odd one to me.

SA could have defended 130 here. Oz battling looks well out of form. Finch n Warner just living on past reputations.

Unconvincing win.

Will be interesting to see if other teams struggle as much to score on these pitches.

You should obviously never have any issues chasing down less than a run a ball but South Africa do have a very good attack.

Lovely low scoring thriller to start the Super 12s.

Quality SA bowling attack as expected. Lots of teams, including SA and Aus, with not so great top orders.

Yep, Finch and Warner included on reputation alone. Warner's been in shit form for a long time now and Finch just returned from surgery and a lengthy absence. Aus could easily push Wade to open (or have brought Carey with) and shored up the middle order with Inglis or so. They'll be lucky to get out of this group - though it is Aus we're talking about.

South Africa seriously need to ban themselves from all world cups
Behave! We provide good entertainment at least :lol:
Getting the choking in early. This is the stage where they normally look imperious.
Nah, not choking this time. Anyone who's followed SA cricket the past couple of years, know we're on a downward trajectory, especially in terms of our batting. Our bowling lineup is still class, IMO. The selectors haven't helped themselves by not selecting Faf (he's not officially retired iirc) and Malan seemed promising. Yet we're stuck with Bavuma.

The team, especially the batting, lack any real quality. We could finish anywhere from positions 3-6 really :lol: but I'd guess more likely, we'll finish position 4 or 5.
