Cricket season

I know its international cricket, but it will take a game or 2 to get back to top gear.. lets remember, more than half of our team have not been on the field for a while. Only AB, Amla, Morris, Rabada and Tahir really got games in the IPL, Miller and Du Plessis played 2 and 3 games early in the tournament and have been sitting on the bench.. England have had a couple warm up games, so should rightly have been the "more ready" team.. Give the boys a match or 2 and they will be firing again...

Karma wrote: Agreed, we shouldnt have lost that game, but will refrain from having a go at Miller + Morris, I I feel did well to get us in that position. I will (like Naresh) have a go at Berhardien. I truley feel that had he not walked into bat, we would have strolled in... You get selected as a "finisher". You come into bad needing not too many, but still a fair amount.. you face just over 4 overs and have a strike rate of 68 putting more pressure on the others...

To be fair to the man, he is a good domestic player, but he is NOT an international player by any means.

I believe that the winners are more likely to be England but any of those other 3 mentioned can do it. SA will choke as per usual, unrest in the Aussie camp, India are shit scared of fast bowling and Pakistan blow cold far too often. Bangladesh may surprise and reach the semis.
