Morris for Dwaine Pretorius will be a talking point.

To a certain extent, Amla and Reeza Hendricks.

Maybe Morris instead of Nortje as well. Already have 3 quicks :unsure:

Amla selection is laughable but so is SA chances of winning so does it really make any difference :lol:

Great selection of Amla as he has a good record on English pitches. He will be the leading light of the Protea team.

Amla I think very lucky - current form obviously not a factor - I hope he does prove me wrong though ....

Where I don't agree with the selectors is the selection of Nortje - Morris imo as good in the bowling department and also is a death bowler and always a threat with the bat when 50 is needed in the last few overs - I'd have Morris in my team any day before Nortje ....

I have started to play doubles into the top batsmen for the CwC... I only see one winner :) Steve Smith @ 16/1... I think the bookies have forgotten how good he is.. He is finally starting to come back to form and just in time for the showpiece. Australia should atleast get into the semi final, so he will only have one innings less than the Indian and English batsmen. 16/1 is a great price....

What a game between CSK and RCB. Dhoni oh so close. Needing 26 of the last over, Dhoni made 24 and run out of the last ball when needing 2 to win.

Was a great finish... Imo, they would of won if he had taken the singles in the 19 over... Hind sight though....

Dhoni showed he still has it - but not taking the singles when on offer really not clever - like the Stormers giving up a certain 3 points in favor of a scrum :dry:

And Hash's dismal domestic form continues,,for such a great player this is sad to see. I have a feeling Hash might withdraw from the squad to be with his family before the WC.I also believe that Nortjie is injury prone and might breakdown during the WC,wonder if Morris might get to play after all.

Steyn's shoulder has flared up again at the IPL. Returning home for a treatment.

Hmmmm. Morris might still get a chance!
