We won the first T20 with 5 balls to spare...in the second over of the second match...9-1
India batting.

The SA girls won 4 of the 5 ODI's and in India to boot and that is a great achievement. Wonder who their coach is - maybe they should replace the present bumbling coaching lot of the men with them.
We won!

I don't suggest changes when players are performing - only when in cricket they suffer from the dreaded 6/1 malady.
Any batsman who suffers a form slump in his early to mid thirties is a different proposition to one who suffers one in his mid 20's.
The Protea women are a pleasure to watch, the way they go about constructing an innings as well as their composure coupled to an abundance of skills is stunning. The fact that they are missing a couple of star players and have a stand in captain underscores their brilliance .

Amla was terribly poor in internationals played at the end of 2018 and in January 2019 - and his averages dropped faster than jet speed, In the WC in 2019 he was a mess as well and he then retired from cricket at the age of 36.
As Dave said a drop in form is never recovered at that age - partly because deficient eye-hand co- ordination is not recoverable.
Amla should not have been selected to play in the WC.......it was a poor error of judgement, CSA would have been better served with an aspiring much younger batsman with the next WC in mind.
In the washup it was opportunity wasted.
PS: I was using the term "girls" in the same sense as when you cheer on your team mates in a rugby match: "Come on boys, we can do this!" or "Our boys did us proud by winning the world cup."...and they most certainly are gritty women .
