South Africa is playing the Aussies tomorrow and is likely to loose their first match.   The Proteas are unlikely to be as bad as they were n the 2019 CWC - but I do not give them a snowballs  hope in hell chance to get through to the play-offs.    There are too many weak links in the squad - so a disaster can be expected.

Mike…you cannot, after all this time typing in English, tell me that you still don’t know when to use is and when to use are. Plural - The Proteas “are” going to win. Singular - A Protea “is” a weird looking plant.

”I never said the Proteas is likely to loose(sic) their first match….that’s a lie from the Viledge  udiots”

I hope you're wrong Mike and it needn't go that way if Boucher had righted the ship by making good selections. A specialist middle order batsman is what the team lacks, AB would have filled that hole so why not Faf Du Plessis, he is available, has the experience and has performed well at the highest level, the most recent IPL. 

My team would have been.....

Janneman Malan vs Reeza Hendricks

Aiden Markram

Temba Bavuma

Faf Du Plessis vs Klaaaasen

Dave Miller

Quinton De Kock

Wiaan Mulder

George Linde or Shamsi

Rabada

Nortje

Maharaj

It's not world class but it's a competitive side that meets with the transformation mandate.

‘I hope you're wrong Mike and it needn't go that way if Boucher had righted the ship by making good selections’.

Oh dear you’ve tripped over your tenses….do you need my help or can you spot the problem?

So the batting in the first match was a disaster.       Whenever De Kock fail - the whole batting line-up fold  up and surrender as well.    The fact is the team is a weird combination of failures,   They elft malan in SAQ and Baviuma opens the batting - that is a weird issue already.    

I think Boucher is going to be out of the coaching position sooner than most people think.   He is a serious  and embarrassing flop as Head Coach.

Can you believe this pompous ignoramus. De Ock totally let’s the team down and he has the team letting down de Ock….the only Protea team member who never even tried to be an adult.

Entirely perplexing as to why we developed a winning formulae with slower bowling, saw its benefits leading up to and including the Sri Lanakan series, and then went another way against Oz. Bavuma continues to bat like a last minute stand-in. Quintie is unreliable and Rassie seems incapable of batting when it matters too. At least they finally seem to have realised that Markram is a 4-5. No idea why Klaasen is there when he isn’t keeping.
