The Golden Rule....

almost found favour judging by AB's comments.

De Villiers then drove the penultimate ball for four to give South Africa their 12th consecutive ODI victory.

"It was a fantastic game of cricket. It was very tight out there and i did not expect the wicket to turn that much at night. I thought the wicket would skid on a bit but this really surprised me," said De Villiers at the post match press conference.

Wehe!

Oops was the golden rule broken again?

What do you think of AB as captain, Denny? His usage of the bowlers is sometimes wanting, I think Faf is a better captain but let AB just concentrate on being the fantastic batsmen that he is.

 Faf should be ODI captain....and the breaking of "the rule" nearly cost us. Andile should have been MOTM, he raked it out of the coals for us in the end. AB was quite prepared to take singles when boundaries were needed. Even giving the strike to Andile in the last over....we were fortunate to win this one and AB basically conceded that choosing to bowl first was a mistake.

 "Daddy...Faf is the man, he has the presence of a Captain, the players sense it, they respond, they grow in confidence, they'll walk on hot coals for him ....AB doesn't have those gifts.

 Well Moz, not really, but it was close. You have to feel for the battered blithering Buffoon working himself into a frenzy for that one golden moment  to say..."see, I told you"......but for now, still no cigar.....just .....egg.
