I particularly felt for Ashwell Prince as I view him as one of the best to have represented our country. There's plenty to work on from that point of view. I agree with you regarding CSA. I've taken to referring to them as the Carelessly Silly Administrators given how things have gone in recent years. That said I am hoping that this new group will rise to the challenge of winning back our trust by showing us that they are competent and capable of running the game, otherwise headhunting Smith to help their reputation would prove to be a colossal waste of time and money. The person I have been most impressed with this past week has been Temba Bavuma. He has handled this incredibly well and shown immense leadership and diplomacy when it has been most needed. I can see why Quinny spoke so highly of him in his statement. England will be a big challenge but perhaps for once our guys can play with freedom given that most of us don't see them progressing past the group stage and score an unlikely upset victory over the Poms. I will still be keeping my fingers crossed that the Aussies somehow slip up against one or both of Bangladesh and West Indies but I'm not counting on it. Temba deserves credit for sure, I pity any captain that has to sit in a post-match conference and field questions about his employer in stead of his team’s performance on the day. He showed great leadership indeed. I hope he can start converting all of his 40-49 scores into 50+, for his own confidence and also for the sake the team. Playing with freedom could be our biggest advantage. justinafrika and Mntboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemmerbal Posted November 3, 2021 Share nothing, I repeat, NOTHING will give me greater pleasure than seeing India not qualify for the semi's...

Dusty Posted November 4, 2021 Share Here's wishing Bang and WI everything of the best in their games against AUS. Gayle needs a retirement century and it would be perfectly timed for SA if it happened against AUS????

(well, maybe some things, but that is R rated and this is a family show ) India can still make it. If AFG can beat NZ, then big wins by Ind over scotland and nam (like 70 runs). three big iffs there though, in other news it would be great is BAN can pull one over against AUS right now. losing a wicket in first over not a good start though.

BAN beat Aus (B team mostly) 4-1 in a home T20 series last month. they're 62/6 currently, so looks like it's rather the Windies we'll need a favour from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted November 4, 2021 Share One thing that stands in our favour is that we will know exactly what is required from us before the first ball is bowled in our match as their match concludes just before ours starts.

It is almost certain that we will have to klap the Poms properly in order to stand a chance of finishing in the top 2. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
