is de kock not gona bat? 

 

 

Sri Lanka opted to bowl in the World Cup warm-up against South Africa in Cardiff. Captain Dimuth Karunaratne felt that there would be some assistance for his seamers early on, while Faf du Plessis was happy to have a bat. Although both teams are allowed to field all 15 members of the squad, Sri Lanka were a player short, with Lasith Malinga yet to join the squad. South Africa, too, were resting Quinton de Kock and Dale Steyn.

Amla looked good, I think Markram is going to be back on the bench for at least the first two games.

 

meanwhile, Virat shows you how things work at the top. Pant cleans up in IPL, doesn't get selected because you know Dhoni and then gets the supporting role in this piece of cinematic gold.

that was first announced about 3 days ago.

 

I'm going to go for Morris to start, which is quite extraordinary considering he has been in the wilderness since Feb2018 and numerous other bowlers were tried this summer.

“The semi final was one of those heart-breaking days that nobody will ever forget. It was a cricketing mishap. Lance and I have known for many years that people will never stop talking about for as long as we live, and probably for years after we’re gone. But that’s what the pressure of the World Cup brings, things like that happen, it’s the brutality of that pressure.”
