Ballance has failed each time up front; as has been the case on a number of occasions this season Taylor's lack of footwork wasn't exploited; Waller has been downright poor; Cremer should have stayed away but at least he has the laughable excuse of his injury! The brainless Benade capping that team's allround pathetic display. No doubt Vusi's great presence would've helped, not to mention shortening that tail, and Rainsford's exclusion worked to their disadvantage - a sure 230 total! Vincent should've stepped aside for a young local batsman a few games back! Incensed me when Horton handed it to them! Probably fitting that they've followed the poor Rocks out of the tournament!
Once againt the superb Matsi misses out on a deserved MoM award. Didn't think four wickets (including Riki&Ballance) made it a big three deserving of the award! More discrimination in my opinion!
Did you guys see Dizzy chase Johno out of the Rocks changing rooms? Way I saw it, the scene which threatened to throw itself out didn't exactly look harmless from a distance! crazy!
Jemisi, have you learned nothing so far? As I've always said, many players have gone into the national team this season on the back of none existant or unconvincing records, so I don't think anybody should downplay his chances for any format, especially the ODIs since he's excelled in domestic List A. After that think of Ncube, he played well in the ODi and bought himself a ticket into the Test team. Waller is going through a bad run since the FC game against the mighty Tuskers. Another bad game in the Rhinos' next FC&List A matches, plus a poor return in the tour game in NZ, then one of the extra batsmen may just get his spot.
Trying to think the best of your comments here H... Are you trying to
predict what it will take to get Matsi back in and since he has had a couple of good knocks has done enough assuming a flavour of the month selection policy?
I am not predicting, just judging that Matsi has only done possibly enough for a T20 chance. Not ODI and certainly not the Test side.
