Tahir is so annoying. He is celebrating like he has won the CWC, not just taken the wicket of a tailender.

The youngsters wouldnt last 5 deliveries in those conditions. These types of games need all the experience you can get. Even the SA new guys looked lost.
People have been focusing so much on the pace bowlers forgetting that Tahir is the number 1 bowler in ODIs. Which is why I think our batting order has to be restructured if we want to improve. I dont believe in settled batting lineups for minnows like us. We dont have batsmen with a complete skillset. We need to adjust in every single game we play. You have be innovative. Our 3 best players of spin(even though 2 of them fell victim to Tahir) shouldnt be facing the new ball at all. Its a waste of a wicket.
Send PJ at 3, Elton at 4 and Don at 5 if you need to. Low scoring games dont need an orthodox batting lineup. You dont need a finisher. If you bat 50 overs you win. The team that survives the most overs in those conditions wins. Simple as that.
