Not about tits. It is about a bowler studying an opposition. DeKock is strong on his pads and weak outside off. So why bowl him on his pads or down leg? Whether you are a tits, mits, shits same common sense. They al looked like "shits" today.

Samuels, Bravo, Polly, Narine, McCoy, Sammy would have bowled with enough variation to not get CONSISTENTLY BLUDGEONED like that. RunsTruck Russell, Badree, Gayle and Dr Smith maybe not.

But that’s a “would have” for what that’s worth

But that was such poor bowling and ‘probably’ comes back to the mental side of the game. Bowling intensity wasn’t here because ‘maybe’ they were complacent after that mammoth WI score.

We may never know. We just need to back ourselves big grin

So who did WI make 258 against.....bowlers from Hong Kong????
The Saffie bowlers were also slaughtered by WI batsmen.
I am not saying they couldn't defend that total...but on that flat pitch with top class Saffie batsmen...they also slaughterd our bowlers....that's T20 cricket

After the 1st innings

I told my uncle, "I hope we can defend this"

It was a strange feeling to have, but......

It was a fantastic match...
and yes I was fully aware that SA still had to bat.



SA has chased down big scores before and it usually means one of them did something previously not done...

yesterday we got DeKock...his first T20 ton...after alllll these years...he chose that match to get it.

Was entertaining and WE ALL KNOW OUR BOWLERS AINT ALL NAME A J .

S A did very well to chase down that total of almost 13 runs per over.

Cricket won...but it does suck that we didnt pull off a 2 zip.

Why Alzari Joseph was not in the second match ? He is our best bowler in all versions of cricket. Housein needs to be dropped for the last match . The captain must understand that Mayers is a good bowler whom he did not use at all.

We got murdered as simple as that,it was like freeness for Saffie batsmen.Someone mentioned complacency.
