Rassie van der Dussen:
I probably would have batted as well. Its a great opportunity to rectify our mistakes from the last game. In the first ten overs we didnt do well with the ball but we did well in the second half of the innings. Nortje comes in for Coetzee and Nqaba Peter makes his debut.

Brandon King:
We are going to bat. It was difficult chasing in the last game. We did well in the last game but there are areas we can improve on. Just one change – Shepherd is in.

In reply to Narper

I like King's take on today's game..Very important that the team is able to make adjustments
as each game is different..wok on weak areas etc

Chase is a cricketer.Always thinking his game and situation awareness.
I always have time for him.
Still this WC squad even at full strength has to up its game .
