I thought Botha was cleared & can play again because if you are going to drop Boje i'd pick him over Peterson who isn't that special IMO.
Me too, thats the only time I have ever cheered on a team playing against SA.. I thought that each six would be another nail in RP's coffin and we'd never have to see him at the top level again..Mr Mxyzptlk said:
wordMr Mxyzptlk said:He sucks less than Peterson, and certainly in his last 15 ODIs.
An average of 31 and an economy of 4.20 is quite respectable for a spinner in ODIs, especially when he's capable of scoring hundreds.
Is they included Steyn in the squad?The Baconator said:

Your all things are rightArjun said:Strengths:Weaknesses:
- Balance. Versatility. Value addition. This side has lots of it.
- The strike bowling pair of Pollock and Ntini is very powerful, even on unhelpful pitches.
- Andre Nel is fast, aggressive and can surprise batsmen even here, with his power.
- Kallis' batting itself is a strength.
Opportunities:
- Some batsmen are easy targets.
- Among the multi-purpose blokes, Kallis doesn't bowl much (if he does), Justin Kemp has been out of action for long, while Andrew Hall is a mere bits-and-pieces selection.
- They don't have a quality spinner, and the one included may be a weak link. They may have to play an all-seam attack.
Threats:
- Four hundred third time over? They're playing at Mohali!
- They are likely to face Lanka, who can't handle pace too well.
- They will also face Pakistan, the unpredictable.
- The weather and pitches, even hard outfields (not Mohali) will go against them.
- Pakistan, after all, is unpredictable.
- Lankan spinners will relish bowling to them.
