Supersport Preview
A consistent South Africa will have a clear edge over the unpredictable West Indies in Thursday’s Group B match at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.
One of the best teams never to have won a World Cup, South Africa’s aspirations could be gauged from the fact that they have packed three frontline spinners of different styles for the World Cup in the region where the tweakers thrive most.
At the same time, they have contemporary cricket’s deadliest pace pair in Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel, one who thrives on pace while the other prefers bounce to torment the batsmen.
“There is always a place for genuine pace. I don’t think anybody likes to face people who bowl at 155 kph. If someone tells you they enjoy it, they are lying to you,” skipper Graeme Smith said.
They have a formidable line-up with Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla as the batting mainstays.
In contrast, twice champions West Indies lack the depth or variety of their opponents but in Chris Gayle, they have a player who can turn a game on its head on his day.

Good win by SA, man of the match must be AB de Villiers , but i wont mind if Imran Tahir gets it. Now for the presentations.
305@ superBul:
Die vraag is eintlik wie like ek die minste…
Aan die een kant wil ek graag die Leeus sien verbeter, aan die anderkant wil ek hê die Sotrmers moet verloor om die Bulle se kanse om bo te eindig in die SA Conference makliker te maak… dan nog verder dink ek as die Leeus weer verloor gaan dit hulle confidence knou en miskien moet dit maar gebeur.
Ek dink ek hou effe meer van die Stormers as van die Leeus…
Maak nie eintlik saak nie.
@ grootblousmile:
hahahaha ek voel ook so, laat hulle maar mekaar uitsort.
312@ superBul:
Iemand GAAN ons netnou vloek…. hehehe
312@ superBul:
Wie pick jy hierdie naweek in die Six Nations… vir my is dit Wallis, Engeland en Ierland
Ek dink ook Engeland gaan wen teen die Froggies. Die ander weet ek net dat Mallet se span dit nie gaan maak nie. Hy is seker naby sy einde daar in Italy
oh well I dont know what you ou’s were worried about….we walked that 😉
315@ superBul:
Boobs & All behoort interessant te wees vanaand… en ook daai Reunion Rugby show vanaf daai flokkers doer annerkant.
316@ 4man:
Was’nt worried, not after the meagre total of the Windies… just wanted AB to get his ton…. hehehe
Gaan jou Tjarks die Blues moer die naweek?
@ grootblousmile:
Sallie hulle moer nie…maar ek se n wen by 7.
319@ 4man:
Ek het ook die Tjarks gepick met 7 op Bru
Reunion is on at 19:00 on SS1… Boobs & All at 20:30
@ grootblousmile:
Ja…..Die Blues laaik om die Sharks te speel hulle laaik ook vir Durban….dit is baie soos Auckland…..en die mense is vriendelik met hulle.
Ook ek dink die NZ spanne gaan hard speel want hulle sukkel as a Nasie op die oomblik met die aardskuddings enso.
322@ 4man:
The Cross-conference games are interesting… and to me that’s what Super Rugby is about.
It is nice to see a Top SA side play a top NZ or Aussie side… wait a minute… the Sharks is not a top SA side…. hehehe
@ 4man:
Dink ook daai manne van NZ gaan n nasiebou poging aanwend. Sharks sal weet hulle is in n game Saterdag. Hulle hou nooit op nie.
India stay on top of Group B on Net run rate, but we have a real long way to go before that begins to matter
Cheers vir eers…. need to go eat.
