De Villiers fit for England showdown
The 27-year-old De Villiers has been in sensational form, hitting back-to-back centuries against West Indies and the Netherlands, but additional wicketkeeping workload has been taking a toll on his body.
After his unbeaten match-winning century against West Indies in Delhi, De Villiers headed straight to the physio’s table, skipping the post-match press conference to get his back treated.
He made rich contribution to Thursday’s 231-run victory with his second successive century but the back problem flared up again, forcing him to hand over the wicketkeeping gloves to Morne van Wyk.
“AB has come through, his back is well and he will be fit for tomorrow’s match,” Smith told reporters at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
De Villiers will have to play a key role if South Africa are to put behind their three World Cup semifinal heartbreaks and gift Smith, who will quit as South Africa’s ODI captain after the tournament, a perfect farewell gift.
Smith said emotion was not running high in the dressing room.
“It’s not affecting us at all, things have been very normal in this squad, probably providing us a little more motivation for the guys, if anything,” he said.
“It was my personal decision, a decision I’m at peace with. I have been in the job for over eight years now which I think is a lot longer than most of the captains tend to last these days,” said Smith, whose serious tone was broken when a reporter’s mobile phone started ringing with a tone resembling a bleating goat.
“From my perspective, I’m very proud of what I have done and I want to give myself the best chance to finish off with a World Cup,” Smith said.
“I’m enjoying the experience, just want to have the opportunity rolled out at the end of the tournament and get on that aeroplane, proud of what I have been able to do. I’m at peace with the decision.”
Like i said hit the BALL
Only another 21 runs. HANG IN THERE BOYS. WE CAN DO IT.
Jeepers heart racing now. So close this. Very tense.
We getting closer to a win only 18 needed now. Just no losing any wickets that will be us done. Hang in there, we can do it.
You still alive Puma, hell this is the hard work a SA sports Fan must do.
15 runs needed now, we getting there slowly, but getting there.
@ superBul:154 – I am Super..hehehehe. You must know how much I have walked today from tv to pc? hehehehehe. Done my exercise for the day…hahahaha. After this will be going out, had enough sport for one weekend..hahaha. Never thought I would say that. Too much heart racing stuff this.
Heart in my throat now, just DON’T want to lose to England.
Ja agree after this i will dig up my garden, need to get my frustrations out. My wife have a supercharged garden man available in minutes
Partnership: 33 runs, 9.2 overs, RR: 3.53 (van Wyk 13, Steyn 17)
We only need 12 runs and there goes a wicket… DAMN we don’t have anymore batsmen left. DAMN, so close but so far still. Not sure if we will do it now.
Wish this was like rugby getting bonus point for ending so close……..hahahahahaha. If only 🙁
COME ON JUST HANG IN THERE. Damn have been up since 7am to watch this.
@ Puma:
Morne was disappointing to me, he kept on trying to lose his wicket that way
Well that is it Super. I just give up with our cricket team. We had this for the taking and throw it away, like we normally do. What a great pity.
Well done to England.
With that I am out of here Super. Going out now. Very disappointed in our team today.
Ireland 181/7 (42.5 ov)
Congrats to England, Blue Bird you dont deserve a congrats , only because you did not suffer trough this with us. 😀
We should have had players 6 , 7 and 8 to bat like Steyn. I think he scored more 4s than the whole SA team together.
Hi guys, I was just wondering whether the artichoke shouldn’t replace the King Protea as our national flower….
@ fender:
This hurts more than my Bulls team loss. That one i expect. This was like a deer in the bloody headlights. When Steyn attacked them we nearly pulled it of.
Its really amazing that we consistently stumble at the first sign of adversity. And it does not matter whether we have an experienced team (1996, 1999) or an inexperienced one as is the case now. What is it about being favourites that buckles the SA mindset so? Can we only play without pressure or when we really up against it and nobody gives us a hope of winning?
nee hel hoe het dit gebeur ????
Before the man who dismissed him today had even been born, SRT scored 2133 runs in 55 internationals, with 3 tons
Toe ek verslaap Saterdag ,my self raak skeer amper die hond dood ry en vyf minute voor my afslaan tyd by die golfbaan aankom en boonop agterkom ek het my beursie by die huis vergeet ,moes ek weet nie baie dinge gaan vir my reg uitwerk die naweek nie ,na die slegste ronde golf in omtrent twee jaar het ek uitgesien na die T V en die sport wat vir my wag ,maar o wee wat n teleurstelling ,hoop net Rory kan vanaand vir my daai silver randjie gee waarna ek so uitsien.
Flok, ek stem toe mos in om laatmiddag en vroegaand vanaand saam met Handbriekie na die Divas Show te gaan kyk by Carnival City…
Nou kom ek stel dit sommer prontuit, ek kyk liewers hoe verloor die Bulls en hoe choke die Proteas.
Neewat, wat ‘n simpel spul, die klank was woes en leeg, die sangeresse amateuragtig en die flippen ding het so lank aangegaan dat my boude lateraan nie meer lekker wou sit nie….
… een van die sangeresse vra toe mos die gehoor om op te staan en saam te sing… toe staan ek ook maar op… om my seer boude te vryf terwyl ek kon….
Hehehe
PS! Wat ‘n swak naweek… die rugby het gesuig, my SuperBru het harder gesuig, die Proteas het gehoes, geproes en gechoke…. en ek moes na stront luister.
Barra Bing Ting Ting!
(By the way ek sit more vir ons audio op oor die Stormers / Cheetahs After Match Presser en ook oor die Bulls / Landers Presser)
