Is this score good, indifferent or like the Stormers?
@ Bullscot:
Good point… it could come down to cameo performance by one batsman… Aussies are not playing Warner… interesting that the Aussie spinners are doing well so far so maybe Tahir will hold the key… if the ball becomes slippery he will have a hard time though as u said.
With the run rate so low would rather have sent Albie Morkel in to give him as many overs possible to try lift the run rate. Hopefully Miller proves me wrong. Time to feed my tribe, GO PROTEAS!

Hope Morkel can stick around with De kock.
Unplayable delivery by Hogg.
De Kock gione. Not worth watching.
Cheers everyone if up early will blog during the Cheetahs game otherwise will be here for the next game.

Weet nie wie die domste is nie, Proteas wat aanhou choke nie of ons ondersteuners wat elke keer dink hulle gaan beter doen nie.
Morkel en Miller is goeie plaaslike spelers, as hul teen minnows speel lyk hul skitterend, maar as dit by die ware jakob kom, as dit werklik saak maak is hul klein muise tussen die manne.
Aussies hou aan om ons te verneder, dit is nou hul nasionale sport met ons kinders.
Gaan maar liewers iets beter doen op ‘n vrydag aand as om na hierdie gechoke op steroids te kyk.
SA 103 / 7 after 16.3 overs, Albie Morkel out too.
Great comeback by Starc to york the poor man’s Lance Klusener.
SA 110 / 7 after 18 overs
SA 128 / 7 after their 20 overs.
Probably 30 or so short….
The pitch is not the easiest but SA will have to bowl really well to stop Aus to win this match and the series.
I doubt whether they have the bowlers to do it.
Will unfortunately not be here to see the chase …
46: dit is waar, dieselfde geld vir Miller, het nog nooit vir Proteas geshine nie.
Dink die Aussies is ook omgekrap, nie goeie voorbereiding vir hulle vir die WB nie. Hulle help ons nog om Warner uit te los, maar dit gaan nie nodig wees nie. As ek hulle is, sal ek ‘n target stel van so 13 of 14 overs om die telling te kry, anders ‘verloor’ hulle.
Waar is Morne en Dale ?
@ robzim:
Another special occasion at the tygervalley ocean basket?
Aus 10 / 0 after 1 over… they are in a hurry already
Come on, get the “Vink” out… and some more of them too… make a fist of it, dammit!
Flokken lastige voëltjie!
Ons bowl KAK
Australia win easily… after just 15 overs.
5 overs spare… in T20 terms that is a beating of note!
That was quick, if Warner had played it would probably have been over quicker.
I’m not sold on Albie Morkel. One gets the impression he could play such a bigger part, but his batting is woeful 9/10 times and his bowling is lacking.
See you in the morning, at sparrow-fart (05:30) for the Hurricanes / Cheetahs Super Rugby match.
A bright and breezy start!
Pathetic!
