He leaves a huge hole to fill.
I don't know if they'll fill it in my lifetime ...
Is he just being rested for this series mate?
Yah he's defo being rested. I don't really know if it's because we took you guys too lightly, or he didn't want to play or it was Kirsten's decision. I'd rather keep him for tests tbh - I don't think he should be playing ODIs (unless world cup) or T20 that much anymore.
Most great athletes are like that ... and as he's one of the greatest all-rounders of all time, I expect he'll be talking about 'giving up bowling' a few minutes before his retirement speech!
Trott out till India tour.
Eng are 117-5

182 all out
8/1 ... I'll be surprised if SA makes this easy on themselves!
based on your review of Elgar, I could say that about a few of the English players too ... He's still starting off - give him some time to settle in.
England to win by 50+ runs.

I don't know if Kirsten is experimenting here - but I really don't think he's done a good job with the ODI team. You're playing the best team in the world - you give them your best, not experiments.
I just can't let go of the fact we're the dominant chokers in this game ... Will take a long time to heal those scars!
If this happens, can't they make up the 1st game so at least someone gets to win the series?
Actually a no result ...
Re Amla hard to find someone in finer form. I have always thought he is top class.
My gramps is visiting - he was telling me about Amla, "I remember him coming up with Natal (I'm not sure if this is right - probably is, but his memory isn't what it is) and I thought, this lad is a different class." I used to watch Jonty, Kepler, Hudson, Cronje etc with him ... I miss those days - weren't as good, but bloody hell we were entertaining!
