Australia vs South Africa, dead rubber ODI
As a Test cricket purist, I've always considered nothing more meaningless than a 50 over game. Except maybe a dead rubber 50 over game. Okay, a dead rubber 50 over game where teams rest their best players. You can't get more meaningless than that.
Well, in an effort to extract some meaning, if South Africa do win, they'll overtake Australia in the ODI rankings. So I guess I may be turning on the TV when the cricket comes on (who am I kidding, of course I will). Conveniently, the TV is positioned directly behind where I work at the computer all day. If something interesting happens, I might even turn around and have a look.

Methinks, sending in JP with 13 overs to go is a big mistake. I think, Morkel or Jaarsveld should have come in. Should have given them a few overs (2 or 3) to feel around and then should have taken powerplay.

Well 289 runs to keep ur no. 1 position. Not bad. I must take my words back. JP was a revelation.

Looks like we are heading for a new & fully deserving no. 1 ODI team.

Ssukhdial, I thought the same thing - when Albie Morkel was out, we were home and hosed. Then JP started hitting sixes...

Ja-nee ou boet (Well, well, well).
Both Gibbs and Warner were disappointing. Both have over-the-top potential and I really was hoping for more.
Mike Hussey, in spite of a poor tour, is still a classy act.
All in all it was a good three months - not so?
