The Proteas’ T20 International modus operandi was established in the five matches in the West Indies and is now cemented in place for the World Cup next month. Trust the top six batsmen to put a ‘par’ score on the board when batting first and then rely on a specialist bowling attack to defend it. Or restrict the opposition to a par score and then rely on the top six to chase it.
My very first thought on learning of the omission or traveling reserve status of Georgr Linde was that our team is doomed already. Not having opted to add Faf as a very necessary batter made it imperative imho to have the batting ability of Linde not to speak of his bowling prowess. Beating Sri Lanka with 4 spinners is all very well but I can't see it succeeding in the middle east. Anyway as a loyal Protea supporter from the south eastern US I wish our team well.
Interesting article - I would have gone with Linde. Not sure about the other non-travelling reserves. Did not watch the South African innings - some of us have to work. Can you tell me why Wian Mulder was fielding - I did notice David Miller in his shorts. Hopefully nothing serious. Once again, thank you for your insights.
