Bheja, I only added Sri Lanka because the first 2 answerers thought Sri Lanka should be there

..run out the only visible batsman at the crease while trying to go for a rather uncertain run during the important stages of the match? And follow it up with they themselves getting out in the same over later on? I hate it.
Dale’s silly piece of running just messed it up to a great extent. After taking the first run, he was like "Yes! No! Wait.. I dont know!" and before he realized, De Villiers at the other end was walking back to the pavilion. With AB at 70, I knew SA could atleast reach 260, but now they are gonna defend a mere 224 runs. Yay!

Q- Can we defend it?

Quite surprised to see this news on cricinfo today, it was probable heads were going to roll after their miserable T20 campaign, but didn’t expect them to ditch Boucher.
Do you think the selectors have made the right move or should someone else have been axed from the side?
Also, AB de Villiers will now keep for SA, do you think this is a good idea? I’d say not he’s one of the best fielders around in the world but the move opens an extra spot for a batsman in the team though.
I’d still have Boucher in my ODI team.

Which one of these brother pair has been more impressive than other currently in Cricket and also in T-20 WC and also give reason for each answer.

1)Nathan McCullum V/S Brendom McCullum
2)Michael Hussey V/S David Hussey
3)Albie Morkel V/s Morne Morkel
4)Kamran Akmal V/s Umar Akmal
5)Yusuf Pathan V/s Irfan Pathan(Irfan is not in T20 WC)

Q2)Which is the best brother-pair you have seen in Cricket so far?
For me,it’s Waugh Brothers.
Steve Waugh-Gritty batsman and Great captain and Mark Waugh- a Classical batsman and good slip fielder.

@real timbu, Now I know why people dislike you around here. I don’t blame anyone for hating you sand if you continue insulting people’s cricketers, you get in trouble. Why can’t you give genuine cricket arguements if you know anything about cricket.

Kudos to him for dominating in the Indian domestic leagues but i don’t think he stands a chance in Test cricket even against average medium pace bowlers on a juicy wicket. Let’s not even talk about world class bowlers like Dale Steyn, Doug Bollinger, Mitchell Johnson and Morne Morkel. He has been given many opportunities to impress us but he has failed miserably. Don’t you think India should continue their desperate search for an average allrounder because surely Pathan is way below average in international cricket and the others before him are in the same boat?
Oh please desi boy, stop trying to make lame excuses for him. He is below average in international cricket. Period. And i was talking about Test cricket not ODI’s and T20’s. He’s not a regular member of India at all. 2 fifties in 33 matches in ODI’s? Top score of 33 in Twenty20’s. That can’t make you a regular member at all. He scored that first class double hundred on a flat flat flat wicket of India against average bowlers mostly who were probably spinners. The guy looks hopeless and out of sorts against the short ball. You can’t survive against vultures like Steyn, Morkel, Johnson and Bollinger with that kind of weakness. Would you care to address that issue?

My country in batting order: G. Smith, L. Bosman, J. Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, A. Morkel, M. Boucher, R. van der Merwe, J. Botha, D. Steyn, R Theron

I guess nobody can argue that his 200 was one of the greatest ODI innings of all time, and it single handedly won India that match.

However, I guess there is a strong argument that AB De Villiers should have been MOS. Back to back hundreds, with 241 runs in the series at a strike rate of 131.69?

Plus I really don’t think Sachin needs another car (as shiny as it looked :P).
