Inevitable result, especially when you think some of the players on the SA 'A' side, may well be in the South Africa World Cup squad, i.e. Bosman and Kemp.

Another Petersen from SA wonder if he will be anywhere near as good as KP. That result shows how far Zimbabwe cricket has dropped.

i don't think this "peitersen" will be as good because it is'nt spelt the same as the famous kp lol.
but hasnt this roben petersen played for south africa before as a spin bowler?,maybe he's changed into a batsmen with that 60 odd?

 

[Helpman]

Its a different Peterson, this guy is an opening batsman.

 

[aussie1st]

Yea I know sounds the same though You're right Rossy, this Petersen has played as a spinner. I would say hes still bowling just batting better than his bowling.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

There are tow Petersens in RSA cricket. Alviro was the one who scored the fifty here, is an opening batsman. Robin is a spin bowler who bats a bit too.

South Africa A innings: 164/2 (van Wyk 60, Petersen 87 not out)

South Africa A win by 8 wickets.

 

[aussie1st]

Lol same two people doing the scoring for SA. Quite a thrashing giving out from SA A it seems we would be better served having A sides in the Test arena.
