nah, bye bye JP for now... AP will bat at 6 under AB, when Bouchy is back.
well played AP jr
Looking pretty ominous for the Indians thus far, oh dear is their "world champion" status in danger already :laugh
Thank feck the saffers have FINALLY dropped Prince down the order.
PRINCE'S OPENING RUN
vs IND : 0 & DNB
vs ENG : 19 & DNB, 0 & 15, 2 & 16, 45 & 0
vs AUS : 150 & DNB
Ironically the Test before his "promotion" he scored 162no. He scored his 150 opening against the aussies and just 97 runs in EIGHT innings thereafter. After it worked the once you can understand giving it a bash, but after scores of 19, 0 & 15 surely someone could have concluded a lot quicker that his 150 was a one-off and him opening wasn't a permanent solution.
The other irony is that his replacement is set on 99no and could make a hundred.
SOUTH AFRICAN CURRENT PLAYERS (OPENING)
50.56 Smith : 134 inns, 6540 runs
43.00 Amla : 1 inns, 43 runs
39.97 McKenzie : 35 inns, 1279 runs
36.14 De Villiers : 35 inns, 1265 runs
27.44 Prince : 9 inns, 247 runs
20.00 Khan : 1 inns, 20 runs
Although Kallis might make a decent fist or better of it, he has never opened in Tests. He does average 26.20 in ODIs opening, but averaging 45.92 at no 3 and 47.71 at no 4 in ODIs, 49.78 at no 3 and 62.85 at no 4 in Tests is probably the reason he doesn't move much from those slots.
While I'm looking at current players, the table of players used in the past two years makes interesting reading
"CURRENT" TEST PLAYERS"
34 West Indies
25 New Zealand
24 India, Australia
22 England
21 South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh
20 Sri Lanka
Two of England's 22 are "one Test wonders" (Khan and Pattinson), Shah, Trott, Bresnan and Onions have yet to reach double figures while Ambrose only got as far as 11 caps and Bopara 10. Shame the windies had to argue over money, although that's not too surprising. South Africa have EIGHT players among those 21 with less than 10 caps, Petersen not included which would make it nine in 22 (stats pre 2nd Test)

Great knock by Petersen, India better head in there and stop SAF, a total of 500 by SAF won't get India anywhere

hmmm.....i remember this being a PUBLIC forum that last time i checked ??? :confused:
if it was India batting and was in this position he would have :banana2
so you can see why rest of the world complains when you guys bat on dead tracks and score. but then you people say "you hate because we are doing good, you are jealous "

Could be a shoot out with the guy that scores most getting in. But with the position the top order has given SA it'll be hard to judge plus Prince is vice captain (I believe) so JP looks to be out again.

go check out the IND VS SL thread when the 700 run feasts were going on and you'll find MOST of the indians (including myself) were complaining about the dead tracks EVEN when the indians were batting.
get your facts right before claiming anything sherlock!

Flaw in the theory.
because
Amla + Kallis + Dead Indian Wickets + Crap Indian Bowling = :sleep:sleep:sleep:sleep:sleep = India being dominated
and
India being dominated = :happy:happy:happy:happy:happy
but
:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy <> :sleep:sleep:sleep:sleep:sleep
Q.E.D.
