Alright I've been wrong before, I admit, but this is it - today is the day Quinny returns to form and sets the pace for the Saffers. Over a ton for sure and takes three good catches, he takes MOM and the team is vindicated for their faith in the young opener.

In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

As a SA fan I hate you so much for this.

God I hope it comes true

Brett824: Mar 30, 2009; I could let these dreamkillers kill my self esteem or use the arrogance as the steam to follow my dream

de Kock's continual failures just highlights the need to bring Stiaan van Zyl into the team.

Irfan's stress fractured his pelvis. Sounds painful.

Pakistan now down three first choice bowlers.

I can confirm this is a very painful experience. Takes a long time to heal as well, depending on whether he can get surgery for it or not.

I wonder if the spinner they brought in has a dodgy action so they hid him until the finals.

"Sanga batting is like last round fight of atom in real steel where he drains the energy of opposition and feel them happy before unleashing punches"

Poor Sangakkara. Must suck when you're one of the only ones who can pull their weight in a team.
