ODI’s have really turned into a game of keeping wickets in hand until the last 10-15 where the T20 skills kick in. Teams are quite comfortable going at 4-5 an over for 35 overs or so because they know they can catch up at the end.Frankly with his strike-rate, they're better off with Amla away from the crease.

Amla would be the perfect opener for that- doesn’t give up his wicket cheaply and should be able to turn the strike over to De Kock who is aggressive. Conversely, if SA lose a couple cheaply he’s pretty good at stabilising or guiding a younger side through a chase through his experience. I think he offers a lot to SA this WC. Hope he’s ok.
England sometimes just put the pedal to the floor from ball 1. They have power hitters all the way down. This is what can happen if the momentum can't be arrested...ODI’s have really turned into a game of keeping wickets in hand until the last 10-15 where the T20 skills kick in.

Chris Rogers felt the effects of a ball to the head for months. I've heard him describe his symptoms - wasn't far off what Paddy McCartin's going through now. With all that's happened in AFL, it seems odd to me now that Amla (and others) can resume their innings so quickly.Amla retires hurt with a knock to the head. First look it didn’t seem too much, as in it looked like the helmet copped the brunt of it, but I suppose when a ball comes at you at the speed Archer can bowl it’s dangerous.
Will there be a concussion sub in cricket by the time the next WC comes around? I personally think there will.
Stokes is a giant tool, but he'd get a game in every side ever...Gah I hate England but they're a well oiled machine at the moment. Stokes and Archer are the x-factor for em.
Kinda going for the Kiwis tbh. Just seem like a more fun bunch of dudes to hang around with than the Australians. Maybe it's just that I can't stand the constant moralising tripe that comes out of Langer's mouth.
