Good: No Nathan Hauritz
Bad: Nothing can be bad when there's no Nathan Hauritz  :P

[Cicjose]

i mean Haddin is bad for obvious reasons

im being harsh a little on Doherty but Smith and O'Keefe are terrible spinners because they don't actually spin the ball

and Ponting should have retired

[PowerBug]

ODI
Good: Lee , Ponting.
Bad: Haddin , no David Hussey.

T20
Good: SOK , S.Smith , M.Marsh
Bad: -
Interesting: Matthew Wade to keep?

[Cicjose]

David Hussey was dropped on form

Wade is a good keeper PB (i don't know what you see in Smith or O'Keefe tho)

Not saying Wade is bad, but where is Paine?

I like Smith and SOK, esp. SOK coz he's a LFS, and every LFS is awesome. :)

[Cicjose]

Paine has a broken finger

not really that big a loss for them

if you said smith or amla i would have been more inclined to agree

You have to be joking. De Villiers is a freak. Gun fielder, can even keep. One of the best batters I have seen IMO.

You have to be joking. De Villiers is a freak. Gun fielder, can even keep. One of the best batters I have seen IMO.

The fact he's the keeper, not sure where Boucher spends his time these days, means that he is important. Well, it gives an opportunity for someone else, like how Wade has replaced Paine.

Does he keep now? I meant the time where Boucher had to go off injured.

He's the No. 1 keeper in some forms. I'll just look it up now, i think it's the short form.

[PowerBug]

Nope, he's contracted in all forms, so de Villiers was only a batter for the series. Not as bad as is could've been. Van Wyk is the next keeper in line i think, and from memory his WC scores weren't terrible.

Cic how can you not rate SOK. He is a very good player and i think a big future for him. and de villiers is the biggest loss for Sa except if they were to lose steyn
