Would legitimately not be surprised if AB turned out to be a triple threat. :P

Apparently he first started bowling in a match because he was trying to work out how hard it could be to bowl 6 balls in the same spot.

So he bowled 2 overs in a match vs Zimbabwe, they weren't back to back, and South Africa had the game won. 0-13 off 2.

But he had a genuine bowl against New Zealand, bowling a 2 over spell when the game was tight, and then 4 overs when they basically had it wrapped up. But 2-28 off 6 doesn't lie. :P

His only other bowl was 1-42 off 6 against Australia, where he clean bowled Aaron Finch who was on 109 at the time :P

That's it then, get Rossouw into the team as insurance and just get AB to toss a few down.

Rossouw bowls a bit too, between them two and Duminy they have it covered.

Yeah I've been surprised they haven't been able to find a spot for him, he's been quite impressive from what I've seen.

Gayle has made 190 in 135 balls.
Samuels has made 91 in 135 balls.

This is pretty great from Chris haha.

First 200 in a world cup.
First by anyone not from India.

Good on him.

PowerBug · February 24, 2015, 05:54:58 PM

Still 100 for Marlon, does that make it excellent batting now?
