These pools are a joke - watered down is not doing the sport any favours

Agree.
The real tournament only starts with the super 8s.
SA making heavy weather of this low run chase
We got there in the end.
Don't think we're going to see a lot of 200+ scores on these pitches which is probably a good thing. This year's IPL was way too batsman friendly.
Come on Proteas!
Our only challenging pool game is out of the way - now we take on the minnows where expectations are that we cruise past but we know better
Bangladesh won’t be a walk over
The Proteas nearly lost today not sure if it is the pitch but a poor batting performance in general.
Lucky to win the game I think.

Question 1
What the hell is Hendricks doing in that squad? He cannot bat, flopped in both amtches played thus far and added to that he called for a run and hessitated causing the running out of the first ball of De Kock.
Question 2
Can Rabada and Maharaj still bowl? On a difficult pitch to bat on - the two gave away half of teh runs scored by the Netherlands and not a wicket taken by the two of them.
I was disgusted by the poor performance of half the Proteas team.
Well now I'm confused......our resident World Authority bangs on about Ritzy Hendricks being World Class......here
The Proteas were very succesful, both home and away, when they went with spin heavy attacks.
For T20s Spin > Pace
Reeza Hendricks instead of Brevis??? " Well, Reeza is World Class, so I don't mind the selection at all .

want for a better draw than playing Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Bangladesh(first 3 games) in the big apple. It could prove to be a soft prep for what lies ahead for both players and coach as well as allowing more time to overcome niggling injuries as well as build some much needed confidence going forward.
