Is it just me, or is it a bit weird that the toss in this tournament has been held 25 minutes before each game rather than 30? I know that TV rules the world and their broadcast begins half an hour before. But still. Anyway, that is coming up now.
“Morning Adam.” Hi Matt Potter. “Recently started listening to yours and Geoff’s podcast and I’ve found it thoroughly enjoyable, so cheers for that.” Our pleasure. “What positives do you think SA can take from this tournament? I can only think of Rassie van der Dussen, who’s had a good tournament all considered, and the fact that Imran Tahir is immune to ageing, which is nice.”
Yep, it’s Rassie and Imran Tahir. I’d add Lungi Ngidi, who has shown what a big bag of tricks he has when bowling at the death. And we’ll always have that Rabada spell to India at Southampton. But other than that, not a lot. I won’t be the first to observe this, but a big chance they go all England post-2015 World Cup, isn’t there?
