So Vettori is fit again, I see. From what I'm reading, the jury is still out on de Villiers' back. I hope they're not stupid enough to chance it if he's not quite fit enough.

:( I hope AB comes back in full health. We will need his batting style today however he must not play if he could do further damage. Why do I have to be at work!!! :(

They might pick him to bat only and let Van Wyk keep again, but then which bowler misses out?

That's what I'm thinking. Botha would be the logical player to drop.

Oh, and New Zealand, of course.

I almost stayed at home today to watch the game.

Personally I think we have one of the strongest, if not the strongest, team we have ever had. Good luck to the boys today.

Strongest in the sense of almost perfectly balanced. And I'm going home later to watch it. :D

Demmit, we lost the toss and are chasing. :x

De Villiers keeping (woohoo!). Botha playing ahead of Tsotsobe (meh, but expected).

This story about Kallis not singing the anthem is seriously getting old now. Half the Bafana players don't sing it and no one gets upset.

There was a big thing about it the other day, and I just saw them commenting on Cricinfo today too.
