It has been a bit of a disjointed from South Africa in their first ODI match-up against England at Centurion Park.
A couple of guys have gotten starts - Amla, Duminy and Pietersen - but you have to wonder whether or not they should have gone on to make a few more. Personal opinion is you need 270+ to be competitive at Centurion - all it takes is one batter to get going and you can chase down most totals.
Some Boucher heroics at the end as usual helped us along.
Interesting selections from the South African side as well. I don't totally understand how Bosman can get 90-odd and then be dropped while we substitute Alviro Pietersen as a middle-order batter.
Thought maybe we could have gone with another specialist batter but let's see how the bowlers fare.
English bowlers again didn't look like any great shakes.
