Proteas win despite players injured
January 15, 2006South Africa win their opening match despite missing Ntini, Nel and Langeveldt. A low scoring tight match which furthered the credentials of Lee’s batting and Hussey’s God status (a remarkable catch along with the superb inning).
South Africa continue the upward trend as a cricket team. Dippenaar, Boucher and Kemp were upto the task after a superb opening spell by Pollock.
I do prefer low scoring limited overs matches much more than run scoring feasts. A good contest between the bat and the ball is always more pleasing.
