It is evident from the games in the World T20 in Sri Lanka thus far that we do not have the best combinations suited to this format of the game.
Players like Albie Morkel and Richard Levi are selected on reputation rather than ability.
One also has to question the captaining abilities of AB de Villiers. He's a good player, but he cannot handle the pressures of captaincy, and this is having a negative impact on his performance. Why on earth was Johan Botha relieved of the captaincy? Another player who needs mention is Justin Kemp. With his experience he's perfectly suited to the Twenty20 format.
We certainly hope the Proteas can whip the Indians and somehow sneak into the semis through the back door.
