Bloody hell, Ryder's been shit this season. In fact, our top order - Kohli aside - has been shit. The number of times we've been saved by the lower order is fucking stupid.
Immense couple of partnerships between Benkenstein/Morkel and Morkel/Pathan. Game was pretty much all over at 84/5 before that happened.
Problem was the non striker expected him to run. Smacking a 4 first ball is a decent enough indicator that it's boundaries only.

Fears that Albie might be an epic flop after his trial form seem to have been addressed. He's averaging 69 with the bat and 37 with the ball now.
Joshi proving himself at last. De Wet delivered in the 2nd dig, but Siddle was largely anonymous. This bowling outfit can't seem to fire all at the same time.
Yeah, still not sold on our bowling outfit. It's kinda getting us through atm I guess... Our top order is a bit meh.
