Players Preview—-
Roelof van der Merwe celebrates Brendon McCullum’s dismissal with Herschelle Gibbs, New Zealand vs South Africa, ICC World Twenty20, Lord’s, June 9, 2009
Albie Morkel has been a quiet, steady ever-present through South Africa’s tournament. But he is capable of bigger, more explosive things especially with the bat and this match – and potentially the next – are the best platforms for it.
Shahid Afridi’s moment turned the tournament for Pakistan, an outstanding catch hastening New Zealand’s collapse, and possibly himself – at least with the bat. Since then he has batted with rare sense, as everyone has wished him to, and at little expense to his strike rate. He will be a factor with the ball anyway, but if he gets going with the bat, then South Africa will panic.
