I'd be very surprised if South Africa won more the one of the ODI's.

Other than Duminy no one looked like making runs. They will have to improve a fair bit if they're going to challenge us in the series.

Well won.

True but you have to remember that it is a 20 20.

In an odi there is more time to bat and form partnerships and if Duminy keeps going the way he is all he needs is some support from Amla, De Villiers and perhaps a big hitting lower order player like Albie Morkel or Mark Boucher and I think they will post some very good totals to bowl too.

I think comparing a side's 20 20 form to its odi prospects is pretty rich.

If that was the way things worked Zimababwe would be a better odi team than Australia as they beat them at the 20 20 world cup.

But if using one off matches then Bangladesh must also be better than Australia

Yeah well Zimbabwe have only played one 20 20 against Australia so I am going off that sorry as there are not too many other options.

All i said was South Africa have to improve their performances to challenge Australia. And that's clearly true.

Australia convincingly beat South Africa in two Twenty20 games and that form must count for something. Our ODI team is only going to be better with the inclusions of Symonds and Clarke.

Given Symonds form and fitness issues all season they will be better off without him
