I dont think that they are taking it easy. This is an embarrasing performance irrespective of what the pitch is doing. Smith once again has opened his big mouth and failed to back up his words. He said that they would have no mercy against Scotland. Anyway, as much as I am a true die hard SA fan, I do not have high hopes this time round. I will be surprised if SA even make the ssemi finals.
Our squad is 1 dimensional and rely far too much on Gibbs for the bulk of the runs( I do not say this for nothing. He has been our leading run scorer in the past 2 cups. Kallis unfortunately does nothing in the big games). SA may be ranked #1 but they are far from the best team on West Indies pitches and conditions. Of course, I hope they prove me wrong, but I seriously doubt it. SA are Not IMO contenders.
SA will still beat Scotland. I assume there must be something in the pitch which Pollock will of course exploit. But this just proves that our batting is weak.
