This might seem so on paper, but I believe that SA have enough batting strength(as opposed to individual batsmen) to win this World Cup even if they leave out Ashwell Prince from the final XI.....which I believe they should. The make-up of the South African batting line-up at ODI level has been somewhat different from most others for the past decade. Guys like Boucher, Kemp, Pollock and Hall might not be 'specialist' batsmen in the conventional sense, bit they have enough combined batting talent between them to substantially contribute to the build-up of an ODI total. In fact, they have done; you must agree that the "late middle order" has rescued South African batting to the level of respctability or even better several times in the past few years after the main batsmen have failed. I think that is a strength and I for one believe that South Africa should play with their strength rather than compare themselves with other teams and worry about non-existent weaknesses.

Another thing; despite their record-breaking '438' win, I still believe that SA are better at setting a biggish ODI target and then trying to bowl out the opposition with their strong bowling. I don't think they are 'natural' chasers.
