The Minnow in Last 8

New Zealand were supposed to be the weakest link in the last eight or atleast a little better than West Indies.However what hd gone unnoticed was how their team resembles the 1983 India team.Full of little of this and little of that,they can bat deep and have many bowlers to choose from.And South Africa were complacent.What is the point of resting Morkel and Steyn when you may have only a game left.They are a competent side but not mercurial like Pakistan.However what happened at Dhaka was not choking.It was a collpase brought about by aneedless run out.And not having Boucher at eight aws for once missed.Moreover if you have Kaliis in top six,you can't have Botha come in at number seven.You need a specialist batsman who could have guided the tail.
