Don't think it's gonna get far worse than it is ATM tbf - although can't see it having any positive effect on his batting either.

Agree entirely. This was my reaction as well. Good thing it has been confirmed as a rumour.

Incidentally, what are peoples thoughts on how the captaincy will affect McCullum's batting? I can't help think it will stifle his natural game which I'm not sure will be a good thing.
General trend seems to be that the higher the expectations of McCullum's batting are, the worse it gets. Though tbf he has turned this round a little in the last couple of years.

I definitely do not want to see McCullum batting down the order though (tests). Must stay as opener.

SABC to broadcast only one cricket match only:

Eyewitness News: SABC to broadcast one cricket match

This a a huge blow for SA cricket fans. Seeing how many millions of broadcast money gets thrown out in order to please the so called governing party (ANC), this is also hardly defendable.
Since the SABC is the TV station of the ANC this means our government gives nothing about cricket .... all one could watch is third class soccer ... :yucky:

So guys like me will depend on you to get to know about the games afterwards ..... :(:(

I think I just go and cry a little .... :blink::schmoll:

123/5
Was reading an article in the Dom Post (I think) that said Canterbury have a plan that nevermind the circumstances, 6/7/8 go for it. Astle has been leading the way down the order with quick 50s, playing the opposite of his usual way.

Maybe Mr Technique just needs to biff to score runs?:ph34r:

That's pretty poor but it's only the T20 right? Presume tests would be broadcast.
