The Abbotts run this country.

Over 25.3: Abbott to Christian, no run, OUT, late defence at a length ball just down off and it deflects back into the stumps

Ferg coming in at 5 today, obviously gunning for Clarke's spot in the Test side. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

If/when Botha doesn't return next season would SA name Klinger captain again? Or would Ferguson be a chance?

just joking.

south australia trades MKlinger to Victoria for AFinch. Finch is made captain

I've honestly heard no suggestion he won't be back? Know something?

If he doesn't, think they should look younger anyway. Klinger too old and Ferg.....shall we say, not leadership material. Trav Head? Has some captaincy experience in U/19's, I believe.

he's out of contract + still wants to play for SA in the WC (or at least he did). So it would make sense. Wonder if Botha doesn't resign, but still plays in the Ryobi cup

End of his contract, just think it would be a good time for both parties to explore other options. Especially if Muirhead comes across, which I'll grant you is less likely now than it was a month ago.

Also forgot about Macca. Surely if he's fit he captains.

Would be an unusually good decision from SACA to make him captain. Can't see it.

Yeah and the Muirhead thing is interesting. You're right, a month ago he was a monty to move but now not so sure. **** we need him, though; spinning options without Botha are abysmal (anyone who mentions Z gets knifed).

EDIT: And Spikey puts it beyond doubt. Damn.
