I am new here . So if this has perhaps been discussed then how do I search for it ???
Please can someone check if my posts are readable.. On the scified forum my posts are running outside the text not since they use WYSIWYG .
My concerns are:
Why did vernon philander had to take 250 first class wicket at 20 before being considered for the te st side ?? He is without a doubt one of the finest bowlers ever to come from. SA. Do the selectors really care to have the best possible side ??
Why is test cricket no longer the the emphasis and only T20 ?? This makes less people want to play first class cricket and this is where the talent is developed.. All the the sides that won world cups were also very good test sides at the time when they won the world cup.
So wouldn't it be better if they form a super franchise series where they have a combined cobras and knights side based in cape town - combined titans and lions squad based in pta - combined dolphin and warrior squad based in durban and then lay 5 day first class games. Then I also wanted ask if I was correct that I heard that australia in their domestic first class system in the 50 over one day competition allows 13 players per side but that only 11 to field and obviously 10 wickets to fall but that means that they have an extra bowler and extra batsman . That should obviously lift the standard of the play. If so why can't south africa do the same across al formats of the game.
I hope my questions are well received . I hope for the strongest possible sa squids irregardless race colour or creed. And the first class system and what feeds it is at the core of achieving this . Is south african firts class cricket as strong as it can be ?? Do we have people in power that cares about as much as they should ??
I love cricket and wonder if SA cricket is where its supposed to be .
Anyone who shares this same love for cricket in SA please share your ideas and comment on mine thank you.
Long live SA cricket !!
