Seeing as no heads have rolled after the holland debacle I expect the same for this disaster...Heads need to roll after this tour, but I don't see that happening if the past is any indication. Instead the more likely outcome is that there'll be press conferences where they'll offer up lame statements like "We're a work in progress" and then carry on doing the same thing as though it was actually working.

I honestly don’t think it will help at this stage. The people in charge have decided on a course and come hell or high water will see it through to failure of all. The excuses the reasoning the failure to adjust or to even have long term plans is clear to everyone. And it’s not much different from every other aspect of life in SA.

Will that change anything? Someone needs to stand up and say that what's going on with the national side is not acceptable and a complete overhaul is necessary, not just of the team but of the processes that led to the team being in the state it's in. In theory, Enoch Nkwe should be the person to do that, but is he capable of doing it? Or would he even be allowed to do so by the board?
Super Kings still need to replace brook. Probably lots of begging going on from CSA to pick temba.I'm still holding off for someone to get injured in one of the SA20 teams and Bavuma to be called in as a late replacement
He has been struggling for a few months just to get the board to sign-off on separate red ball and white ball coaches for the proteas.
I don't think enoch lacks knowledge of cricket structures or anything but dealing with the CSA board is no easy task.
Klusener in line to coach Proteas
Lance Klusener is the big favourite to become the new head coach of the Proteas white-ball teams.

It is amazing to me the nonsense coming out of the SA cricketing camp... they are making out as if this was some great draw... only reason for the draw was 2 days of washout. "the gap between SA and Aus is not that big". I mean its starting to become pathetic and delusional. Nothing was even said or done after we lost to the Netherlands...

Yeah the stats for the tour are pretty grim in retrospect, all but one of the Aussie top 7 averaged 50+ while no SA batter averaged 40 aside from harmer. Australia's worst frontline bowler averaged 26 and all their pacers averaged 22 or less, none of Sa's frontline bowlers averaged under 30.
Dwaine has retired from international cricket.

Bet he was asked to withdraw... especially because everyone else had applied for both jobs. I don't think they actually keen to separate the coaching jobs.Klusener removes himself from coaching Proteas white ball team

Adrian Birrell would be an interesting choice.

Conrad apparently favourite for the Test job...not my first choice, but I do like that he probably knows some of the younger batsmen best due to the Academy days.

One of the things nobody is really talking about is the dire financial situation CSA finds itself in... which everybody is pinning the hopes on the SA20. But the reality is that none of the sponsors have come back.
You have to ask why? And the likely and obvious answer is that any sponsorship deals don't trust the current administration to not be wasteful, and would probably demand oversight on monies given after recent debacles. Which CSA is likely not willing to agree to. This is pure speculation though.
