Interesting to see Bedingham back with his original team WP. Going to be interesting to see how players and unions will chose their province with the provincial system coming back. Obviously the main provinces will have the greater financial pull.

Justin Dill, now there's a name I haven't seen in a looooooong time. Always thought he was one of those guys who was promising in U19s but then seemingly fell off the face of the planet

Interesting to see Bedingham back with his original team WP. Going to be interesting to see how players and unions will chose their province with the provincial system coming back. Obviously the main provinces will have the greater financial pull.

Just on the WP squad. Bedingham, Verreynne, Smith & Paterson are franchise contracted to Cobras. Interested in Ntini's progression. Plaatjie is the SA u19 player but no Jono Bird is worrying signs.

Other squads of interest.

Ha ! The lesser known medium-paced trundler for the u19 CWC winning squad. The other Corbin Bosch has now become a quick bowler;

Yeah true, had no real pace but was fairly skillful iirc

Glad Bosch is fast now, his dad would be proud.

Early season cricket up in the highveld with the straw coloured grass

Got to have an SA u19 eligible player in the squad. It is why Jono Bird not being there for WP is a bad sign.

Hilton College's Michael Booth has a bit of gas. Zimbabwean though much like Tom Curran but in the SA u17/u19 pipeline. Following Ngidi it looks like it is the new fast bowlers academy in SA schools cricket.

Robbie wants to be a wildcard pick for the MSL. One of the wickets includes Colin Ackermann's bro.

 

[SeamUp]

Easterns, Border , KZN Inland & Eastern Province qualified for the semi-finals on the weekend. Should be televised hopefully.

Amen to that.

4-Day domestic cricket also returns in 3 weeks. Test players won't be available to start. More or less hope to see these XIs baring in mind quotas.

Test : Muthusamy, Maharaj

KNIGHTS
Mokoena, van Tonder, Petersen, van Biljon (c), Makwetu, Fortuin (wk), von Berg, Jansen, Coetzee, Baartman, Budaza

Josh Richards

With all the uncertainty over the long term test opening options I wonder if he could be the one that scores the runs at the right time.

Funny saying that on a T20 knock but his foundation has been longer format cricket & he just extends his game for 50ov/T20 which is exciting.

Cricket South Africa suspend Western Province Cricket Association board and appoint administrator

What is all this about? Seems sudden and unlikely the Western Cape gets hit by something like this?

 

[StephenZA]

Nice to see supersport putting the T20 provincial semis and final on TV.

 

[StephenZA]

Tiaan van Vuuren seems to have something about him. Be nice if he could add an extra yard of pace.

WP rugby had the same issues. Not sure how these organisations are run these days.
