    Was Steve Waugh a selfish cricketer? - yes according to Chappelli

    WRONG: English captains normally lose their jobs after losing to South Africa.

    Is AB de Villiers an ATG?

    I'm in the brittle camp... Kallis aside there was a time Kirsten (and later on Smith) and Cullinan were the only other batsmen I'd have in the 'good' camp. At the very least, we often either had a passenger or two at the top of the order, or in the middle order somewhere. The result was often...

    Is AB de Villiers an ATG?

    Preferring the likes of Ponting, Lara, Tendulkar as a batsman is as much personal choice as it is based on fact for me. By pure weight of runs he is at least the match of any of his peers, and the fact he was a reliable third or fourth fast bowler (depending on the make-up of the XI) means his...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I would say the momentum of the game changed after the guy that was winning the match for us (AB) got run out taking a silly second run. Anyhow, you obviously view it differently. Obviously Kallis isnt in the same class as a batsman in the 50-over game as he the likes Ponting, Viv, AB, Kohli...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I agree that JK sometimes struggled to accelerate the innings, but I think you are doing him a disservice in saying he 'batted for a draw'. I presume this is the game you are referring to? I remember the game well. Our bowlers got absolutely carted around, Pollock went wicketless for 80odd...

    South Africa team selection

    Depends on the player I guess. Faf and Paul Harris were both on Kolpaks and then came back better players

    South Africa team selection

    I agree with most of this re Morris and I'm quite happy to play him instead of Duminy, which is effectively what happened. Morris' batting is a bit loose, but the question i ask myself is - would he score as many as JP? Probably, so his added bowling prowess already makes us a better team

    The Ramprakash Conundrum

    JP Duminy - his First Class stats are supberb. His Test stats not so much.

    Who should be in the Top tier, and who should be in the 2nd tier test cricket?

    South Africa actually beat Sri Lanka last time we were there. We lost to India away.

    South Africa team selection

    If we are genuinely looking for an alternative opener for England, then Kuhn is the logical choice. I reckon trying Markram against Bangladesh might not be a bad idea. If De Bruyn comes, it has to be in the middle order.

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    It was blatantly clear from the start of the match that rain is going to play a huge role. New Zealand knew they needed a win, and while it was somewhat unlucky that the whole of the last day ran out - they should have played more proactively when they got their noses in front, considering they...

    Who are the 'great' bowlers Smith has made his runs against in favourable conditions? The only 'great' bowler of the last decade has been Dale Steyn, most supporters would say.
