    Best South African batsman ever

    Yes he was going to towards the end of his career. Barry is only a year younger than Graeme but that happened in the second rebel tour (a year or 2 later)I think when Barry was longer playing for SA and had gone to Australia. Granted it was a 2nd west Indies eleven but it was a very good one...

    Yes Graeme was a great batsmen. Its really only between him Barry for sa's greatest bat. Yes Pollock did make the 125 form 160 balls at Trent bridge where virtually no else could make any runs as the wicket was very difficult. But he got hit on the head by the west Indies paceman during the...

    Best South African batsman ever

    For me it will always be Barry Richards. The abilities he had against good bowling on poor wickets. He was able to bat on difficult wickets. In one county match the extras was the second highest scorer I think 15 or so while Barry went on to make over forty. No other batsman came close to 8...

    Best players against lateral moving ball?

    Mark Taylor had this uncanny ability to seem to know what way the ball was going to seam. I watched him against Pollock and Donald in Australia. His strike rate wanst spectacular but without doubt the best leaver of the ball I ever saw. I heard rumours that there was batsmen that was able to...

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    If they introduce 8 sides will not the same thing happen that happened before the franchises were introduced: nobody goes to watch the games ?? Did people support the domestic list a matches before the franchises ? Were they sustainable ?

    South African Domestic Season 2015/16

    No piedt has statistically proven himself in franchise cricket. He's probably the best performing spinner over the last 4 seasons, I was surprised by his batting. He looks quite good at the crease.

    South African Domestic Season 2015/16

    Ja that's what I heard. Got nothing against piedt but a leggie brings that something special to the side.

    Match Fixing in the Ram Slam Tournament

    Sorry I was on this page: SuperSport - Cricket And found article with the following heading: RAM to consider T20 sponsorship after fixing But the short decription below it does turn it into a question and not a statement. Sorry

    Match Fixing in the Ram Slam Tournament

    Sponsors RAM wait on match-fixing outcome | Sport24 I don't understand where RAM said they are considering withdrawing their sponsorship in this article yet the heading claims that to be the case. Or I read incorrectly.

    South African Domestic Season 2015/16

    Seamup How do you differentiate between the quality of wickets a bowler takes ?? Hardus came in to the test side form 20 wickets in 2 matches and was only able to get 1 or 2 wickets in the match against Eng. How do you guage stuff like that ?
