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

    No what I am saying is that they must choose players of colour based on their performances in franchise cricket. Rabada and bavuma are the best performing black batsman and bowlers in franchise cricket. So if say a bowler is black and is the second best bowler of colour in franchise he must get...

    That's fine then. Like I say if they are not playing in A first class match already and is there then choose them like with vilas. The match hadn't started in port elizabeth.

    When they are available they must be chosen. If not then that's a different story.

    I just feel you can't drop the quota thing for the tests. Because then the quotas in the franchise and 3 day competition means nothing.

    It depends on the selectors If guess if they want to enforce the quotas . But selection policy is selection policy. You can't drop it. I would be happy with faf going out and van zyl going to 5 cook to 1 and piedt in hardus's place. Abbot should come in for morris.

    Alviro Petersen said on tv that taking people from franchise matches directly to test isn't right. They must first play sa a side cricket to prove themselves. I am guessing the quota thing is also there. If franchise cricket cannot prepare players for test cricket the standard is to low. Plain...

    No the batting collapse isn't due to philander and steyn being absent.I can only guess why that happened. Kudos to eng.

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

    Yes I do have sabc 3 but I haven't seen england on a wicket that produces lateral movement like it is in england. As far as I remember there has been no consistent lateral movement in this. Maybe I am wrong . Was there lateral movement in this series. I haven't seen any balls jag back of the...

    Was the match between pakistan and india on a wicket similar to the one between pakistan and australia ?? What I am really asking is if the ausie test side will deal better or worse with pace then england on this wicket since aus is touring here in march. Don't for a minute think I am implying...

    I know england beat aus 3-2 in the last ashes. If england wins the lunch and evening sessions today then they are probably the better side.

    I'd like to see what the current ausie top order will do on this pitch . They were the only side in the last world cup that dealt well with the pakistan pace attack. What's going on with the pace gun ?? Hardus at 133 km per hour ?? Now morkel 150 km per hour ?? Yes its the first time the england...
