    My SA first class cricket concerns

    Its only because of the money involved - it similar to the ipl . The Only reason the tournament (superrugby) exists is because of the wealth of talent that ensured the level of rugby was great. That has stopped due to a lot of sa players leaving to play in Europe because they get more money...

    My SA first class cricket concerns

    ***** that is a fine reply. Thnk you. Yes you need to grow your talent. That's for sure. And first class sides need to play to prepare you for test cricket. The problem is test cricket isn't making money like it used to . So less money to share lower down. ***** My big concern is when...

    My SA first class cricket concerns

    Spellings is not my thing$ Apooloogies. Bonus points are always welcome. THe Point is its about money. Actually if the rugby is so poor that no one wants to watch it which is evidenced by the poor showing of spectators then why do we continue with 4 day first class matches that no one...

    My SA first class cricket concerns

    Well there you have it: sa is reducing there 6 sides for super rugby to 4. Jean de Villiers spoke the other night with cobus wiese and Jean indicates that there was just not enough players. The quality of sides was too low as the y were uncompetitive. So what now about inclusivity/representivity...

    South African Domestic Season 2016/17

    Sorry for al the political rhetoric. Its just that SA is facing some serious problems. Taxes will be increased next year substantially and is clear to see is that no one really knows what happens to taxpayers money and then government has to borrow to make the cut. Its ridiculous . What happens...

    South African Domestic Season 2016/17

    Marius Good question. Does anyone know where a person can find info on what happens to the money CSA gets from government? Or money form the test match fund ? Or what happened to the 1500 million US dollars that was given to get the broadcasting rights for the test series against India a...

    South African Domestic Season 2016/17

    That is astonishing. The amount of SA talent playing overseas. Something I have noticed when looking at 4 day records over the last decade is the tendency for players to play one full season the next season only half a season the next season and then they're gone the next season. It makes it...

    Best South African batsman ever

    That's a Fair point. I don't think Bradman was in terms of judgement streets ahead of anyone else. I think however that at test level he was the best captain ever to have captained a side. He was selector for many years after he retired so he was always involved in the practical side of...

    Best South African batsman ever

    When you are regarded as one of 3 best players against short pitched fast bowling by someone of the stature of Bradman and included in his all time eleven than he nust have very good against pace.

    Best South African batsman ever

    No I never thought Graeme was iffy against fast bowling. It was just the constant barrage of short pitched fast bowling. Graeme was using contact lenses or glasses at the time. Just to get the record straight ; RG Pollock was an al time great batsmen. I just give Barry the edge that's all...
