    *Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

    Surname means coxswain. A slave name so the slave owner may have been a Dutch sailor.

    South Africa team selection

    If he's going great guns by age 20/21 he'll have a chance. Rabada made it at 20 but Graham Smith and AB are the only baby batters I can think of. I think AB was the youngest at age 20. I wouldn't mind seeing Brevis there after he has a season of FC under his belt. Edit. Victor Mpitsang the...

    IYO, how much of the australian team knew of/participated in the sandpaper scandal

    Warner has cleaned up his act but lets face it the guy was a complete douche for the first 10 years of his career. He's been used as an attack dog to wage the mental breakdown tactic which previous Aussie captains had created. He got some of it back but I firmly believe that he lit the fire...

    One player you wish he had played for your team?

    South Africa would have been pretty scary with Sharne Warne bowling spin from 1992 to 2007.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    Looking forward to see how our fatty trundler Magala does today. He is fairly skillful but I hate it when pro sportsmen are so out of shape.

    Kohli stands down as Test captain

    So not a glass half full kind of chap then? You have Gill, Pant, Siraj, Bumrah, Sundar, Rahul, Vihari all under 30 years old. That's a decent framework around which to rebuild.

    South Africa team selection

    Oh I don't doubt Verreynne is potentially a very useful bat. In a series where 200 was a par score I don't think we can judge him on his batting performance. Lower order batting contributions seems to be fairly scarce across the board in test cricket nowadays. Bowler friendly wickets and a...

    South Africa team selection

    I think we made a mistake blooding Verreynne before Rickelton who I think is capable of holding down a top 6 batting position. We're in a good place with wickie talent though. Grant Roelofson is also doing well at the Dolphins. I agree with you about Jansen. We need an enforcer and Marco looks...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    What I meant was I see people using cell phone cameras all the time in the crowds. With the newest phones having up to 10 times optical zoom capabilities surely this is going to cover a great area of the field. I'll admit I'm a complete ignoramus about these things but if I consider what I can...

    South Africa team selection

    I live 3km from Newlands. Rainy season from June to September and Newlands is right in the middle of the rainiest suburb in the Western Cape. It has a micro-climate caused by the Table Mountain Range ramping up moist North Westerly winds which then dump rain in its shadow. August cricket in Cape...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    There are no restrictions to crowd photography in pro cricket. People can and do take incredibly sophisticated cameras to modern sports nowadays. I have now doubt that home team broadcasters are continually on the lookout for extra spice, colour and controversy. But to say that the Saffer ones...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    I can't remember the specifics but didn't Faf's Lollygate affair come as a result of Fox footage which was then made into a news story.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Greetings all, First- time poster but have lurked and enjoyed the banter here for a few years now. Sitting in a cozy pub waiting for the test to start. Protea fan here. Hope India does well, as much as I hate him also hope Kohli does well , he has earned my grudging respect. Also, don’t tell my...
