Pretorius getting one is a bit worrying.

Hendricks too but I feel that was always going to be a token contract given to some backup bowler.

Would have liked to see intent by giving Malan and/or Mulder a contract but I guess the latter hasn't done enough to justify one yet.

Pretorius was always going to get one because of them persuading him not to go Kolpak. I don't know if they specifically promised him a contract, but they couldn't not give him one.

Reeza Hendricks puzzles me a little. He appears to have fallen out of favour in both T20s and ODIs, with Bavuma and Malan being preferred, yet he still gets a contract?

Aai , Beuran Hendricks seems to me reminds me of Wayne Parnell and not in a good way. Hope he proves me wrong

Reeza is the massive surprise. Almost like you say we wait until we see the official announcement.

I am happy for Paterson; he became an almost sort of international player that once again is great for the domestic but is not quite for international level.

The loss to the domestic game is the only real loss for me re Paterson. I am actually surprised a County wants to sign him.

I have always been a big advocate of dupavillon but watching him more recently I definitely think he has lost a little bot of pace; I think he has been forced to change some of his mechanics and I`m uncertain about his long term future as an international player. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong, deserves the opportunities.

For me I think anything is a real bonus to me re: Dupavillon after what he ahs been through. Not many bowlers give you that feeling they can be something special and he did. Big jump to international. We all looking for the sub 25 bowler there. I also think being a fast bowler in KZN is a hard slog and he could add value in how he has had to adapt considering how poor our SA fast bowlers have been in test match cricket there for years. But I agree that it seemed a stop-start season for him. Think at his best he can blow franchise cricket apart which we didn't get even considering his home conditions. So hopefully more to come.

Re: the something special. Only really Gerald Coetzee has given me that feeling when he is at his best from the next group but I want him to make sure his body can hold up and learns under Donald for at least the next 12-18 months before international cricket. SA A tours rewarding talent is fine but don't rush him to the Proteas.
