Not a major issue but funnily enough I don't really remember Krejza being smashed in said WACA Test, more just milked with considerable ease. The SAfrican batsmen hardly seemed to actually go after him, just tucked millions of leg-side singles and smacked it whenever he dragged it down.Hauritz played in the 2nd and 3rd after Krejza was smashed around in the 1st.
Bad solution to a problem. Opening with a middle-order batsman is always a huge risk with much more chance of failure than success, and if you're trying to hide someone from spinners it won't work - captains will just bring them on after 10-15 overs anyway to have a crack at the batsman you're trying to hide.If what I'm hearing about his weakness against off-spin is true, maybe open with him?
Well maybe I was exaggerating a tad - he was both milked through the legside (they did not really try to play him through the offside after he bowled Amla through the gate) and blasted over mid/long-on on occassion. Plus, he was also dispatched when he bowled crap - full or short. Krejza lacked the variety and control to prevent this. The upshot was that he went for 4+ runs an over in both innings.Not a major issue but funnily enough I don't really remember Krejza being smashed in said WACA Test, more just milked with considerable ease.

Absolute hogwash to all JP lovers and SA selectors...Second year syndrome imo. Hope he comes back. Enjoy watching him play when he's going well (except against us of course).
Oh that's really charming ....Absolute hogwash to all JP lovers and SA selectors...
We simply have too many batsmen to let this monkey play any more in our team.
