England I sense will use the West Indies as a warm up series for the South African tour that is in June. In all honesty they should be more than able to handle the West Indies at home. England have some issues, that they need to get sorted: Andrew Strauss cant score a run at the moment and...

I think this is a case of personality clashes. Buchanan seems to do that and Wright I sense has had enough and thus the contract is ending. Wright seems to me the best man for the job but I think Buchanan being director of cricket will make things difficult. One thing to keep in mind, is that...

@ljp the form is as I mentioned the last 12 months. I am implying that he should be sent to domestic cricket and not be moved to another place in the batting order. The dropping to domestic cricket did Mark Boucher a world of good. It would also send a strong message to senior players who I...

I have been thinking about an issue for the last few weeks. A year ago I doubt I would even write it let alone think it. So here goes. I believe strongly that Graeme Smith is at the cross roads of his international career. Injuries and a complete lack of form has dogged the once unbeatable...

Inverarity is a very interesting selection. I agree with Kram81, I also did not see this coming. I hope he does a good job and that CA provide him with enough authority to ensure that he can get things done. The only concern I have came from this: I It will now be essential to his role as...

@someblokecalleddave the original purpose of the story was to show that KFC put sponsorship into mini cricket which is the South African version of Kwik Cricket. in terms of health and wellbeing you are a 100% correct in your opinion on KFC product.

Update: Yesterday, Nyoka was voted out as President for the second time. It seems that this might be last time that he is mentioned as CSA President as the vote was one of no confidence in his leadership abilities. The Minisiter for Sport in South Africa has now entered this battle and seems...

South African Squads: Castle Lager ODI squad: Hashim Amla (Sunfoil Dolphins, capt), Johan Botha (Chevrolet Warriors), Mark Boucher (Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras), JP Duminy (Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras), Faf du Plessis (Nashua Titans), Imran Tahir (Sunfoil Dolphins), Jacques Kallis (Nashua Mobile...

Former Rugby Union International , Performance Director for ARU Pat Howard has been made GM: Team Performance by CA. It is part of the Argus recommendations and is "a key appointment". A new selection panel and head coach still needs to be appointment. I must admit I have no problem with the...

@ljp mate if you could have any coach (Gary Kirsten and Andy Flower is excluded) to coach the baggy greens? if you dont mind eloborate please..

The Argus report is a significant statement of an intent. I commend CA for making all of the recommendations public as it paints a really bad picture of them. If there is one recommendation that caught my attention it is the talent pool that is to be created. Love the concept and I think if...

Gentleman, can I for the record state that I think this is a fairer reflection of how things are really in international cricket. India got the test ranking by math calculations and not be winning many test matches. I agree with the notion that England needs to win alot of away test series to...

Image seen at: http://www.citizen.co.za/ South Africa - The last few weeks cricket has made the front page due to the external audit that was done on CSA financials. The story has seemed to have gone on an eternity but it seems that we are in the final stretch. In all honesty the result has...

Agree with ljp and hope that the ICC does give them the same backing that they gave Bangladesh. I do think that the time has come for the ICC to stop England from taking their best talent. Note Boyd Rankin has been added to the England Lion's team.

ah ... sanity has reemerged. Would you send me some pics of the completed projected. I can only imagine your thoughts on the Argus report ... and yes the blogs have died :)

@Kram81 Mate .. your spot on. WA have made a big bet on Herschelle Gibbs. Mickey obviously knows something that I don't as he was nothing short of a disaster for the Cape Cobras. Does not have a IPL contract anymore, was a disaster for the Northern Knights in New Zealand. Personally I would not...

I think there is a bit more to this. James Franklin definitely is unlucky as potentially he is the most improved New Zealand player in the last 18 months. If I look at that list of contract players it is obvious that the idea is to invest in youth for the future. Franklin for me is what New...

Mine is: 1) Simon Taufel 2) Aleem Dar 3) Marais Erasmus 4) Tony Hill 5) Ian Gould 6) Billy Bowden 7) Asad Rauf 8) Kumar Dharmasena 9) Rod Tucker 10) Billy Doctrove The Billy's have become problematic. The one has forgotten his job and the other one makes far too many errors (Doctrove). I...

For the sake of the game .. the decision has to change. I find it horrific that the Associates are given money to develop the game, send a team to the world cup. Then win a few matches and then ICC does a complete 360. Ireland for me is no brainer .. they have shown much more improvement than...

I may be a little late to post on this .. but this is a bad decision on so many fronts I cannot believe Andy Flower signed it off. The Cook decision makes no logical sense to me as he is not deemed an ODI player but the English but then becomes the captain of the ODI side. I admit that the...
