Re: South Africa in India
India missed the Wall and senior middle order batsman and Badrinath, Saba were called in last minute due to Sharmas freak accident. They lacked a bowler it was evident but I think most sides would have struggled against Dale Steyn. I reckon that was his best bowling...
Re: One Day Cricket
I must admit that the whole issue start with the FTP.. I agree with most of the points that have been raised.
I think marquee series should be 2 T20, 5 Test Matches and 5 ODI. Then the rest I would think should be 1 T20 and 3 Test Matches and 3 ODI. This might be a gross...
Pro20 results
Hi All
I thought I would post all the results for the South African 20 over competition as the results have financial implications.
February 2010
03 Nashua Dolphins VS Nashua Titans Sahara Stadium Kingsmead No Result
05 Nashua Cape Cobras VS bizhub Highveld Lions...
Re: South Africa in India
I did watch most of it .. why? Do you think I am clutching at straws, due the fact that the fast bowlers are whom holds the key for South Africa.Paul Harris might not feature and the batsman seemed to enjoy the Presidents Eleven Tour Match: Indian Board President's XI...
Re: Bangladesh in New Zealand
Bangladesh today proved all the concerns of their status correct with a horrific ten wicket loss in the first 20/20 against a determined New Zealand side.
Mohammed Ashraful looks like he needs time away from international cricket as his form is not improving...
Re: Gibson leaves England to take over the West Indies
It seems that Allan Donald is a front runner for the vacancy. Saw it on Skysports and on various other news sources. I do think that Gibson has left a massive legacy i.e. Broad and Andersons' performances and I think that who ever gets the...
Re: Hoggard and Yorkshire
Indeed .. McLaren felt he got a raw deal and signed a Kolpak deal with Kent. The thing is that these players make a fair buck (keep in mind the exchange rate is about 1 pound to 11-15 Rand). I think the players are after the security that this money brings them. South...
Re: South Africa in India
I am looking forward to this Series and I think this could be a pivotal series for both parties. South Africa is at a cross roads after all the changes ie. Mickey Arthur and the selection committee. I suspect that this tour will be a once off for the caretaker coach...
Re: Shahid Afridi banned for two T20s for ball-tampering
The truth is that internationals should realise that you have 26 cameras now at venues and you will get caught. I just cannot believe that he thought he would getaway with something so obvious.
I must say I agree with Kram81 and two...
Re: Hoggard and Yorkshire
@TeeJay1860
The team you refer to is Leicestershire CCC and I agree with you, English cricket should be benefiting English Cricket. The biggest problem is that the Pound/Rand exchange rate does tend to make South African players a nice addition. Keep one thing in mind...
Re: Hoggard and Yorkshire
@TeeJay1860
Mate slow down a tad there I do not like South African bashing as we are not the only ones guilty when county cricket is involved. I have 2 possible ideas what you are implying and feel free to comment on my interpretation.
One South African born players...
Re: Mickey Arthur walks away
@DK mate a thousand apologies for the delay in responding to your question but I think Kirsten is a favourite due to his current contract with the BCCI is expiring at the end of March. However will he come or stay in India .. I think he will stay with India for...
Re: Mickey Arthur walks away
Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced that Proteas coach Mickey Arthur has resigned with immediate effect and has confirmed CSA High Performance Manager, Corrie van Zyl, as the interim coach. The announcement was made at a media conference in East London on...
Re: Mickey Arthur walks away
@LtD I agree to a degree with the surprise sentiment but if one looks at his record the last 18 months it was not that great and in all honesty he did somethings that were not that popular.
He did not react well to pressure on issues like why the national side...
Mickey Arthur walks away
So Mickey Arthur has resigned according to media reports .. is this the first of many changes in national side in South Africa? His assistant has been shown the door and the selectors seems to be the next to face the axe.. I will be following this closely as this...
Re: IPL to air on Youtube
@mas cambios
The problem with the Internet here down South is that it is controlled by a monopolistic goverment entity which have done little to make it affordable to the man on the street.
I understand the point you make about the economics and being free but I am...
Re: IPL to air on Youtube
Monetizing content in the digital sphere will be an avenue which all sports will need to look at. The Americans do it for the NFL, MLB etc. The one problem is that will not work in country where high speed bandwidth is an issue like South Africa.
Also the free element...
Re: IPL Auction Pools
@mas cambios I would add political implications to the lack of Pakistan selection in the auction. Bond and Martyn add experience to both sides involved. Bond I think adds spice to the KKR attack.
Haddins lack of selection is baffling but ultimately the owners pick who was...
Re: Role and Captaincy
I tend to agree with mas on the idea that it should be the best leader in the side irrespective of role in the side. However I think wicketkeepers should not be inline for the job as they already play a proactive role in the side through their duties. The only exception...
Re: IPL Auction Pools
Mohammad Kaif in the Auction tomorrow As Rajastan Royals bought his contract out.
Kolkata buys out ponting and Challengers Bangalore buys out Bracken. The buying of contracts out means that these franchises have greater space to add internationals to their squads.
