Re: Cricket season

I enjoy watching woman’s cricket, good that they make a good living out of it. I also enjoy watching the woman’s football and rugby as there are no cry babies in the football like in the men’s game. I promised myself about 15 years ago that I would never watch another woman’s tennis match because of the noises that they make.

Superb all round performance by SA. Wolfaardt bats far too slow, Kapp looks as if she is constantly annoyed. Mlaba what a spinner she is. My fav is Jafta the wicketkeeper. She is full of enthusiasm and is very good. Now need to beat the Aussies

Bitter sweet news.
Bavuma is the Captain of the Test Team and ODI. He has relinquished his captaincy for T20I. Markram captained the inaugural SA20 champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape but the last time he captained the Proteas his form was dismal. Maybe Miller, the T20I captain going forward.
Test Squad for West Indies.
Elgar
De Zorzi
Peterson
Markram
Bavuma
Klaasen
Jansen
Mulder
Maharaj
Rabada
Nortje
Rickleton
Muthusamy
Coetzee
Harmer

Removing the captaincy from Elgar is a good thing as he hardly scored a run as captain. Maybe they could have given Erwee the WIndies series one last chance.
Oliver is a surprise omission but Harmer a very welcome addition. Can’t say that I have heard of De Zori so that’s somebody to look out for. I did not realise that the spinner Muthusamy was a SAfrican. He looked good in the SA20. Exciting times she’d for SA cricket in all three formats

Muthusamy has played twice for South Africa. He was with the Dolphins and then captained North West. He is handy with the bat and not too bad a spinner.
Klaasen on current form will start and be the wicketkeeper unless Rickleton plays so Klaasen can concentrate on his batting. Its do or die for Markram in red ball.

Verryane the wicky did ok in Aus with his keeping and batting. A bit harsh to get rid of him

Man of the series in the India v Australia or should I say men of the series goes to the groundsman of each venue for doctoring them in favour of the home side. The ICC should step in as it’s turned into a farce. The two best test sides up against each in a series of pitch v bat.

The SA team gave it a go yesterday but the opener Wolvaardt scores far too slow using up too many dot balls. I would open with de klerk and Brits. Kapp is still pissed that her wife did not make the side and her below average performances have hampered the team. I did not realise that Mlaba was rated number 2 in the world rankings. She looks a better spinner than any of those pretenders in the men’s side. Must beat Bangladesh and hope that somehow the under achieving Kiwis can somehow beat Sri Lanka who on a going day could well win this WC

Dane van Niekerk never pass the fitness test and CSA was in a precarious position to include her. People were commenting that 6 to 8 year old elite girls can run 2km in under 8 minutes. She had to complete it in 09.30 minutes time. Definitely doable because some of the more bigger size girls made the time.
Remember Maglala was selected and then omitted because of fitness issues. I think Shamsi also had to work on his fitness.

South Africa Women got a lifeline from New Zealand who trashes Sri Lanka. They need to beat Bangladesh tomorrow to qualify for the semi finals.

The red and white balls cricket coaches of South Africa will now choose their own players for every series. There is no more selectors or convenor.
