Baldrick Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Almost time for South Africa "A" to take on South Africa "B" Who will take the extra place now that Boucher is home? I hope they go with Lopsy and take on the "B" team with four specialist seamers.

'Dale Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, looking forward to this battle.Gonna be good. Apparently, AB will be tested at WKeeper and then a review.
Baldrick Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Looks like they have gone with the extra batsman with JP
Bianchisti Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 SA start second innings. All out for 96 first innings. Clicked on the first page of this thread and thought..... HuH???? :blink:
'Dale Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Viva, Hash', viva! Highest individual Test score for SA against the nr 1 ranked team in the world, away from home!
flymango Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 303*. Well done. I wonder if he's observing Ramadan? Remarkable achievement if he is?
Bianchisti Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) 303*. Well done. I wonder if he's observing Ramadan? Remarkable achievement if he is? His been known to fast in the past regardless of matches/training but apparently this time he is not. Had the discussion with someone yesterday who told me of confirmation that he and Tahir will not be fasting on match days.I heard Amla speaking once of a test in Durban where the humidity was around 80% and he batted nearly all day with a dehydration headache thinking: "When am I gonna get out!" The guy is a legend! Edited July 23, 2012 by Androni Giocattoli
D-Mike Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 What an incredible player. I remember when he entered the SA team, he still had his double back swing and I thought he would go nowhere. How well he has adjusted and grown into a fantastic player. I really hope our bowlers can roll out the remaining 6 wickets quickets. Especially after English said they lacked penetration after day 1. How beautifully the tables have turned.

"....Amla (29) is a devout Muslim and although it is the holy month of Ramadan, he said he will observe the fast when he returns home to Durban....." http://mg.co.za/article/2012-07-23-the-team-comes-first-says-amla

Shebeen Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 From one of the english rags... ug, that is so frikken old now. saw on twitter someone comparing it to a knock knock joke! thing is, both strauss and prior left in junior school....pretty damn british now.Trott played for wp and county cricket for a few seasons after school, but moved permanantly once his folks emigrated. Apparently he prefers birmingham to cape town now, so i think he's gone fully to the dark side. As for KingP035. I can't believe they let him play for natal two seasons ago to get his confidence back. I think less of him than wiggins does the cycling public, but unfortuanetly his average is impressive(if only a bit behind his ego). what was quite interesting is that the standout performance on the english circuit this weekend came from craig kieswetter - current england T20 keeper/batsman. scored 150 in the four day match to win, and then followed it up next day with another hundred in the onde day series. and yip, he's got a matric from that school that herschelle went to.
D-Mike Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 From one of the english rags... Yes sometimes SA do get it right and we keep some of our best produce for ourselves.
