dont forget where they are. Ask any former player and they will tell you that a test victory on Australian soil is up there in their top 10 of memorable career achievements.

 

Yes, we have the players, but on both tests we have been faced with injury pullouts as the test started. Having a main strike bowler out on the first day when you are about to bowl on good batting wicket does nothing positive to a team (and not forgetting losing Kallis as a bowler) after that first day SA where always on the backfoot. All in all I would say SA lost 1 day of that test...and that was day 1

 

Ja-ja-ja. I think that's a lame excuse the bowlers will come up with for bowling badly. The wickets were flat for sure, but with lesser bowlers in their side, Aus managed to bowl us out more often and cheaper than we could do them.

 

Although Kalis is ranked number 1 in all rounders, he is old. Why should only one bowler take the wickets? What about Dale and Vern? They are bowlers who didn't take nearly enough wickets.

 

We played badly on both counts and we were outclassed in both batting and fielding. Clarke made more runs alone than just about the whole SA side.

 

That is pisspooor.

No love lost for Rudolph, eh?

 

:-D

 

laugh.png None at all mate. None at all. He didn't impress me way back when, and I cannot say he does now. Don't get me started on captain Fatty.

 

EDIT;

 

And as for Prince Ponce, he can stay wherever he is. True he sometimes makes a few runs, but on the whole, I don't think he should be in the side.

 

Reminds me of Mrs Cullinan some time ago. Devastating batsman when she was on song, but she was terrible when she couldn't hold the notes. On form she was a joy to watch. When Warnie bowled at her, ai-ai-jai. Round and round the legs we go. She was Warnies bunny for sure.

 

Think by the time the selector finally woke up and smelled the sewerage, he owed us about 4000 runs.

is it still fact that SA has not lost when he has made a century?

 

he could have been a great if his attitude was better

I think the actual stat is that he has not lost a test match where he has scored 88 or more.

I think he needs to work on some of his field placings a bit

So, Graeme makes it count when the heat is on.

His avg in Tests would place him in any Test 11.

What are your thoughts?

 

:-D

I am quite concerned about AB keeping wicket, not that he can't so the job but the effect it is having on his batting.

 

And Thami is not the answer, bring in a youngster like Quinton de Kock who can be the Proteas keeper for the next 10-12 years.

Remind me?

 

:-)

 

remember When warne had a psychological advantage over cullinan and he got him out all the time...Sa came to Aus for a test series and Warne said something along the lines of "I have been waiting x years to humiliate you again" to which Cullinan replied "Yeah, looks like you've been eating pies the whole time"
