Yeah i don’t know why IPL sides keep overpaying for unproven international all-rounders. They seem to backfire more often than not

It's the HBF with midfield potential of the cricket world

The anti-Dazzler! I thought you were supposed to be preceded by the four elephants of the apocalypse.

Don’t pretend for a minute that this is a 4-58 pitch. Horrible shot selection from de Bruyn, poor running from Elgar and Bavuma is an average bat primarily there to fill a selection quota.

Very fortuitous end to the session for Cummins after putting them in.

Agreed.

Was baffled when Captain Planet choose to bowl

All rounders in T20 are so valuable, and you're not getting many local fast bowling ones coming out of India. You can also ditch them pretty quickly easily in the IPL if they don't work out.

Exactly, you reverse jinxed them. Brilliantly done.

South Africa seem to be going down the Windies path sadly. Poorly run, bankrupt admin has killed the development of their young players and they're losing some of their best players to the T20 circuit. Different SA side if QdK, Roussouw and David Miller were still playing FC cricket. Meanwhile they're not even picking Brevis in their FC competition.

Also still have the quota system so potentially better players aren’t eligible to be selected

Huge spell this from Green.

What a luxury to have him to step in when Starc went down.

3 million was unders imo

Based on how De Bruyn and van Der Dussen have gone, I don't think that would've changed much.

Entirely unsurprising post from you.

Be nice if he can get his first ton in the same test he takes his first five for

Settle down snowflake. It’s a factor in selection both ways…. You might not like it but it’s a fact

He’s the one that comes along when you’ve packed it incorrectly

Where's Makram for the Saffa's? Surely he is a better player than their other opener

Everyone should be allowed one free name change after they turn 18. Just a thought.

No esky for you!

Is esky a racist term these days?

I think so. Also I'm pretty sure that Eskinazi is a Jewish name so the Nazi jokes are extra insensitive and anti-Semitic.

Incidentally, one of their better batting prospects Petersen is injured (and black)
