Haha, Boucher as keeper again with Amla coming in at 3 I imagineI didnt hear the comments. Were they from SA commentators? If so its no surprise. SA voices are the most biased I have heard. Its all part of a defensive mechanism and in the new SA noone is allowed to criticise anything. Believe me, they would be making different comments off air. Kind of feeds into the KP backlash.
If you want to know how favourably they look on SA cricket, the main channel here wanted 6 palyers in the ICC World XI
Though as TT Boy mentioned earlier in this thread during the 2nd test, some of the SA commentators (Richards and Wessels in particular) can be critical of the SA team, but the problem is they're always going on about them, whether they're praising them or criticising them. Very rarely are they talking about the game from a middle or unbiased POV.
I don't mind Barry Richards, though I don't think he's anything special, same with Wessels. Donald when talking about fast bowlers is good to listen too, but otherwise he's too parochial, and I used to not mind Robin Jackman but now he sort of bugs me, since he was the one pushing the "SA's day" call the most. Fair enough saying they've dragged themselves back in the match, but its always about SA. And when he tried to suggest that Karthick actually got an inside edge on the ball in which he was out, I just laughed. Barry Richards shut him down though, but still, when there's so clearly no edge, I have no idea how he could claim there was.
Anyway, the thing that stands out though is the fact that Aussie supporters were saying the same thing during Aus' tour of SA earlier this year, so its clearly not just a one-off.
