Cricketer Of The Year
I think there's a fair amount of unwarranted hype over Krejza.

You do realize that the guy has only once taken 4 or more wickets in an innings at the domestic level?

..................
My ideal side would have neither McGain nor Krejza. I was merely pointing out that if Aus is desperate to take a full-time spinner in it's touring party, Krejza would be my pick over McGain, because he's younger, has more potential than our other options and is able to bowl ripping deliveries if the deck gives him help (Oz decks generally don't).

Hey we were willing to give 2 touring spots to some decidedly average spinners, with IMO limited potential, for SA. Why not spend some time on a guy that could be a good bowler if he develops some control and discipline?

Ok!! good call!

I just reckon Krejza isn't up to first class standard yet - so Tasmania need to spend some time on him first before the test team worry about it...

McGain is (to be fair) streets ahead of Krejza at FC level.

Two spinners at Jo'Burg makes no sense. Don't South Africa remember what happened to the spinners during the 20/20 WC?

This should be a lot better watch than the dross on SS1, which might actually be over in time for the England 'players' to watch people who can actually play the game

Last over aside, good start by SA. The Wanderers has been a 180 min wicket in 20/20 in the past.

Warner starting to open up...
