South African Domestic Season 2012/13

[SeamUp]

Does anyone know when this will start? Would have been good to catch de Kock's innings.

Friday was meant to be the first live televised game but rain hit Durban again.

Both games yesterday weren't shown live.

Next live game is Titans v Lions on Wed.

Fantastic. Two boys I coached at school in there though I was involved more with one than the other.

Edit- just saw the England series is well under way. Oh well. Good to see that they both played and SA are doing well.

Pretoria High School Old Boys Coetzee & Bosch if I hazard a guess. Something of interest, Bosch's father Tertius and him are the first father and son pairing to wear the green and gold since unity.

Did you ever work with David Bunn also ?

I didn't directly. He was a year or so older and I was bringing the younger age group through. He was, and still probably is, exceptional and I chatted extensively about his game with other coaches. I can't claim even the slightest of role in his success though.

 

[SeamUp]

SA u19, KES & Lions all-rounder, Yaseen Valli, captained the SA u19s in the last game and has the inside track to do so in the u19 WC in Dubai next year.

Was called up by the Highveld Lions for a pre-season fixture last year.

KES

Here he talks about 3rd ODI captaincy and his fellow KES team-mates who were struck by lightning.

Fair enough. Its good to see him doing quite well of late.

He broke all the records at St Alban's College. Opened the batting with Quinton de Kock for SA Schools. He recently did well for the Titans High Performance side against the full Titans team. Hope he keeps working hard and gets a gig at the Titans.

Border left-arm seamer, Ngazibini Sigwili, with 4-34 yesterday to help make it 4-0 to South Africa u19s.

[Briony]

Quinny de Kock 126* off 69 balls to take the Lions home on Potchefstroom Highway. Highest T20 score by a batsman in South Africa.

Better than Elgar.

Even when Bopara scores runs his team gets thrashed.

He played quite well but he just looks so serious or is it sad all the time old Ravi.

 

[theegyptian]

yes he is a strange one. Last two innings have been poor old ones.42* off 44 today as his team made 136-4 off 20 today. His team seems to be getting thrashed every game. Poor lad.

Then again Owais Shah did make 17 off 29 as his team made 116-4 off 20 overs batting first only a few days ago.

Hope the English selectors have been following Bopara's form in Bangladesh and SA and aren't considering a recall anytime soon.

So, Eddie Leie, any good, got some decent first-class figures?

A lot of arms and legs in the action. Release point is from a good height and a Kumble style leggie. As he is 2nd choice FC spinner for the Lions behind Tahir he doesn't play a full-season for them but when he does play he doesn't let them down at all. Probably out performs Von Berg as another leggie who plays franchise cricket for the Titans in SA.

Saw some videos of Diego Rosier bowling against England - seems like he gets some pretty massive turn. I know he's primarily a batsman but is he rated at all as a future Test spinner? Because he has the raw talent for it imo.

 

[SeamUp]

Still the T20 competition in its final stages. Cobras & Dolphins are out of it. With the Lions, Titans, Knights and Warriors fighting for the top 3 spots.

Season stand outs

1.) de Kock, Savage, Gqamane & L.Williams as the standout new comers.
2.) Abbott nailing down a test debut with standout bowling performances with the red ball in Sunfoil Series.
3.) Surely last seasons for Langeveldt, Boje, M. Van Jaarsveld to join P.Harris in retirement.
4.) Possibly Kemp & Z. de Bruyn coming into their last season next year.
5.) Simon Harmer continually growing his game as a spinner in 2nd full franchise season.
6.) Chris Morris & Hardus Viljoen's new ball partnership for Lions & Beuran Hendricks jumping the bowling queue and adding exciting left-arm variation in country.
7.) Talented batsman, Reeza Hendricks', serious knee injury.
8.) First franchise hundreds for Quinton de Kock & Cody Chetty
9.) The fall of Jonathan Vandiar
10.) The return from the wilderness of the heater Yusuf Abdulla for the Dolphins in T20's

Used to bowl a lot more but seems to have concentrated a lot more on batting. Time will only tell but he certainly ripped it a bit v England u19s in that test.
