Wastemen etc

Yeah, it doesn't...umm I'd probably have to defer to someone with more of a legal knowledge to stand on than my own.

 

[Dan]

Yeah my best guess is that any off-the-field discussion is too much off-the-field discussion. But will also defer to the legally minded amongst us.

 

[Blocky]

The crimes he committed had permanent name suppression to protect his family, so I wouldn't....

Needless to say it's very well known within representative cricket circles.

 

[Bijed]

Oh, blimey, I wasn't expecting it to be anything remotely as serious as I'm now getting the feeling it is. Sorry!

Richard Levi

Any chance of this man getting a recall from SA cricket

 

[CapeTown Guy]

In a word? No.

 

[Bijed]

I hadn't heard of him at all before I read this thread and I don't know anything about SA domestic cricket but looking at his record my first thought was that him getting a Test or ODI spot isn't totally out of the question, though I'd imagine he's a way down the pecking order. I guess it's considered that he's been given enough chances in the international T20 arena already, though his 117 against NZ sounds pretty impressive.

 

[CapeTown Guy]

That knock was played in the smallest ground possible where all his chips over the infield went for six. He hits the ball damn hard but technically he is nowhere near international quality.

 

[fredfertang]

I would have thought he'd have to lose a couple of stone at least

 

[Rasimione]

He's a hack.

Ab De Villiers

How many more years you guys think he has left in him to play international cricket maybe 2 max, South African players are not known to play international cricket when they 35 years old.

 

[SeamUp]

Tough to say but he will be playing till 2019 according to all his comments.

Do other teams have lots of players that have long careers and carry on past 35 ?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Only Indians that are chasing numbers carry on that late.

 

[slippy888]

100 100s in international cricket is not achieved easily you know

 

[CapeTown Guy]

Except Kallis of course, the machine

 

[Stefan9]

No loads of better younger players around.

 

[Black_Warrior]

2019 World Cup for sure as he said his greatest ambition is to win a World Cup for his country. He might retire from test cricket earlier though in order to play more LO cricket.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea I actually caught him batting on a domestic SA T20 game not too long ago, and my word he's a big boy. Where does he field? Slips?

 

[brockley]

He is a kolpak player in England,he and the likes of kyle Jarvis are qualifying to play for England.What levi makes in S Africa is pocket money.

And their idiot bowlers kept bowling short and leg side... questions need to be asked about that knock.
