Fielding quality has gone down over the last years in SA. Not quite sure why... SA team is still pretty good.

U19 Captain
How fast is this guy bowling? Been hearing a lot bout him but I've never got the chance to see him bowl.
SeamUp

It certainly has.
We lucky that we have AB, Faf, JP, Rossouw, Bavuma, Miller in the international set-up. Those are our best 6 in terms of in the right. I think Amla &Elgar are genuinely pretty decent in the slips.
Domestically we have turned average but I do think in general fielding has gone down a bit. The fancy T20 catches looks all nice and stuff but cutting out the simple mistakes to me is the bare minimum a top class fielder should look to do.
Out of the youth , Markram is our best fielder although de Bruyn isn't too bad in the slips but too far and between are the good to top class fielders in our domestic scene these days. I remember how hard a Miller worked on his fielding as a youngster, basically said that is what makes him an 'all-rounder' in his eyes in that he can contribute in the field and he really is up there world cricket. From an SA perspective I don't think I've seen anyone hit the stumps more often than he does.

Max 141 kph last night I think I saw. Probably at 20 years of age will still get stronger to bowl longer spells at sustained speed but really encouraging. Junior Dala also gets it through at over 140 in last nights game on tv.

Was actually trying to think who is the quickest for each franchise ?
COBRAS
Parnell (138-143)
Paterson (130-137)
B.Hendricks (132-139)
R.Kleinveldt (130-138)
WARRIORS
Magala (135-142?)
Birch (125-130)
Walters (130-138)
DOLPHINS
Engelbrecht (135+) reason I say that because he can get into 140s comfortably but his lack of repeatable action lead to injuries so need to see him again ?
Dupavillon (136-140) (could be quicker now)
Shezi (125-130)
Alexander (130-135)
Phehlukwayo (130-137)
KNIGHTS
De Lange (140-150)
Olivier (140-145)
LIONS
Viljoen (140-150)
Pretorius (125-134)
Mulder (130-135)
TITANS
Morris (140-145)
Dala (138-143)
Ngidi (136-141)
Siboto (128-132)

First Brexit, then Trump, what more can go wrong this year?
Cobras loan Ramela to Highveld Lions | Sport24
But in all seriousness, I wonder how much this has to do with tensions between Adams and Ramela?
Ramela is also a Joburg boy so it won't be a massive adjustment for him.

What did the Lions do to anybody?? At least he did not come to the Warriors! Can`t believe that this has nothing to do with the issues at the Cobras... wasn`t Ramela captain till recently?

Not good to see that in so many ways.... did they give a recovery time?

He's there four-day captain but he doesn't play T20s for them.
Just had a look and the last T20 he played was for the Cobras in December last year.
He batted 10 and didn't bowl.

FFS, hope it's not.
He was also one of the leaders of that 'Black Cricketers in Unity' thing that came out last year.
Think he's a stirrer.

He is a home-boy
I had no idea about that. Certainly sounds like it.
Thought that was Tsolekile, Zondo, Phangiso etc
