*Official* South Africa in India, Sep/Oct 2019

[Briggs]

I thought this couldn't get worse than that 2015 debacle but my word

 

[Slifer]

Yeah this is pretty pathetic. Without me looking but did RSA ever bowl India out in any tests??

 

[Briggs]

There is not one classic player in SA domestic currently. If you are depending on Bavuma to be your next big thing then there's definitely something wrong. Why fix something ain't broken? If blacks don't want to play cricket, why force them? There are hardly any black players in the Rugby team. If you don't want to invest in whites then at least look at Cape Colored players. What's with this obsession with African players?

 

[Slifer]

Good question. Rsa shooting themselves in the foot over what being pc or white guilt?? Makes no sense to me. Play the best you got regardless of color!! Done!!

Don't know how colorism is PC. If anything, it's pretty evident that they are not playing the team on merit and not just the national team but also franchise teams due to the BS quota rule.

I'm going to stick my neck out on the line here and say this discussion might not end that well

IDK, just a hunch

Only if you consider a third of the team "hardly any".

Absolutlely. Markram, Elgar, De Bruyn, Du Plessis, De Kock, and Klaasen should never have been picked just because of their skin colour.

Yeah well it is an issue so you can't complain if people respond to a policy affecting a team.

Dude I agree with you. Peace!!

It's more the tone that's the issue in this one

That ending was fitting. Worst test series performance from South Africa since the interwar years or Edwardian era. Been humiliated.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What a way to end it

 

[Bahseph]

If a series could be summed up in two balls, that was it. Outclassed and embarrassed. Well done to India. Absolutely nothing taken away from them as they were superb from day one of the first Test. Guess it's all about who plays them in the Test Championship final now?

 

[TT Boy]

Agarwal is well-spoken

 

[Briggs]

SA don't have any quality spinners and none of their batters can play spin well. Hard to believe its the same system which produced the likes of ABD, Kallis, Smith, Amla etc or maybe young talented players moved to NZ and UK due to limited opportunities they got in SA.

One player who really comes to my mind is van der Merwe. An important player for Somerset and now plying his trade for Netherlands just like Colin Ackermann

 

[TT Boy]

Ravi coked up.

 

[Briggs]

Imagine if Roelof and Harmer were playing for SA. Not saying they would have won the series but at least wouldn't have lost in such fashion.

Roelof is a better bowler than Maharaj? He hardly plays FC cricket anymore.
