She has been word vomiting for 6 weeks now... has been truly horrendous.
I was surprised to see Mark Nicholas here I thought he would be back in OZ screaming in the mike with the other lot down under.
Don't forget Channel 9 ended 2/3 summers back.
That is what I hope we getting back now. Internal healthy competition to push each player knowing that if you not performing you looking over your shoulder.
Nobody apparently looks like a job for life...
So seven white players played at Centurion. Malan, a white player, replaces Markram, another white player, which leads to eight white players in the team?
Except that anyone who suggests that Bavuma be picked is actually doing that. I am part of the minority who believe that Bavuma isn't as bad as a lot of people make him out to be, and wouldn't be against him being given another chance but he needs to bide his time and shouldn't just walk into the team.
After listening to Cape Talk this morning, I will just say they are pandering to the market
Guys bolded deserved their debut. de Bruyn was stuck with a bit to long, unfortunately did not cut it. Markram, Hamza and Mulder need to be stuck with and given a long hall. I think Markram needs to get out of his own head. Hamza seems to have a technical deficiency where he is sparring at balls too far outside his off stump; he did not used to do it when I saw him, and I think it is something he could fix quickly.
It is just interesting showing it like that. There is such a fine balance between rewarding domestic form and identifying talent with a higher ceiling. We starting to get back to low 30s, 20s averages and passing from guys early because they just looked out of their depth. I think we at a stage where we have to reward these guys with their domestic form but then recognise the right stage to cut them when not performing and move on quickly and hope the talent you identify is making enough noises to pick them.
I hope not. And if so I hope that Smith can convince them otherwise.
