Thought he deserved a decent run at it around the time Ntini was finishing up, but then he crocked his back and that was the end of that. Wasn't ever really going to get another look in after Vern burst on the scene, his age and injury history counted very much against him

So Shameelah Mosweu has gotten her visa now after all, thanks to all the pressure from the public and media, and she will be in Australia in time to join the Fairbreak XI vs Bradman XI game tomorrow 
Fun fact - two Hong Kong Women's players (Mariko Hill and Kary Chan) will be playing in this game, while one of the umpires (R Venkatesh) is an ICC Level 3 qualified Hong-Kong based umpire - does a lot of the local league games here and runs our umpire training courses. And when he's not umpiring, he's the CEO of Gencor - one of the companies sponsoring the Fairbreak XI. WAFG.

South Africa's always had a bunch of Friedel-level players in domestics though. He certainly was good enough to hold his own in Tests but so were a bunch of other guys.
I'm a shill but I reckon Andrew Birch would have at least got a few Tests for any other nation in the world.
Someone like de Wet, while a quality bowler, would always struggle to get regular gametime for SA as we always have really good depth (and quotas combined with very few quality black batsmen meaning that the extra bowling spots are almost always slanted heavily towards players of colour).
That said he'd definitely be getting gametime today lol.

In case NZ vs India and BD vs Zim aren't interesting enough

Having decided to give playing away at the end of this season I took my first ever five-for (albeit a very expensive one) in our final match yesterday.
It's a funny game.

Some good points made by Kumble here, especially in regards to how most people follow cricket these days.

I actually measured my pace a few times using photogrammetry. Around 105 km/h. It's less than that now though, probably high nineties. And generally I'm quicker than the other bowlers in out matches (rubbish accuracy). Always shows how big the gap is, that most professional leg break bowlers can easily bowl that quick out the back of the hand.
