Why ones a top 4 batter and other is midorder wicky? thats like saying you see tony de zorzi as a bavuma replacement.
Because you are being deliberately obtuse to the quota issue which is the obvious issue he was talking about when talking about black batsmen of decent quality.

But Tony De Zorzi is classed as a black african batsmen and he isn't a wicket keeper batsmen like mentioned and nor is Temba.

Qeshile will be selected for the Proteas whether he keeps wicket or not for the Proteas in future , there have been times hes played as a batsman for the Warriors and Breetzke has donned the gloves or a Rudi Second when he was playing ..

Its not uncommon for SA cricketers to give up keeping , happened to Ryan Rickleton for example when he played for the Proteas as a batsman only

It is clearly not talking about the position he was clearly talking about having players of colour that can hopefully fulfill the current quota, particularly from a batting point of view. As much has also been mentioned regards de Zorzi. And the conversation around Qeshile goes back 5 years.

I hope so, but he needs a much better run of form to prove it after struggling for so long... I still would much prefer he came in as wk.

Anyone know why sturmann was batting ahead of swaenpool for the warriors today? Has swaenpool's batting fallen off that dramatically or just some weird strategic stuff?

To change tact for a bit, I just hope Newlands has some decent generators for tomorrows game. I remember them on at a SA20 game. Newlands area is going out at 8pm for 4 hours :crazy: . It would be beyond cruel for the ladies to get knocked out because of it. I still think ESKOM should have the bajeebers sued out of them, but thats for a different thread I guess

Some really exciting players in that squad. Would have liked to see poetgieter get a go but brevis, jones and de swardt all getting game time is great.

Does anyone else remember that random SA spinner who took 10fer and made a 100 in the same fc game last year?
