Where did nandre burger even come from? Impression I got was that he was a half baked domestic hack, but he wrecked india and now he's hitting 140+ and swinging the new ball consistently from a left arm angle.

You're not wrong. Seemed to have potential but maybe 140kph max and was in-and-out of teams for inconsistency and injury issues but then I saw him in our 50-over comp where they were all in Potch around covid time. Coming in with purpose & aggression in his run-up and action & smashing people on the head but also getting that swing. Think he fractured Breetzke's finger in the one game. Hasn't looked back since.

It's wild that we have him and Jansen with Mapahaka waiting in the wings. Quality left armers.

Parnell 14 (10.56)

Worrall has surprised me, for someone of his age, 85 T20's is not really a huge amount (has played same number of FC games). Don't think he's played much T20 in England the last couple of years whilst at Surrey. Turned out to be an excellent signing.

 

[SeamUp]

Tom Abell is a quality player.

 

[Bahseph]

Shame for Breetzke. Was totally out of touch this final. SREC are definitely kryponite for DSG.

 

[Bahseph]

Baartman needs to be on that plane to the WC.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

De Kock has a very poor record in big knockout games ..

 

[StephenZA]

Nice from SEC. Well done lads.

De Kock has a very poor record in big knockout games ..

The man's intensity does not seem to be there anymore.

 

[Stefan9]

Well done SEC. Best team won the tournament.

 

[Aidan11]

Missed the game but just sen the scorecard.

Well done Sunrisers.

It's a problem fitting all these quicks in for the WC.

Shamsi/Fortuin

I would be tempted to play Mulder in place of Nortje. Between him and Markram the 5th bowler should be okay, and he has shown some decent batting this tournament.

 

[SeamUp]

Goes without saying but Markram should be captain & Maharaj our vice captain. Dare I say it, in all formats.

There is a new auction for next year. Teams retain 5/6 players.

Saffers by games played.

[Stefan9]

One thing I would like them to have a look at is the criteria for the emerging player. It doesn't make sense to me that an established international like Jansen can get it.

Agreed. That for the reward? Criteria was for U23s only?

 

[SeamUp]

Taken from a mate.

Yes for SA20 player only needed to be 23 or under at the start of the tournament.
IPL has extra requirements. No more then 5 tests or 20 odi's or 25 ipl games played at the start of the tournament.

 

[FBU]

IPLT20 is really like the T20 Blast. Mostly English players. See Abell and du Plooy in today.
I suppose they move on next to the BPL and the PSL. Hendricks, Hales, Needsham and Pretorius are in the BPL.
