South Africa Domestic Season 2024/25

[SeamUp]

We haven't heard the end of this.

Warriors quota saga far from over

CSA asked the EP Warriors what punishment they felt they deserved for breaching quota requirements during the domestic One-Day Cup.

The fact this could end up in a legal battle makes the whole system and the administrative parties on all side pretty much the joke we know it is.

 

[Dendarii]

CSA asked the Warriors what they thought was an appropriate punishement?!

Did CSA just assume nobody would ever fail to meet the requirements and never bother to establish what the penalties would be?

Other sides have failed to meant requirements before. The issue here is those sides informed CSA. Provided an actual reason injury or exams.
Warriors didnt inform CSA and never provided an actual reason.

Ridiculous that CSA didn't stipulate a minimum penalty. Asking the accuse what they think would be fair is ridiculous.

Not good news for Kyle Simmonds.

The fact Beuran Hendricks isn't on this list may be a sign he is back as he has been injured for months.

[SeamUp]

TdZ flying

Boland have been so reliant on home conditions.

 

[SeamUp]

Solid start by the Dragons

Hicks (Jeppe) and Kokohlabana (Queens) both schooled under the Lions banner. Hicks playd for Tuks but has now graduated.

 

[Marius]

Apparently women's senior domestic cricket has the same playing conditions as age-group cricket where X amount of black players have to bat in the Top Six etc.

What a farce. And very disrespectful to women's cricket, would never fly in men's senior domestic cricket.

 

[SeamUp]

Nice big 100 for Tony.

 

[SeamUp]

Lions v Dolphins started late because of weather.

In: Manack, Yusuf, Moreki
Out: Makwetu, Fortuin, Dawood


Eathan Bosch came in for Kesh. Pity no Luus.

There will be an in-between cycle but those I like who qualify for the world cup after this; considered prodigies through performance and reputation. Haven't seen much yet. The 2010s are the only one's who tasted first team cricket at the elite level this year of their u15 age group.

This shows Wp not producing good young fast bowlers anymore unless those 14 year olds come through but too early to say for them, surprising kzn coastal is! 10 to 12 wp and Boland players out of 52 I find quite poor also. Transvaal and northerns plus kzn producing the most it seems quality players.

Fingers crossed Raeeq Daniel's shines now. Best young quick to come through in a while. The above was just an early guestamation. Of course you can expect a few players to step up not on the list but quite a few from that list should.

Early doors but Bulbulia, Rowles, Lagadien, James, Majola & Basson are my definites. Although I quite like Hockley for dynamism he went right off the boil.

Waco Bassick has a bit of Vernon about him. He would be in my squad.

Can see his action below. Very good batsman too.
