    ****Official****Pakistan in South Africa

    I have great faith in Elgar. I think he will come good. I don't think SA want to chop and change their team. They want to give incoming players a fair run in the team. Imagine, you coming in as a batsman and knowing if you don't perfom in a test, you could lose your spot?

    ****Official****Pakistan in South Africa

    reports from my friends in cape town are that it's overcast. Smith is relying on Dale and Vern to take early wickets.

    Sa won the toss and will bowl first. SA team, as expected unchanged.

    ****Official****Pakistan in South Africa

    AB is the first player in history of test cricket to take 11 dismisals as a wicket keeper and get a 100. Also, only the second wicket keeper to take 11 wickets.

    What's the pitch looking like? What you guys reckon? win the toss and bat first?

    Best young player in the world

    I'm looking at the list and I only recognise a few names ( smith, clarke, pathan, Edwards, Anderson); what happened to the rest of these talented youngsters?

    ***Official*** England in India

    these types of performances have been on the wall for India for a while now. Alot of players are there on Rep and not performances. They need to shake the team up but I hope they don't damage Kohli's or Pujara's careers.

    Can Dale Steyn become the fastest bowler to 300 Test wickets?

    I am scared. Looks a proper Psychopath there.

    Alternatives to replacing Kallis

    Replacing Kallis is impossible and I think the selectors are wise enough to realise this. I would replace him with a specialist bat who can average 50 in tests. my team would look something like: Smith Peterson Amla Elgar / Russouw AB ( keeper) Duminy Faf Robbie P Philander Steyn Morkel 3...

    Steyn needs to 2 wickets to get 300 :)

    **Official** Ponting Tribute Thread

    wonderfully talented player whom I hated as he always made scores against us. My lasting memory of him will be his brilliant knock in the World cup final against India in SA. What an innings that was!

    The Case for Kallis

    I honestly believe that Kallis played conservatively because he was asked to be the bedrock of the team for much of his career. He was the prized wicket, the person who would rebuild to a decent score. I think since Amla burst onto the scene ( last 4 years), Kallis has started to play with...

    Smith never losing a test in which he scores 100 or more is still intact.

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    Dane Vilas went completely over my head. He would be a good choice. As for Kuhn, there's something about him, I dislike, can't tell you what though :/

    Graeme Smith vs Kevin Pietersen - better test batsman?

    I would have Smith ahead of KP. Smith in mind, is an SA ATG. To keep an average of 50 whilst opening the batting and having the captaincy thrust onto his shoulders at the tender age of 22 is incredible. He made mistakes when he was "growing up" but in the last 3-4 years he has been a class act...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    I don't even want to comtemplate going in with 3 specialist seamers in the team and Kallis as the back up. If Aus get a big partnership going our bowlers are going to suffer. I love the way Smith manages his bowlers. When our bowlers bowl a spell, they are normally operating at full pace, this...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    I don't think you will find alot of South Africans happy with Thami in the team but I don't think we have another "ready" replacement, maybe smit from the Dolphins but he too isn't up to international level IMO. The long term position looks much more promising with Quinton De Kock. The lad has...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    I think our team pretty much picks itself. The only position up for grabs is the wicketkeeper. Do we play AB as a specialist batsman? If we do, who will lose out to Thami? I think Rudolph will not make it. I think Duminy has improved alot in the last year and I feel that he is starting to come...

    **Official** Super 8 Group 2 Discussion - Aus, Ind, Pak and SA

    geez, another loss for us. Quite disappointing to say the least! I expected a much better showing from us but our batsman have failed us. Levi is a walking wicket and I think him getting that 100 against NZ was the worst thing that could have happened to him and SA cricket. He needs to go away...
