    Time for Divisions in International Cricket?

    There will be Portsmouths in every league system. IMO, a tiered solution for the current crop of test playing nations would ultimately kill test cricket in non-top tier teams. If it were to be implemented, a 2nd tier should be implemented for teams for non-test playing nations with a possible...

    Parnell was reversing it in the warmup. He's a tall bloke, around 6"4 but some of that height is removed when he falls away in his delivery stride

    The gave Botha a bat instead of Harris which was interesting.

    I'd go in with Botha. He's been a star with the bat and been consistent with the ball this season. Deserves a shot given that he can tweak it more than Harris.

    What is an acceptable, or even good, strike rate for batsmen in ODIs?

    Depends on the era IMO. 1990 - 1995: about 70 1996 - 2002: about 75 2003 - present: about 80

    I don't see why Ashrafal is playing. The batting stocks aren't that bad when he can't score runs anyways. Faisal Hossain, Naeem Islam and Nafeez should all be ahead of him in the pecking order.

    South African Domestic Season 2009/10

    I'm sure he wasn't dropped because of that Michelle in the 4th innings. He looks a massive prospect with the second highest amount of u-19 wickets (behind Parnell) and he looks devastating with the bat. Something SA needs to weedle out the McLarens of the team. My only thinking is the action...

    His action looks awkward and it's possibly the reason why he's had those injuries.

    Overrated/Underrated

    Underrated. Great player and average for someone in a poor team. AB de Villiers

    McLaren won't be playing unless Parnell gets injured. Parnell is a bowling allrounder, he batted at 7 in the U19s. He should leapfrog Morkel/Steyn to bat 8.

    *Official* England in South Africa

    Could turn out for the better. His performances in ODI's compared to domestic List A is chalk and cheese really. Could be inspired to start performing at test level. Do doubt the left arm over adds so much more to the attack including his ability with the batting with such a long tail. Parnell...
