    CSA worried about crowd attendance...

    That's cause the last time he did that was 5 years ago.

    CSA worried about crowd attendance...

    He's already demonstrated that he score in that position. They're not going to change the current lineup for the first test, domestic form or not. Prince is a guy that will find form when he needs it.

    Just noticed something. Morkel = 0 no balls.

    Tall bowling lineup for the Saffers. CJ, Rusty, Lopsy and Morne are all over 6'4.

    CSA worried about crowd attendance...

    It was the same thing where people were complaining about the poor turnout during the Pak ODI series in 2002. I went to the PE game and there was 18 000 people there which is almost a full house. The CSA needs to stop painting with broad strokes.

    Well he's not opening or they would have played Puttick at 3, or opened with Rossouw, so it's obvious they see him batting down the order. He got a hundred in his last domestic game playing at 4.

    If Gibbs has a good outing, i'd play him ahead of Virus at no. 5. He's been successful there in the past.

    Referrals for good over rates...

    My suggestion is a play clock. 20 or 30 seconds between deliveries and a 1 minute or 2 minutes between overs. The third umpire can monitor the clock which can be displayed on an electronic scoreboard and alert the field umpire if there is a violation and add a run. Referral times would be...

    It's the Saj Mahmood we know and love.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in South Africa

    Lopsy looks fantastic these days. Not quick but he looks unplayable. I think his left-arm angle and his height makes up for his lack of pace.

    Fast medium. Has a good action though.

    *Official* England in South Africa

    Nope. Their entire bowling lineup (Ntini, Parnell, Botha, Tsotsobe and Kallis) is on international duty or injured.

    Interesting to see what they do with CJ

    A bit rough on Jadeja? He's been your best bowler.

    Bangladesh improving a lot?

    That's what I mean. I think with those crop of players plus those coming back from the ICL and an U19 side with potential, it seriously is only a matter of time before they hit that so called "test" squad. What they seriously lack is a quality no. 3.

    Bangladesh improving a lot?

    Isn't Shahriar coming back though after December 31st?

    Bangladesh improving a lot?

    Anybody following the England U19s in Bangladesh? England have just lost the 7 game series 4-0. I'm not sure if this is a concern for England or if there's some great young players coming through the ranks for Bangladesh but based on players like Tamim and Shakib, I believe it's the latter...

    Yep. I have high hopes for Rusty. He already has done well against international opposition when he took 5 against NZ.

    I like Virus but I don't know how he can leap-frog Amla for a spot when Amla has done well in his relative-short ODI career.
