I'm probably going to be slated for this - but why wasn't Hamish Rutherford considered for this tour?Or is he just completely gone at the game now?

Rutherford is doing quite well facing the county cricket types I believe, or he was the last time I checked. Worker definitely had the 2014/15 domestic white ball stats to be selected. Also a rep for a great pull shot that I could see a selector wanting to have a look at in South Africa, a shot Rutherford doesn't have.

Serious question: Were all the posts above judging people by what their faces look like trolling or is that a genuine belief that the poster holds?

Just a story on this topic to pass the time.

When I served as a civilian worker for the Canadian armed forces - there were these 16 year old cadets on site doing their training along with the full time adult members (who were as ferral as hell)

Anyway I remarked one day that there was one 16 year old called Kenny who always looked smug and that although he hadn't spoken to me he got on my nerves.
A private called Simpson told me that is good that I didn't like him and that I was invited on a midnight raid to teach him a lesson. Other people had noticed his smugness as well.

I said I couldn't join them that night as I had something on.

So they went over to his dorm room and put a pillow case over his head and beat him up I think and swore at him etc. The authorities found out about it and Private simpson and his mates got punished and told to cut the lawns with scissors etc.

I was told by someone in the know that had I joined in as a civilian that I would have been prosecuted or something.

The point though of this story is the effect on Kenny. There was no smug look on his face for the next two weeks and he got the message. He was a changed lad.

I am not inferring anything about Wheeler here - I am just reminded of the Kenny story from my 20s.

I have also decided that this point hence I will charge $1 per story.

This is an interesting translation of 'a group of adults launched an unprovoked assault on a child and justified it to themselves as being for his own good'.

unlikely to be any reverse today. Could be carnage if we don't get wickets.

Should've opened with Bracewell on this surface IMO.

Cricket SA trolled me, they have an article on their front page titled "CSA pays tribute to Ian Smith"

Save Milne for the older ball? Maybe, as both Bracewell and Wheeler are likely to be hittable with the older ball.
