Van heerden interesting and moreki much needed , atleast wp have Tony, Mpongwana and moreki now with that young baf batsmen plus the young keeper and that average bowler as backup and the other other youngster yet to break in left arm quick played one foreday match lols I'm watching movie sliver and predictive text changed forday to foreplay I'm at bath scene .

 

[SeamUp]

Van Heerden is a little under-whelming. It must mean Bird is leaving with another top-order player coming in.

Josh van Heerden joins Western Province from Titans for 'more game time'

Batsman Joshua van Heerden has left the Titans for Western Province ahead of the 2025-26 domestic season in South Africa.

Robin Peterson basically changed the whole bowling attack

Peters
Boast
CJ King
Bedja
Mungroo
Mnyanda

Muthusamy (sole survivor)
Kaber
Raubenheimer (if he gets one)

 

[Stefan9]

So we needed to strengthen the seam bowling instead we lost boast and replaced him with the under whelming Jansen. Marco doesn't count as he will hardly play.

Doesn't make sense.

So assuming Coetzee and M Jansen don't play much along with Ngidi & Williams it will be C Bosch & D Jansen/Engelbrecht/Ndwandwa with Galiem & Phehlukwayo.

WP are a mystery too. After ok/average top-order bats. Heard we may get Jiveshan Pillay on top of Josh

[SeamUp]

Sarel Erwee's retirement from the game. I don't think we can ever say he was a great or even very very good domestic player, just solid but 1 off 77 men to have scored a test hundred for South Africa. No one can take that away from him. Wish him well for whatever is next.

Pillay looked alright opening for warriors and we needed more non bac pocs as assume vallie retiring.

He is okay. Just like Josh van Heerden they've scored a top tier 100 before. But I'm not sure it's genuine progression. A sign of financial constraints still which we sort of knew.

 

[SeamUp]

Bulbulia is a High-performance contract at the Tuskers.

Warriors have given 26 year-old, Jordan Morris, a high performance contract. Interesting career. Schooled in Pretoria, played for NW out of school and more recently played in Zim. Seamer all-rounder.

So Titans have taken Tanzania & Namibia's coach.

 

[CartyDurham]

Durham have a lad called Cody Yusuf playing today and all I know he’s from South Africa

anyone educate me on to how he is as a player ?

He has improved quite a bit in a short space of time.

Feels like an interesting signing as he doesn't have the long-term success of a Beyers Swanepoel but could be a success in English conditions. Feels very much like Keith Dudgeon and funnily enough both play for Paarl Royals in SA20 so wonder if there is something in that.

With regards to him as a player. He has a quick nippy action. Not massively quick in speeds. Can swing the ball and has a surprise bumper.

Brilliant thanks. I’ll pass this onto the Durham thread

Cody Yusuf just took his first wicket for Durham

And his second

Moneyball gambling? We can only hope.
