true and you can only fix a match to lose, fixing a match to win would require consent from the opposing captain, also making him guilty. hansie was the best not only in SA cricket but also in world cricket

there's no denying his match fixing allegations, he was guilty. point im trying to make is that he was a successful captain, his win:loss ratio was unrivalled. imagine how many more we could have won had he not been involved in that. point being that one can easily fix a match to lose, all you do is play crap. but to fix a match to win would require the opposing captain to agree to lose which makes him guilty as well

Hansie Cronje was a thinking adaptive captain and game player. Together with Donald and De Villiers they could suddenly create a breakthrough and clinch a match against all odds. Smith is just waiting for something to happen, he is still waiting since the Austr-allien defeats and would wait forever. He do not know when and what attact is or when to buy time batting. His evil ways is transferred to the other batsmen. All practically out on the first day of a five day test for the umpteenth time, does he know test cricket at all or was he just a one dayer fluke?

Well since Kallis has gone out a few overs ago, we don't have any hope anymore :(. The South African team blocks far too much (look at all the strike-rates) and therefore they get themselves in trouble all the time. They must be attacking like Oram and Vettori were yesterday in order to build a big partnership.
148/5 - 97 run lead.

226 run lead, with only Steyn and Ntini left. Not great, but didn't see any of it. Was the pitch doing anything?
Smith, Gibbs and Dippenaar don't deserve their places in the team, though in Prince and de Villiers I think there is something to work with.
Can't have only one bowler however.

...which is odd for centurion because its normally a flat hard pitch, batsmen paradise much like the wanderers. unless there's a growing trend towards preparing bowling pitches for test matches so that theres more results and less draws. if thats the case then im in favour of it, preparing a batsmen pitch would make SA go into defensive mode and try to draw matches instead of trying to win.

Off hand, and i'll dig the stats later, Paul Adams was one of our better bowlers for clearing out the tail. Mind you, Paul Adams wasn't that bad a bowler.
Played 45 Tests, took 134 wickets @ an average of 32.....
Boje has played 39, took 95 wickets @ an average of 39....
Somebody can correct me but i think his fall came after an injury which meant he couldn't bowl his "wrong'un" .
Anyway, i'm glad Steyn has bowled nicely this test match, hopefully he only improves as we desperately need a bowler who can swing the ball through the air and off the pitch @ pace.
Onto the batting, 2 more failures for Mr. Gibbs & Mr. Smiff.
The pressure must be on Gibbs as there is already lots of speculation in the media about Gibbs only being reserved for 1 day cricket and Gibbs needing too take a "break". Nothing substantial on the UCB's golden boy Smiff yet.

Yeah steyn does look a good prospect.
Gibbs has forgotten what to do when the bat is in his hands. He really does look lost at times. And we all know what we think of Mr Smith....:p
As for adams, he was not a bad bowler at all. Seriously underrated after being overhyped due to his action at the start of his carreer.
Maybe if they'd brought on boje today we would have got some play in the gloom...Oh well. I say an hour of play is all we need tomorrow to erm, wrap up the tail :)

But Prince cant throw.
A shoulder injury he suffered saw too that.
Gibbs and Prince should be given a "break". Bring in Amla & Duminy, give the team a fresh young look.
I hope Steyn continues to bowl well, i'd rather see Steyn in there than Nel until he ups his bowling game and downs his verbal game.
Anyway, nice win for the Proteas, albeit against a lowly NZ.

I disagree with ur point highflyer. Dippennaar did well in the centurion test, at least in the first innings with 52 whilst everyone else did crap. Prince and Rudolph don't have the technique for the better teams. their averages were mostly boosted by the likes of Bangladesh, Zim and West Indies. I'm been cautious about Amla. He also has dodgy technique but better than seen prince and rudolph playing so defensively all the time.
Nevertheless a win is a win. We should look to be more positive but choose to play the right balls. The top 5 should relook at the approach to batting and adjust to the pitch. Not just think we should play positive and flash at eveything.

I'm yet to see the "Brave New Cricket" they spoke about .....
I'm not sure about Dipps, i think he and Kallis provide "stability" in the Top Order.
Unfortunately the faster scoring chaps like Smiff, Gibbs & AB (until last knock) have been getting out cheaply.
I think we need someone like Duminy who can rotate the strike in the middle ala Jonty without taking too many risks.
Lots to think about.
I see the next game is on the 27th ..... sheesh, what a long wait.

The coach plays a big part off the field.
ie. correcting smith's tendancy to get out LBW to the inswinging ball.
He continues to be plagued, surely it's the coaches job to get this sorted out?
Gibbs, very often getting bowled, there is another technical weakness.
But at the end of the day, it's not all the coaches fault if the players dont want to change their style of play.
EDIT2: I've found the Poms to annoy me more, the Aussies can be arrogant, they are the best.

Gibbs, very often getting bowled, there is another technical weakness.
Definitely.
EDIT2: I've found the Poms to annoy me more, the Aussies can be arrogant, they are the best.
They Poms blow their horns after every victory.....
No one is more irritating than the English.
Never been to the supercricket board, can't log in to the supersport site.
The coach plays a big part off the field.
ie. correcting smith's tendancy to get out LBW to the inswinging ball.
He continues to be plagued, surely it's the coaches job to get this sorted out?

get rid of dippenaaar slow slow batsmen
he is the reason we cant play test match cricket
negativity
rather look to score at 3 an over or dont bother playing the damn game
dippenaar loves his scores of 52 off 212 balls
get him out along with that mofo nel
staring ppl down every single ball aint gonna get you wickets buddy
Bring him in number 6 to 8 to try to save the game when all is lost for a win anyway
