    Bigger pity we missed out on ten Doeschate.

    Jayawardena takes over captaincy in all formats...

    Will probably suit Dilshan...I got the feeling Dilshan's game has suffered since he took over...

    Hrm, in 2 minds about that. In the end it was either one or the other, he couldn't 'suspend' his contract and give it a half go. The only way to do it was to give it up and he obviously wanted to play for SA, so he did.

    He took a chance, SA reciprocated & picked him but he never looked more than just a little useful with bat and ball. That's international sport, it's a cruel game, you only get a few chances (unless you're a potential phenom) and if you don't take it, that's it. People move on quite quickly. Just ask Johan Louw, Jon Kent, Adam Bacher, H.D. Ackerman, et al. It sucks but broken eggs and omelets hey.

    Talking about Kolpak comebacks, Jacques "Pretty 30" Rudolf has looked a bit better than he did last time, though at least this time he wasn't completely immobilised by spin like when Ashley Giles weaved him into a whirl. He should take note of what happened to McClaren, New Zealand will be an important series for him.
    I think they'll take him to England regardless but a non-performance in the land of the Silver Fern will mean he'll go there under pressure. Alviro's laid down his marker as well with that 100 in the last test.

    TBH, I thought the captaincy didn't work for Jayawardene either. But I hope they do well in Australia and can move past all the politics that followed them on this tour.

    Aye

    I meant to say second highest as Morne was our highest for some time.

    I still do not think dropping the 7th ranked ODI bowler from your team will be a good idea.

    I am pretty sure just as you posted that message the new rankings came out, so when you posted it you were still right
