England tour to SA: 2015

[Neoprod]

Awesome stuff from KG...looking forward to Stokes versus the rest after lunch.

If everyone's fit, Morkel and a spinner are now competing for the same 4th bowler spot...KG and Steyn to lead the attack with Philander.

 

[AirWolf]

Well done Rabada . Hope they wrap up the last 4 quick quick.

Sadly for Morkel, his inconsistency is showing badly.

 

[Neoprod]

They've showed QdK's face a few times after he tried to scam us a wicket...classic, naughty schoolboy. Before video reviews, would have worked too.

Who is Nasser Hussain?

Whos is Nasser Hussain?

Second grade, club cricketer with a daddy complex.

 

[atomcrusher]

Did Haysie just say Stuart Broad can also handle the willie?

Instead of willow...

Yes .. heard that as well. He probably got laid this morning

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Or didn't. Which is why it's on his mind...

Great bowling by KG. think morkel is done if steyn and philander get fit.

Also have to appreciate the role abbot has played. No wickets but the pressure he has build by going at under 2 runs an over has been immense.

Isn't that what he is? All that about not dropping a player of colour in this thread was about quotas, no?

Hmmm... Then I question how knowledgeable the guys in this thread are.

 

[stefan9]

No one in this thread has ever mentioned radaba and quota together. Some of the others maybe but not kg.

No, but they treat the erm, quota of players of colours as some enforced quota. You yourself have commented that selection decisions are made with that quota in mind.

This. He makes the side on merit...

That is very true as it is a fact.

 

[Garson007]

Who gives a ****? Can we just let go of this quota blaming? At no point in this series were quotas a problem.

Of course it was!!! Cook should have been in place of Van Zyl....

Some would argue JP wouldn't make the team if it weren't for quota requirements

That could be argued as Duminy has hardly set the world alight after a great debut series. However anyone questioning Rabada is a dumbass.

PS: I'm all for Duminy's inclusion but he needs to get over his off spin hurdles. It's been way too long. And he needs to start bowling more since that is one of the justifications for him being in the team...

TBH with a specialist spinner in the team and Elgar as a back up spinner, I cannot see why JP was selected. Either Stiaan or Rilee or even Heino Kuhn would have been a better bet. Or they could have gone the "quota" route and brought Alviro straight back into the mix... great 203 he scored this week!!
