England tour to SA: 2015

[MickeyD]

I thought about that one, with SvZ, Amla might as well have been opening.
Also, I'm liking the 4 man pace attack, especially with Morris being an asset in the batting and fielding.

AB is an opening batsman. He has opened in many Tests before.

I have not seen anything about the squad for the third/fourth Tests?

Still a chance that Cook replaces Stiaan?

Wasn't the squad supposed to be announced yesterday? Didn't see anything about it yet, though.

I challenge you to go to the Wanderers and to tell Hashim that to his face.

Personally I think you are trolling to drive your own little agenda and to gauge the reactions. Sorry but I don't play your games.

Why you guys always default to troll accusations or those of messing around, whenever someone says something "uncomforable" and sings a different tune, simply makes no sense. I do not troll, and I don't have the time to be playing games. There is no agenda!!! Never has been. Bavuma has proven to be more solid&free flowing than most young batsmen preferred here, plus Rabada&Piedt more bankable prospects etc. All the other names I have mentioned would have done just as well. Anyway, if Amla was telling the truth, then so was Lorgat about the sms saga, ANC NWC about being consulted about Nen&DvR, Smith for saying he never threatened to resign etc. I have never seen CSA put out such a top heavy press conference just to announce a captaincy resignation. In fact none of the other sides have.that too tells a story. Why were all those people there to hold his hand?

Morris is not good enough to bowl at this level. In all the international formats that we have witnessed him bowling in, including this Test, we have seen ample evidence that there are several domestic bowlers ahead of him. If his bowling wasn't this bad, plus CSA were not cowards and prepared a proper pitch, Morris' runs would have mattered far less than his bowling. England should have held on to AB, Faf&Mortis catches. Had they done that then made is follow on everyone here would have agreed that Morris was indeed a liabilty to be avoided in future.

Because they have real respect for a genuine gent of the game.

Lorgat I have no respect for so I won't comment further on him (he is like those old SACOS administrators) - the less said the better.

Don't "you guys" in a response while quoting me. Respond to me or piss off.

Mickey aside, the strange thing is that most guys don't respond with constructive criticism or civil dialogue, but insults, sarcasm and veiled ******. That doesn't help.

I responded to you. Which part did I not respond to you in?....Before you asked me if I was I was saying Amla was lying. Plenty guys jumped to reason in their own directions without picking something specific I said which they disagreed with. That's the "you guys".

Can you name all the people who were there at that press conference?

Who is "You guys"? Did you read McD's post properly?

All those I referred to in my edit above. Anyway whoever labelled me a troll would fall under that umbrella in any case.

 

[MyBBOutkast]

Anyway moving on, we should watch all the developments closely. I'm pretty sure at some point someone will highlight that Amla didn't resign out of a good spirit, his hand was forced or perhaps a tell all book in future. I'm willing to bet everything that a lot was left unsaid.

If you know so much just give us the reasons FFS!

If you're on Twitter and follow certain cricket people, just get them to follow back and DM. I personally don't think Domingo wants to work with either AB or Faf(when have they ever not had their way as captains). So no way he would not have done everything to ensure that Amla doesn't resign, nor would Amla have let him down like that after the lengths he&Lorgat Domingo went through to get him to captain. RD will resign or be pushed out soon.

 

[Wall]

Don't feed the troll.
