SportsFire has reliably learned from two sources that there was indeed political interference with the Proteas selection ahead of the World Cup semi-final.

According to the sources: “There was big political pressure the night before re: Philander v Abbott selection and it led to great unhappiness in the squad.”

I really hope this is not the truth.

We should have just given the World Cup to Australia from the start and spared us all a great deal of effort and frustration.

Seems like batting is a bit harder on an actual cricket field.

On Supersports can you hear the TV umpires voice as he is talking to the other umpires on a review?
