Forget Thami but if there is someone that can legitimately make a case for being screwed over, it's Rudi Second. I understand that he's been competing with QDK for almost ten years who has the better over him but he's got a FC and List A average of 40+. Should they not have given him a go in those matches they played Dane Vilas and Heino Kuhn?
The selectors seem to view Verreynne as the successor to QDK so the only way I can see Second playing is if they need to send Verreynne back to domestic cricket to refine his technique and use Second as the temporary fix given he is now 32-years-old.
But even if Verreynne needs to be sent back to sort himself out, they could still use Rickelton as a keeper so he might retire without being capped at international level.
But every country seems to have those good players who fall through the cracks. It's probably a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is CSA's statement:
Gonna be interesting to see what, if any, effect this has on player performance in the remaining ODIs in the India series.

If there's lingering mistrust about what happened with Enoch, then it's good they're dealing with it all in one process. Don't want him to deal with one set of charges and then when that finishes there's still a whole lot of unresolved issues.
Other thing is I hope this doesn't go on too long, because stay or go, the team needs clarity and stability.

I mean you gotta question the timing of this... in the middle of a series... could it not have waited till next week? Boucher is going to have to face the music one way or the other, but they could have at least waited till this ODI series was completed before issuing their charges. Its like they want us to fail.

Agree with that. Adams said his piece months ago, it's been a long time, a few more days couldn't hurt.

Does he resign with some dignity or wait for them to give him the inevitable chop?
If he resigns he basically says he is a racist and there goes most future jobs. Only.option he has is trying to fight it.
Don't think he has a much of a defense.

Dude, do you just always aim to take the white persons side? Your history seems to suggest so.
We don't really know what is up here, but if Boucher is guilty, he should take responsbility.

Btw what did Boucher do? And what is he being charged for?
(Saw him being mentioned on the news for being charged with something and I'm curious)

He's already condemned, and it looks like they want to make an example out of him.

Basically called Paul Adams a little shiit.

Together with other team members, called Paul Adams a brown schit in a song in post-match celebrations. May have also used the term in other contexts.
