What's the deal with him? Plays local/ franchise in SA but is not available to play for SA?

Having his cake and eating it too. Playing in SA without have to live in SA...

 

[AirWolf]

Absolutely fantastic win.




Our 34 extras vs their 3 is concerning...

Well done SA.

He plays as an overseas player here. So no issue there.

I always get nervous when Jansen bats. It never looks like someone of his size should be able to bat, and you can sense him getting out, but he always seems to somehow do it...

So he grew up as a batsman and his height only shot up at age 17.His twin also plays in top domestic cricket.MI Cape Town....also left arm bowler.

In limited overs, I disagree. They just make roads and the team whose batters come off on the day wins.

I'm here, congrats to the Proteas.

Win a couple games home, against a dodgy England side ( 5 game lose streak for them), still not qualified for ODI World cup and people somehow forget all of this after two close games. I will never forget that Holland loss.

That was a T20 match. Completely different ball game.
