The Proteas - Our Team!

I read that as 'Mel Gibson as coach needs to walk'

I think I need a nap

I think mel would be a better coach than the current gibson anyway...

Contracted player list for 2018/19 released. Basically Markram, Ngidi included and Behardien, Cook, Parnell and Phangiso are no longer centrally contracted.

Eighteen players have been contracted‚ down from the previous list of 21.

CSA contracted players for 2018/19: Hashim Amla‚ Temba Bavuma‚ Quinton de Kock‚ AB de Villiers‚ JP Duminy‚ Faf du Plessis‚ Dean Elgar‚ Imran Tahir‚ Keshav Maharaj‚ Aiden Markram‚ David Miller‚ Chris Morris‚ Lungi Ngidi‚ Andile Phehlukwayo‚ Vernon Philander‚ Kagiso Rabada‚ Tabraiz Shamsi‚ Dale Steyn.

Anyone involved with a franchise that can shed light on how this affects their finances? The Titans and Lions now have to fork out paying Behardien and Cook respectively, so I am wondering do they get warned of this to budget?

I think Morkel still has a lot of test cricket in him. Cant blame him tho, he's quitting for this woman

Test squad for Sri Lanka tour:

Faf
Amla
Bavuma
QdK
De Bruyn
Elgar
Klaasen
Maharaj
Markram
Ngidi
Philander
Rabada
Shamsi
Steyn
von Berg

A good squad imo for the sub continent. Maharaj and Shamzi should be a decent enough challenge for Sri Lanka

Fat Shane Warne clone, great control for a wrist spinner, good no.7 batsman 5 first class 100's.

Rabada, Philander, Steyn, Ngidi, Maharaj.
SL won't stand a chance against this lineup.

I see baby Proteas are in action against the Brits.

Already lost the first test. Many unknowns in that team.

Yep. Hope the batsmen take this all in and savor it. Doubt they will get a pitch as flat as this for India A for the proper matches

Didn't realise how bad Boucher's injury was.

Steyn faces another injury lay-off

South African fast bowler Dale Steyn could be set for another stint on the sidelines after picking up a groin injury in a county cricket match on Monday.
The 35-year-old, who will undergo an examination of the problem on Tuesday, was unable to complete his 11th over for Hampshire against Nottinghamshire at Southampton and was forced to leave the field.

Steyn has had a horrible run of injuries over the last two years, hampering his bid to become South Africa’s record test wicket-taker, though he did equal the record in Sri Lanka last month.

Steyn and Shaun Pollock have each taken 421 test wickets.
A serious shoulder injury kept him out for most of last year before a heel problem sustained in his comeback test against India in February sidelined him once more.
