SA FTW!
 
Hey no fair, Durbs and Cpt both get a test and an ODI and Jhb only gets and ODI :(
 
T20 = 3 hours. Test = 5 days. Plus the ODI series would already be won by the time it gets to the final one

And PE gets all three! I don't wanna listen to Stand By Me three times! :(
 
Joburg allready had a test this season. No franchise can host more than one test if there are less than six tests being played the whole summer. I think its a fair system. Why is the Boxing test being taken away from Durban?
 
I take it the lack of posts regarding the T20 vs the Windies sums up everyone's mood the Proteas performance. :(
 
I only caught the highlights but yeah 12/6 was pathetic. Dale Steyn performed well though, but yeah, not a good start for the Proteas. :(
 
See, now if we played in Jhb/Centurion there's no way we would have lost it ;)

Not relevant though, the tests and ODI's are entirely different games.
 
was dismal, I'm sorry to harp on about this but I don't rate Mickey Arthur, not at all...

with all due respect to them they're both rubbish!! there only 3 sides in world cricket that we should battle to beat, England, India and Oz'...perhaps Sri Lanka...

Pakistan are ranked 6th in test cricket and 6th in one day cricket while New Zealand are ranked 7th in test cricket and 3rd in one day cricket.

The West Indies are ranked 8th in both forms of the game.

We should beat them comfortably. I honestly believe that despite the Proteas successes against Pakistan and NZ of late the side is under performing most notably in the world cup and pro20 world cup. For me he weakest link is Mickey... sorry...

Who gives a crap about a 13 over game ??

Half the regular side was not even playing, the loss on Sunday will mean NOTHING. If we are lucky it might give the Windies some confidence and we will at least get a bit of a contest, rahter than a one sided series.
 
Smith is ok... really he is. Arrogance comes from being Captain at a very early age and his successes early on in Eng. Yes, he is underpreforming, yes his technique is flawed but fuggit, if he comes good, he scores some big valuable scores...

We need that arrogance... really we do. Smith is the best option in my opinion for captain. Balls to the wall approach!

Mickey on the other hand is seriously lacking in skills and talent as a coach... CSA made a HUGE error when they let Ray Jennings go! He is by FAR the best coach in the country followed by Graham Ford in England.

Yep, that is my hope. I would rather see us win a close contest than club WI like we did NZ, there's no fun in that.
