Honestly watching Reeza Hendricks bat simultaneously gives me both extreme joy and serious anguish that he never played enough in the CWC because of you know what.
@ShellsPemBroke She operates largely via Whatsapp for weekly meals choices.
Super easy and efficient. Will try find you a menu, bearing in mind meal options vary weekly
@DeanOelsch@beingsolitary This sounds like a far better Set to select a top 6 already, with Erwee, Markram, Peterson.
I still believe Reeza should be in there.
Themba should hang up T20 cricket if he's to have any shot at having success in test.
Erwee, De Zorzi, Peterson/Hendricks, Markram, Rickelton
@DeanOelsch Look at the demographic that goes to 'academy' of this kind and ask yourself the real question why they are going?I also benefited from this, not saying it's wrong but it's not the same as when a union paid for 30 kids around townships to meet at Wanderers for quality coaching.
@DeanOelsch Unfortunately, as hard as it is to hear this, he is a part of the problem. Kids 6 - 13 aren't developed enough to hit the ball along the ground past the in field. The ONLY kids that go to a cricket 'academy' can afford to go to it, therefore dictate what they want to learn.
I know a guy who runs a cricket academy in JHB for 6-13 year olds. From 6 they teach kids how to hit over the top. He says no kid wants to learn how to leave outside off or punch through the covers or bat at a SR of 50. Long format cricket in SA is in real trouble and that’s sad.
@SuperSportTV I don't understand what more @reezahendricks has to do. He is asked to bat 50 overs in ODI, 20 overs in T20? Does both successfully, gets benched in T20 and now can't make a team that can't collectively bat 50 overs. Please help me understand?

@DStv how much can I pay to have all SA CRICKET matches blocked from my feed? Or if possible, can you move this to Horror section of the movies?
Thank you, asking for the public.
@DeanOelsch Let's play a little game of would you rather?
Would you rather watch Proteas batting on day 0.75 of a test match or have stage 5 Loadshedding.
@DeanOelsch The worst part: it's the players that suffer. You can only benefit from your mediocrity for so long.
If they really think Zondo is the next guy, they've done a good thing at killing his career and the guy after him.
@dominos is only lekker as pizza, maybe can help with the base?
This is all on CSA. An insipid 4 day tournament, no development of batsmen, poor selections, poor coaching, poor management of players. I don’t think they give one shit about test cricket.
@DeanOelsch At the end of the day, all we breed is average from the age of 13 and they WILL be earmarked to higher honors. FACT.
While Ireland, NZ, NED are licking their lips at their new intake of free talent the conveyor belt keeps feeding them; players and coaches alike.
@DeanOelsch Well, they have a directive, a rather stupid one for an 11-man team. Extrapolate ALL the way to u13 and see how quickly it gets stuffed. From personal experience, you don't want to go to a tournament to carry drinks for 3/5 days in your school holidays.
@DeanOelsch Tough pitch to bat on when all you face is schoolboys in Kingsmead nets to make selection.
Our team should be 8 batsmen (don't know where we'd get them) Rabada, Nortje and Juggs.
We ALL know where this is going wrong.That's never gonna change.
