Selectors erred
South Africa’s three changes for the third and final T20I against Australia in Sydney were absolutely ludicrous.
Rilee will be fine
South Africa lost their one and only warm-up match prior to this week’s T20I series against Australia, but I don’t think it will have a major impact on the preparations.
AB, De Kock benefit
The Proteas have become a far more effective side since Quinton de Kock relieved AB de Villiers of the wicketkeeping duties.
Why JP’s the man
JP Duminy will have a crucial bowling role to play in the lead up to the 2015 World Cup.
NZ won’t roll over
The ODI series in New Zealand represents both a challenge and an opportunity for what is a well-balanced Proteas team.
Bring ‘KP’ back
Kevin Pietersen is too good not to be playing international cricket for England.
Out of their depth
Both the Cobras and Dolphins were inadequately prepared for the Champions League tournament.
Delivering at the death of an innings
Death bowling is a skill that South African players need to master sooner rather than later.
Peterson to shine
Robin Peterson will lend variety to the Proteas bowling attack on a flat deck at St George’s Park.
Sledging is rightly here to stay
There is a place for sledging in the game, as long as the chirps and comments are within reason.
Tampering a grey area
The legality of ball-tampering is no longer a simple right or wrong issue, given the imbalance between bat and ball.
Duminy is the real deal
JP Duminy’s contributions to the Proteas Test side in recent series should not be discounted.
