Mankad? Just follow the rules. Simple
What, I ask, is wrong with running out an errant batsman?
‘Transition’ not to blame
The Proteas did not lose two back-to-back Test series because they are a team in ‘transition’.
Proteas still lack balance
While South Africa have ticked some boxes in the top- and middle-order, a genuine all-rounder remains elusive.
Look at the positives
It might not have been a good year in Tests for the Proteas, but there’s room for optimism going forward.
Rilee Rossouw is next in line
If Stephen Cook makes his debut for South Africa at Centurion, so should Rilee Rossouw.

AB de Villiers was wrong to drive his own personal agenda for less cricket on the eve of the third Test against England.
Lowering expectations
It will be unfair to expect too much from Stephen Cook if he plays in the fourth Test at Centurion.
Change is overdue
The limitations of the Proteas coaches and the flawed attitude of the players can no longer be ignored.
Gulam Bodi … the ‘nearly man’
Gulam Bodi, the man accused of orchestrating a match-fixing ring, will probably go down in the cricketing annals as a ‘nearly man’.

Options galore for AB
If South Africa decide to go with four seamers at the Wanderers, Hardus Viljoen would be my choice.
AB may struggle without Steyn
A dearth of experienced bowling options presents a massive challenge for South Africa’s new Test skipper AB de Villiers.
Steyn should not be rushed
South Africa have made the right call in not risking Dale Steyn for the third Test against England.
Hashim’s Army lit up Newlands
Hashim’s Army has the potential to inspire crowd atmospheres throughout the country.
Where are we now?
Does the batting performance in the second Test mean South Africa have turned the corner?
