Kallis pure genius
Jacques Kallis’s Big Bash T20 debut in Australia showed him to be an even better cricketer than his remarkable career statistics.
Stiaan seems the real deal
Stiaan van Zyl’s outstanding century on Test debut, at the very least, silenced the pretenders – and their misguided supporters, writes JONHENRY WILSON.
AB is pure class
AB de Villiers is the best batsman in international cricket – and he is South African.
Alviro must deliver
Another mediocre summer should see Alviro Petersen making way for Quinton de Kock at the top of the order.
Lighting the flame
Proteas seamer Vernon Philander needs to make this Test series against the West Indies count.
Don’t risk JP
There is little to gain from pushing a partially-fit JP Duminy to play in the three-Test series against the West Indies.
Test squad unbalanced
The Proteas’ selectors have missed a trick by not picking David Miller, Rilee Rossouw, and Imran Tahir in the Test squad.
Show must go on
I, like the rest of world cricket, am very saddened by the death of Phil Hughes. He was a superb cricketer.
Keep things simple
South Africa’s ODI series loss to Australia is disappointing. The games were close but the Proteas are losing too many.
Bowling an issue
South Africa have a handful of ODI matches to get their bowling firing or they can kiss goodbye to any hope of winning the World Cup.
Death bowling woes
What former Proteas wicketkeeper Mark Boucher had to say on SuperSport about the fourth ODI defeat in Melbourne.
The class of AB
AB de Villiers is the most complete cricketer in the world and South Africa’s chances of winning the World Cup depend on him.
Small battles lost
Australia won the small battles in Canberra and ultimately it saw them win the war.
Bring back Botha
I see Johan Botha is doing well for South Australia again. He should be back in the South Africa set-up.
Pitch perfect
Morne Morkel would love to dig up the WACA pitch and carry it around Australia with him for the rest of the ODI series.
