SA Cricket magazine editor Ryan Vrede reviews an average year on the field and a disastrous one off it for South African cricket.
Faf du Plessis’ 199 was a good innings but not a special one, writes SA Cricket magazine editor Ryan Vrede.
The Proteas’ bowlers lack of Test caps shouldn’t account for their inability to achieve the base expectation for a Test player, writes SA Cricket magazine editor RYAN VREDE.
There needs to be a shift towards finding an identity, tactical philosophy and consistency in results under Mark Boucher this season. His honeymoon period is done, writes SA Cricket Magazine editor, Ryan Vrede.
SA Cricket magazine editor Ryan Vrede consider the five most pressing questions the Proteas need to answer during the Test summer.
The Proteas run the risk of having to select a clutch of new players for their first Test against Sri Lanka, following the latest round of domestic four day fixtures being ravaged by Covid-19 positive tests.
SA Cricket magazine editor RYAN VREDE doesn’t want to see Steve Smith captain Australia again for the same reasons he doesn’t want Quinton de Kock to do the job for South Africa.
Kyle Verreynne can’t be ignored in a Test context any longer. His selection can ease the massive burden Quinton de Kock is being asked to carry, writes RYAN VREDE.
With 17 days to go before the Proteas play their first Test, they still have no captain. More concerning is that there are no obvious candidates, writes RYAN VREDE.
With the England series on the verge of being cancelled, and the rest of the summer schedule in jeopardy, South African cricket’s bio-secure bubble team of organisers have their work cut out proving their competency to prospective tourists.
The captaincy is seriously compromising the potency of a generational talent in Quinton de Kock. It’s time to free him of the responsibility, writes SA Cricket magazine editor RYAN VREDE.
Every Proteas player ranked out of 10 by SA Cricket magazine editor RYAN VREDE.
A series defeat by England was expected, but the Proteas are far from piecing together their T20I World Cup puzzle, writes SA Cricket magazine editor RYAN VREDE.
The Proteas’ stance on kneeling is confusing at best, frightening at worst, and showcases the complexity of teams taking an agreed position on issues that polarise individuals within those teams, writes RYAN VREDE.
Mark Boucher’s competency as Proteas head coach will be revealed over the summer, writes RYAN VREDE.
