that match was a total farce. What even makes it worse is that when the two sides agreed on a total to chase Yorkshire had to give assurances that if they lost wickets they would still chase the target, so you had Yorkshire in no position to win with 7 wickets down and 5 overs to be bowled yet they kept of swinging the bat. Somerset have every right to feel aggrieved.

The ghost of Hansie rearing its head to contrive a result just like SA against England at Centurion a few years ago ?? !!

No AB for the home one dayers and the tour of Australia. Playing far too much 20/20 and throwing himself around the field and now the Proteas suffer. Australian pace attack looks weak. Proteas to take this 4-1

unknown Aussie attack but their batting is strong
Proteas won't score enough runs to beat them - 3-2 to Aus

Re: Cricket season

The Proteas seem determined to make me swallow my words - but maybe we should not get our hopes up too much as this Australian team looks almost as weak as their rugby counter-parts; still our batting seems to have improved a lot (at least in the limited overs format), to such an extent that the selectors even left out Amla on Sunday :ohmy: and still made the Aussie attack look very ordinary. Still worried about the bowling attack though - Rabada does look the real deal and Tahir very valuable; however the rest imo not really consistent enough
