I presume you mean Charles Coalville who plays for someone's sevenths when they are short but are you putting him and Bob in the same boat? Surely not ?

Is it the monotone drone of his voice? Or the better in my day undertone?

To be fair Colville is just the presenter (or leader) he doesn't actually have much of an opinion, he just leads the discussion in a place to get other people's opinion! I agree Trott is a cracking pundit and Butcher isn't too bad also! My favourite is Rob Key, but I've liked him as a county pundit as he is up to date and speaks sense, he still does a good job on an international level too though.

Think it's time for Russell Domingo to hold his hands up and admit he's out of his depth. He inherited an all conquering side from Gary Kirsten. But post Smith and Kallis' retirements, Domingo has been totally exposed. In some aspects he's like former England coach Peter Moores eg stats obsessed. Unfortunately, as Moores found out, the game isn't played on paper.

I think the Proteas should appoint Graeme Smith as their head coach. This is a man who bleeds for his country, is as hard as nails and a natural born winner. Throw in Pollock/Klusenar/Kallis and the sinking ship can still be salvaged.

One final change would be Dean Elgar replacing Hashim Amla as skipper. Amla's too laid back to be skipper. Elgar has been South Africa A's skipper and he's been positive and aggressive(from the match I've seen against Australia A). Someone like AB de Villiers is too important to be saddled with captaincy.

+1 on Domingo. But he is never going to agree that he is out of depth. He is going to get replaced if they lose the home series to England. They are going to dump him and replace him with Smith. He is the most obvious choice for now ....

Agree with the above. Especially the bit about AB. No way should the captaincy be put on him, let him do his thing, which is score runs. Although as an Englishman maybe I should be pushing for him to get bogged down by captaincy haha

I don't agree with SA's approach of having three captains - AB for ODI, Amla for tests and Faf for T20. There is no real need to have three captains. The role has been distributed as if to make their top three players have equal authority. England have two captain approach too, but neither one plays with the other right now. Cook stays in tests while Morgan stays in ODI/T20 world. It works wonders for them. Look at SA, they have their three captains who play under each other in different formats. If i were a bowler in that team, i would be wondering who the hell should i listen to ??

I think they should appoint AB as test captain and Dean as test vice-captain. Give it a year and then transition Dean to the role of captain.
