hmmm saved ab from keeping for a bit that toss

I thought the quota was 4 players of colour unless im missing 1 as see rabada amla bavuma?

Wonder how much of a factor it played. Classic midweek friendly toss tactics - '(No Swearing Please), half the team's stuck in traffic... we'll have a bat!'

There is no quota, officially at least.

Quota's are in place for franchise games. Six players of colour of which 3 must be Black African.

ok maybe I was mis informed as I remember them saying on comms that it was 4 at domestic and just assumed it was the same at international

That's right, this isn't a franchise game is it though!

TMS saying De Kock picked up the injury yesterday and didn't tell anyone til this morning, bet he's popular right now!

Exceptional circumstances, Duminey would have played instead of Van Zyl if De Kock had played.

I was just agreeing with your previous point and pointing out that for franchise cricket quota policy in place. Didn't say this was a franchise game at any point.

yeah sounds like de cock had the injury, didn't fancy telling AB he might have to keep(!) woke up and it's worse than thought and he can't play.All speculation of course but that's village!

AB keeping.. Could be the nail in his test career coffin

I see the rabbit is opening again and Elgar getting squared up as soon as it's slightly back on a length. Looks really vulnerable to anything but full bowling.. Mo on already.. wtf

Vilas will keep.

Oooohh, sky hasn't shown the team sheet yet (since the first ball when I tuned in)..   another rabbit, England will be happy. Botham saying Steyn could be finished due to his shoulder

This article has been floating around for a couple of years but it predicted Steyn might be done by mid 2015.

In a nutshell, he's bowled too many overs and compared to other fast bowlers he's on a potential retirement threshold due to wear and tear.

[ProCricketer1982]

what a awful shot for a 'test' player, let alone a 'test' opener. disgusting cricket

[northernboy1987]

Stokes with the breakthrough!

TBH I'd rather burn bright and be one of the all time greats, than play for 10-12 years and just be one of many.

Steyn's list of achievements is quite extraordinary

Certainly one way to go. I wonder if he would of given back all that IPL money for another year or two at test level? Can't blame him for taking the money though!
