You keep telling yourself that while I predict Australia will see a game winning young batsman make his way into the test team before the next ashes series
Thought I'd fetch a post from a while back made by @Number4 I hope you put some kind of bet on. Decent fortune telling right there!
You guys must be hating us with SA players preferring to play for Australia as well I wonder if KP wants to be naturalized and play test cricket again
Rumour has it that these two are set to end South African careers and join Hampshire to secure their financial futures. Seems bizarre in Abbott's case as he guaranteed a solid 6-12 month run in the side with Steyn injured. More more understanding of Rossouw who's been billed as the future for 3/5 years now yet keeps getting overlookedInterestingly Morne Morkel might take the Johan Botha route and relocate to Australia
I only just read the same thing on the forum earlier... not sure who said it or even if it's true
Maybe I should clarify what I meant by 'doing a Botha'. I meant playing shield cricket/bbl cricket. No disrespect to Morkel but Australia have plenty of better fast bowling options
Although Botha is now an Australian citizen.. We have Cartwright, all we need is KP and Merkel to become citizens and we Weill have an England Sh side playing for Australia.Ok Ok I'll stop now
seriously how long would it take for Morkel to be an Australian citizen,,,and presumably then be eligible?
