Even if we did Ed, I'm sure they'd be labelled 'pathetic' on here by some... ;)
Too right sadly, the writing off of Sibley in New Zealand on here and elsewhere was pretty depressing.

Any of you getting a PR bat anytime soon?

I think a lot of people have Sondhi made bats, Protos is the Sondhi own brand I believe.

reckless From Faf.. awful when he's saving a game. That's like watching England normally. Game is gone now for SA as VVD gave so many chances in his normal knocks he just won't survive unless he has a day out. Malan battling hard, well batted lad.

I can't claim to know anything about South African domestic cricket but it seems a bit surprise to me that Malan has had to wait until he is 30 to play test cricket.  Looks a very well organised player

He has had some pretty decent competition for an opening slot until recently.

markham and elgar are the men in possession. He could probably have been given the 3 slot though given Amla's decline etc.

Looks far better organised than Heino Kuhn who opened when South Africa toured England in 2017.  Given South Africa haven't excelled with the bat in recent times it just seems a surprise to me that a lad with with a FC average of 45 hadn't been given a chance earlier than he has

Yes it is. Remember seeing so many of them as kid when I use to visit sports market in Jalandhar. Sondi factory is hardly 3 miles away from my home in India.

No idea tbf. Someone who watches SA domestic cricket regularly may have more clues. Maybe they have just as many clowns in selection as we do?

It’s interesting to note that in South Africa’s first class scene only three men average 50+. Thenuis de Bruyn, his replacement Zubayr Hamza and Janneman Malan - he’s the younger brother of the chap debuting in his match.

As for P Malan even if he gets a century, his long term hopes revolves around du Plessis, as Markram would probably move down to 4 and become captain.

The quotas thing will probably re-emerge at some point as well

South Africa have an odd system where for some reason their tier of multi-day cricket below the high level also has first class status. I believe it was mentioned somewhere that he only actually averaged mid 30s at the higher level.
