A very good friend of mine followed Aiden's school boy career at Pretoria Boy's High. He was a seriously talented school boy cricketer yet strangely enough was not deemed good enough for Northerns schools(Coca Cola week) let alone the SA Schools side. I believe he turned down some very lucrative offers from the UK,and instead he attended the Tuks academy..He performed very well at the under 19 Colts week and was made the SA under 19 captain which went on to win the world cup under the coaching of Ray Jennings.

Thank goodness he didn't escape the net. I agree he will become a great player but should bat at 4 imvho.

Funny that that very same Ray Jennings deemed a young prodigy with the surname DE Kock not good enough for franchise cricket :whistle:

Proteas will have to make a few changes. 2-0 down with 4 to play. Going to be a 3-3 draw.

First change they will have to make, it's to send a msg to the ground staff to grow grass on the wicket.... Ffs, after every test match there was comments about no grass etc... It's not blady rocket science.... Leave grass on the patch and we will have a distinct advantage....

I would bring in Elgar, yes he does not score quickly but he has balls the size of table mountain and will stick it out and let the batsman around him score and he can hold an end up. He is very capable of batting for 40 overs. But they have a plan and will stick with it as its far too much effort to have a plan b. Thats what is fundamentally wrong with SA sport, no pro activeness.

See that Cullinan is advising the Protea batsman to use their feet against the Indian spinners. Dear oh dear you are the last person to talk about facing spinners just mention Shane Warne to him and he runs for cover.

Never a truer work spoken CnC

Now lets see if India can set a total. Proteas pretty good at chasing so should be a cracker of a match.

this team thats playing today would not beat a kolpak team over a 6 match series

Correct, they just appear to be going through the motions. Markham could not captain a single canoe let alone an international cricket team

TV on remote whenever that motor mouth Haysman is on. He can’t shut up for 5 seconds and he talks just for the sake of it. Every time a batsman gets a 50 or 100 he jumps in or a wicket and never lets his co commentators call it.
