Should have left them all in Delhi to get some runs...:whistle:

Didnt see this happening....

Bangladesh captain and star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was banned Tuesday from all cricket for two years, with one year suspended, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.
The ban came after Shakib "accepted three charges of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code", the sport's governing body said in a statement.
These included failing to disclose to the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) full details of approaches or invitations made in relation to the Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe Tri-Series in January 2018 as well as the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL), it said.

"Under the provisions of the Code, Mr Al Hasan chose to admit the charges and agreed the sanction with the ICC in lieu of an Anti-Corruption Tribunal hearing," the ICC said.
"Subject to him satisfying the conditions in respect of the suspended part of the sanction, he will be free to resume international cricket on 29 October 2020," it added.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that the country's cricket board, the BCB, "will always be with Shakib and will help him in every way".
She said that while match-fixers often contact players, Sbakib's "mistake is that when he was contacted he didn’t give it too much importance. He didn’t inform... the ICC".
Only last week, Shakib led a brief strike by Bangladesh's professional cricketers to press for better pay and benefits.

WIth the provincial season pretty much getting under way, i wouldnt be surprised to see him go even further come the end of the season.....

I hope the selectors havent forgotten about this post lol... fantasic performance against the Cobra's where the Dolphins were in a deep hole and on the verge of being buried.. Roelofsen played briliantly and put the Dolphins in a winning position...

This kid can play!!! watch this space... (imo, could be an even better 50 over player)...

Kyle Verreynne definitely deserves a chance. Averaging over 50 in the longer format.

There is an under 19 player, Jonathon Bird, looks good for the future.

Definitely agree with Kyle... It should also just be a matter of time....

Haven't seen Bird play, but will definitely keep an eye open...

Scorchers vs Stars today...

Scorchers have lost both their Ashton's, which imo is a major setback for them.... Stars have lost Handscombe, however they have kept both Stoinis and Maxwell.. 7/10 for the Stars to win the game is the way to go imo.

cake walk.....

Sixers vs Hurricanes next up... Sixers are favourites, and rightly so, Hurricanes have been battling of late, however i feel the Hurricanes are one step away from clicking and at the prices, hopefully today is the day.. SIxers are 5/10 while Hurricanes are 14/10.. I think the Hurricanes could snatch this imo.

If the pitch doesnt break up or miraculously get some life into it, this test is heading straight for a draw..... Eng bat out first 2 days and SA bat out the rest

My Granny could bowl faster than the Proteas
