Is hyperbole your best friend? "let himself and his team down like 500 times." A few times but not as often as you think. Herschelle is immensely talented and deserves another chance (after a brilliant 100 not out in a recent domestic match) "let himself and his team down like 500 times" - I'll let you in on a little secret Loots is 32 - hardly a youngster compared to Gibbs (35), but agree Loots should have been given a chance even though he is at his best in T20. Not as good in 50 overs stuff... @lungburner: Wow you like to exaggerate. Is hyperbole your best friend?

If ever a player was clearly over the hill - but Mickey likes a dop with the boytjie hey... Bosman maybe or some other youngster who hasn't let himself and his team down like 500 times? It's harder for an SA cricketer to lose his job these days than for an African politician.

Similar keeping and batting ability, BUT Smit can bowl leg spin. Love it. I’d rather have Smit taking over from Bouch than Kuhn…

We didnt choke this time. Pitch looked as if it flattened out as the day wore on, (i.e much easier to bat in the afternoon) Kallis, Boucher and Smith are 3 of the greatest cricketers we have ever had and they have plenty of experience and rightly should have a say in decisions in the team. Smith's the effing captain after all! Eoin Morgan is bloody good, but he's not even English, he's irish, he shouldnt be playing! Bloody poms, stealing everyone's players. It's chilled anyway, we'll beat them 3-1... Shut up Grant. We didnt choke this time.

England are a good side but we should take them to the cleaners. Our batters did not apply themselves and our bowling seriously lacks penetration. Lets hope the so called brains trust gets it right for the next game and today was just an off day. We looked flat.. England are a good side but we should take them to the cleaners.
