Sometimes the quietest days can be the busiest and, as the England team wiled away their final hours in South Africa and packed their bags for the charter flight home, South African Cricket’s better legs were kicking furiously beneath the surface attempting to undo the damage caused by the abandoned tour.
CSA bent over backwards to accommodate the English side but the visitors were hell bent on aborting the tour since they already won the T20 series 3-0. In addition some of them were already eyeing the lucrative Big Bash tournament Down Under which they signed up for.
Different Test and One day teams playing simultaneously - wonderful news.
I have longed for the time when proper Test Series are played, while a T20 tournament circuit along the lines of Sevens rugby is played, and then in the gaps, both sides get together for ODIs.
Imagine have a 7 to 10 day long T20 competition held at 12 different venues around the world.
Thanks Neil, lets hope sanity prevails and some form of decorum returns to the board room. There is a danger otherwise of it becomes just like another parliament or local council session. We shall wait, see and hope.

Good to read the truth about what is going on, thanks Neil
