So insightful, as always! The IPL franchises' investment confirms two things that, I suppose, we already knew. 1. The South African school system is the best in the world at churning out world-class cricket talent, year after year. 2. The politicians have managed to decimate professional SA cricket such that IPL franchises can no longer harvest from our leagues but have to get them basically out of school.
All very valid points---but as we get closer to the Big One we have a 22 year old Marco sitting on his bum while we try again and again to prove that Wayne Parnell is our saviour---he is a retread, time to dump him once and for all--Jansen is in fact a better bat than him anyway. The more he plays the better he will get.
Sending Trsitan in before David Miller was just plain stupid--and Reeza not in the side is crazy--if this is Boucher inspired thinking then its just as well he is going---Mind you it depends on who is calling the shots above them all!
So lets not expect too much then we wont be too disappointed when the wheels come off.
IPL bought SA teams not cos of talent but to form base for worldwide T20 which include America Bermuda then Eng then Oz/ NZ all our players and every talented one from others will b contracted to World T 20 league….!!
Hi Manners. Hope you well. Im going off topic here, in your opinion who so you think is favourites to win the upcoming world cup? And what are South Africas chances?

Thank you Neil, nice to know we have such talent coming up the ranks. Enjoying SA versus India.
