The Zimbabwean vs the South African to see who will stay in England.
I can think of a sportsman I’ve ever disliked as much as I dislike David Warner…and not even in that ‘love to hate him’ way I dislike opposition footballers…it’s more in a ’ I am so embarrassed this man represents my country’ cringeworthy way.
England would be mad to sack KP. The game needs more KP’s IMHO.

Agree. Warner is a good batsman but he is delusional if he thinks that SA are on the back foot. His technique isn't as good as he thinks it is and Vilander and Steyn will sort him out real quick.
Our bowlers are good, maybe (at a stretch) as good as SA, but their batsmen ■■■■ all over ours. Last time they were here AB devilliers and de Plessis batted out a whole day (almost) to save a test (which they did). Apart from Rogers, could any of our batsmen bat out even a session to save a test?

Some sort of a quota where they're only allowed one two three four five six seven guys born in a different country in the travelling party?
Some absolute howlers in the BBL.
Putrid, putrid lbw on Laughlin late last night.coulter nile is a fkg prospect. cant wait to see what he can do for aus
Ball never even got on line of leg and none of the commentators went too far on the ump.
One of the reasons I cant get into the T20 crap, its a gimmick game and it shows how mickey mouse the stuff is when they are more worried about the game moving on quickly than pausing for 10 seconds to get the correct verdict by a review system. Ive only watched a couple of games this season and seen half a dozen LBW's that wouldnt of hit a second set of stumps, wides called off balls clipping the thigh pad and no balls being constantly missed. Not good enough.
Not to mention a wicket that was given out caught behind, despire the fact the only person who appealed was the wicket keeper and that was just a slight lift one hand. Replays showed the player had missed the ball by about a foot. The bowler was rather amused and bemused while the batsman was flabbergasted.
Couldn't happen in a Test...
yeah that decusion against Laughlin was fkg terrible. that umpire should be sacked forever. I dont mind the 20/20 though, I probably watch it every night
More Pommy whingeing

I remember the first time Steyn sorted Warner out. Warner plastered him to all parts of the ground.
Warner might be a genuine ■■■■■■■ but he is a very good Test Opener. Something I never thought he would be.
At his best Johnson is better than Steyn. Hell at his best Johnson is the best quick in world cricket
Harris is every bit as good if not better than Philander
Siddle is better than Morkel
Our fast bowling unit I rate higher than theirs and theirs is ■■■■■■ good.
Batsman on the other hand.....
Whilst I don't think we will beat them we are a chance. South Africa proved again recently and have a long history of being afraid to win we on the other hand play only to.
The Ashes were great but I’m really enjoying the T20 cricket at the moment to the point where it’s a little overwhelming.
While we might’ve plastered their twos, RSA will be a pretty good test.
I still think, like their twos, they play too defensive too much of the time, which could backfire against a dogged side, which we are under Lehmann even if we’re a way off top class. And Kallis is a big out. So if we take wickets when we attack with the ball, and bat even passably well, we’ll give a good account of ourselves and keep it close.
Amla is having a bad run of form...getting bowled regularly playing the wrong line.
Smith's best days are behind him, don't really rate Alviro Peterson. De Villiers is a gun, and Du Plessis has to be got out.
love warner. Will be a superstar test player. Stop the negative stuff he's an Aussie and I think he's great. Will take it up to the saffersAgree.

bex and a lie down?
At his best Johnson is better than Steyn.
If you think that is so, then you haven't watched enough of him. Steyn at his best is eons ahead of Johnson at his best. Wonderful and consistent bowler that would have dominated in previous eras too.

Dumminy can bat, but really watching the series against India, minus a session they were pretty poor for the #1 side.
Du Ples, De Ville and Steyn pretty much saved them in various individual performances. And they're spinning department is a shamble.
Good onya Prior

Listened to a Clive Rice interview this morning. Wow ! Got stuck into the South African's for playing boring cricket and choking under pressure. I wonder whether South Africa should take the field.

At his best Johnson is the best quick in the world. At his best. Don't get me wrong I think Steyn is a sensational bowler I however think his best is not as good as Johnson's. His worst also happens to be a million times better than Johnson's worst.

So you want more KP's and the one we have is an embarrasment to you? You cannot have it both ways, you either want the Warner/KP type or you do not.
As for Warner, I encourage you to investigate him more fully and you might learn to appreciate the bloke more.

If certain off field behaviours are true Warner is a very ■■■■ bloke.
