Country: | Batting yes. Bowling not so much, good pace men just not enough to rotate them around. Spin is thin on the ground too. Hogg is probably our best spinner and hes 35 so not much longer. A lot of talent has been kept down just because of our phenonmenal First XI that has been around for the last 10years.

Country: | True but then the same can be said for South Africa since Pollock has left the team. England seems to be alright with spinners (Panesar isn't too bad). Still the best spinners are from the subcontinent and probably will continue to be so.

Country: | Exactly.
Sydney is our only spinner friendly pitch really and even that has nothing on the sub continent pitches.

That 'ripping' wicketkeeper photo is from Melbourne's The Age newspaper. Here's another. I like this one. This is how I remember playing cricket as a kid, out on a paddock somewhere. Also from The Age, it displaced a story about John Curtin, making page one in January 1985. The TEN kids are ALL brothers! Shot somewhere near you...Bungaree...  | |

Country: | Any views on the cancelled ICC tournament?
Today its 2nd ODI between SA and England, and The Morkel Brothers are playing!!! I must say my support for SA cricket is becoming less and less due to all the political interference. It was the one main reason we lost to Eng on Friday, but things like that can’t be said in interviews.
KP is a legend for what he has achieved, and is passionately hated in SA because he left for ENG, I say good on him.
I'm looking forward to the SA vs AUS series at the end of year!!
