What's needed after the world cup is a limited overs 'A' tour. I prefer playing South Africa because then we get to see who really has what it takes with their backs against the wall. We need to start building new squads. The ODI squad is actually a nightmare to get into right now. Some of the guys ...

42 ball 100 from their opener. I reckon this Pakistan U19 side would defeat all of the Franchises. The seamers in this group are definitely better than those playing franchise as overseas players. If you look at the u19 Asia Cup scorecard you will see that same guy blasted over 170 against India in...

Nick, Ben and Shumba are doing ok in the current domestic T20. I think we will see changes after the world cup. Got a feeling BT, Tony and Dion are on thin ice.

Knackers meeting icc residency criteria soon and alleged quota is what’s going on here a cynic might say

It is so obvious that he will be captain eventually. I give it 18 months max

If they flop Elton is in deep trouble. Watch this space...

For me this is good. There is literally no excuse for failure. I would never want our team to fail so I can only hope Elton is correct. They have tried his formula. Let's see. If it fails then he must be held accountable. The one thing maybe people can't see yet is that even though it's not always o...
