South Africa need feel-good story
South Africa’s fortunes at the T20 World Cup will determine how we look back at the last 12 months.
Making way for De Kock
South Africa must find a place for Quinton de Kock in their best T20 team despite beating England without him.
T20 money a real threat
CSA will have to embrace the rich T20 leagues around the world if they want to hold on to their best players.
Two all-rounders work
The decision to play two all-rounders in the ODI series against England was a good one and should be persevered with.
Proteas can turn it around
South Africa’s impressive victory at Centurion could be a turning point for them in the series but they must remain wary of England.
Proteas still too inconsistent
South Africa’s inconsistency in performances is a growing concern.
Time running out for Domingo
CSA must think long and hard whether to allow Russell Domingo to see out his contract, which expires in April 2017.
Mankad? Just follow the rules. Simple
What, I ask, is wrong with running out an errant batsman?
‘Transition’ not to blame
The Proteas did not lose two back-to-back Test series because they are a team in ‘transition’.
Proteas still lack balance
While South Africa have ticked some boxes in the top- and middle-order, a genuine all-rounder remains elusive.
Look at the positives
It might not have been a good year in Tests for the Proteas, but there’s room for optimism going forward.
Rilee Rossouw is next in line
If Stephen Cook makes his debut for South Africa at Centurion, so should Rilee Rossouw.
AB must choose his path
AB de Villiers was wrong to drive his own personal agenda for less cricket on the eve of the third Test against England.
Lowering expectations
It will be unfair to expect too much from Stephen Cook if he plays in the fourth Test at Centurion.
Change is overdue
The limitations of the Proteas coaches and the flawed attitude of the players can no longer be ignored.
