Another shit T20 squad selected

No Rickelton, Stubbs, Breedtzke, J Hermann or LD Pretorious in the mix but de Zorzi makes it

This is why I can’t be asked with SA cricket anymore

South Africa Men’s Squad - ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026

Aiden Markram (captain), Corbin Bosch, Dewald Brevis, Quinton de Kock, Tony de Zorzi, Donovan Ferreira, Marco Jansen, George Linde, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Jason Smith.

Dave I have to agree with you.

But the quota formula has to be followed irrespective of the end result unfortunately.

Plus Stubbs and Rickelton both have been struggling with the bat in this limited over game so I am not surprised that they have missed the selection.

But I wish the selection all the best.

Both Maphaka and Smith have failed to set alight the SA20 with their performances so far. Maphaka has taken just one wicket so far in five outings, while Smith has managed only 69 runs in five innings. Maphaka and Smith are also part of a group of seven players who will appear at a World Cup for the first time.

It’s also important to note that Proteas selectors would not have paid too much attention to form in the SA20 as the squad would have been finalised some time ago already.

Pretoria and Brewis

Well Pretoria paid R16 500 000 for the services of Brewis, At tme during the trunament he looked rather average - but he also got good bettting and in he ed he was a onre-man show in the semifinals and is now in the final.

It is amazing in 28 days a cricket player earns R16,5 million (US$956 000).

Well Mike, It's an open market, it is what it is, if that's what they want to pay so be it.......just wish it was me instead of him LOL

The coach is saying that Jason Smith can bat in any position starting at #3.

I'd like to know how and why Jason Smith is a better batsman than Mathew Breetzke.

Well the Rand really is a joke outside SA /Africa.

But good luck to the players who live in SA.

Example:

1 Rand is worth $0.087 in Canadian Dollars.

It favor tourists and forei ners living in SA a hell of a lot, ahmburget and Chips and Coke in the U SA is not vcirca $20 - ibn SA it cost $3,50. For S A people procies are out of control - but the millionaires from Eurioope, India and France still prefer the Western Cape as residents,

King Charles had quite a number of royal cousins in SA.
