Dave
Don't expect much in response here. Mozart hates De Kock with a vengeance because he replaced Graeme Smith in ODI's and that is enough for viciousness without limits.
After all Smith made 10 centuries in ODI's at a strike rate of 80 in 197 ODI's played. De Kock only made 8 centuries at a strike rate of 87 in 51 ODI's. According to Mozart no competition here De Kock is utterly useless .

Just caught up on the game Fattie? What happened, never paid your Sky bill again? D e Kock is fine until he meets express bowling. Talk us through how he lost us the WC semi. Miller got 30 on the deadest pitch known to man....whoopie doo, talk us through how he flopped in the WC semi.

You have me confused with somebody who wants to debate with you Tokkie. I want you to find other friends and leave me alone. But as long as you come soeking every day, I'm going to have to keep humiliating you. Go away and I promise you are the last poster who I will trouble.

ure - but to leave your idiocy to mislead members calls for a response. You never humiliate me - I just laugh when you try to do that, because it is so childish.
Just on question - how do you manage to be consistently wrong on issues of impo rtance?

So what you are saying is other members are too stupid to figure things out. But you Tokkie who can't manipulate simple numbers are going to interpret my posts for them?
Gosh I wonder what your fellow posters think about you implying they are idiots.

Actually Tokkie I thought you might defend Miller's semi performance, which actually was one of his better shows. But trust you to only defend your avatar.

I ignored both the idiotic threads you posted over the last three months about De Kock and Miller because it was clear that your downright idiocy is not really what is needed on this site - logic is. For the rest I think that it depends on players to play through low points in their careers and prove themselves later on. Some players have had too many low points and that makes them vulnerable - De Kock and Miller never have been in the latter category.

Not really Humungous. Obviously anybody who plays for the Proteas has to be competent and has to have had big performances. But can they perform when the pressure is really on......for de Kock that means can he play express bowling .....and for Miller that means can he play a big innings when others are failing round him. So far there is no evidence of either of them doing that. So we will see the occasional big innings....but when you need them to come through, lookout.

Every game is important on international level....okay so if we beat Zim it's the same thing as beating Oz. Do you really believe this rubbish?

India is not Zimbabwe - Mozart. We have to perform against top teams. We beat NZ in a recent series - and we are doing very well against India - which are positive signs in cricket.

Dave a good innings by de Kock at last.He is a class batsman but he does not deliver most times at the wicket, unfortunately.
Watched him at the WC and was disappointed with his batting.....he just did not deliver when needed.
Trust he will settle down and show us his class batting soon on a regular basis.
Also do u think he should open the innings or bat further down the order?
Thanks.

As indicated by Dave De Kock was out for two months with an injury and had no playing time before the squad departed for the WC. Nobody can play himself into form in a tournament like that.
I am not worried about De Kock at all. In the long run he will be tops. In ODI's he will with 51 games only surpassed Smith's number of centuries soon enough. As was remarked in discussions by Indian Commentator De Kock is a top class player. His record speaks for itself - he has had 8 centuries and 6 half-centuries in 50 ODI's.
I think that with experience he will even become a better player than he already is. What will grow rapidly is the amount he is paid to play IPL rugby. At present his income from that is circa R6 900 000 per year. After his latest performances that is likely to exceed R9 000 000 next year. The IPL is not about to pay that kind of money to a player they do not think worth his value. Good luck to the youngster.

Thanks for the update about de Kock.
I am pleased to hear that he is making a lot of Rands and I trust he can continue and improve as suggested.
Regards.

Lat years calculations was done based on an exchange rate of circa R8 to the dollar. The present exchange rate would take it to nearly double the figure quoted. De Villiers and Steyn earned about R15 000 000 and R12 000 000 respectively last year.
This for only about 12 weeks of cricket played. I think that De Villiers will pass the R30 000 000 mark next year.
The IPL is a huge cash cow for the top SA players - funny enough Amla did not get any offers last year - but all of De Villiers, Steyn, Duminy, Du Plessis, Morkel, De Kock, Rossouw and Miller will be laughing all the way to the bank. Rabada is also to start going that way too.
Since they are already well-paid locally, it is unlikely that they would actually bring the money back into SA at this sta ge.
