MicroChip, I'm a believer in the old adage that you pick your best XV first and then you pick your captain but I'll make an exception in the case of Warren Whiteley, just as I did back in 1998 when Gary Teichmann was an inspirational captain who maybe didn't have the talent or physical attributes of someone like Bob Skinstad.
If I was to pick a Bok skipper right now for the next few years it would be Whiteley.

 Oh, I see, so my wife is fair game for you to drag  onto the board and I'm suppose to sit back and not react....and that's after I've warned you to leave my family off otherwise I'd retaliate.
There's something horribly wrong with you.

Retaliate away, you classless punk. Suggesting your wife gets the occasional black eye from a cowardly bully like you says nothing negative about her own character (while speaking volumes about yours) . . . compared to you calling my wife a drunkard and a drug addict.
Understand the difference, Dense . . . although I'm quite certain your poor upbringing and low character will prevent any lightbulbs going off.

Dr Ikey thought this was Rooiurinal's problem 'Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.' The fact that Urinal could trash your marriage and then get upset if you respond seems to fit the description pretty well.

 Wow!!!!! I've missed all the fun.
As expected, the snivelling coward doesn't have the balls to accept the challenge. He yaps from afar ... but "scuttles" off like the c0ckroach he is when approached.  
I've checked the last 7 matches we played, Denise. I cleaned you up in 5 of them.  
Needless to say I haven't seen a challenge from you since. Probably due to depression. You usually suffer with it after a loss.
It's probably best that you remain cowering in the corner. It suits you down to a T.

Okay MicroChip, I'll accept your virtual handshake. I know we all like to think our Moms are something special and I'm no exception. She passed away nearly 20 years ago after a long and dfficult fight against cancer and I still think of her every day. No reason to drag her into some trivial and insignificant message board squabble.

 

P!ss Mint


Let me get my head around this sad little scenario......


Did you know anything about Denny's parents before stating on this board multiple times that he comes from low stock and that his breeding was low class, pointing a direct insult to his mom and dad?


How about the times you were referencing Mozart's family, in particular his wife? 


Does it matter if they are dead or alive, or currently battling some serious illness or that they have passed away years ago?  You certainly would have no idea, but pass insults directly towards them anyway.


You say there is no reason for others to drag your mom into this, but every reason for you to bring Denny's mom, dad and wife into this, and Mozart's family...... all the time.


You are fcuked up dude !!


If CC or anyone else supports this "thought process" of yours, they are also seriously fcuked up in the head.......


Cue CC to pull his "Integrity" card here.


No family, ever, should be brought into a board dispute or squabble, but don't ever start something like you did to multiple posters here, and then b!tch and moan when it is reciprocated because of something that happened in your family.


That same sh!t happens in all families...... you are not special on here.

He's been accused of not having any integrity and this has clearly upset the poor man's little world.

Never mind ... it is who you are. Embrace it. I'm sure you have other good qualities ... can't really put my finger on any of them right now ... but at least we've managed to establish that integrity isn't one of them.
No matter ... I'm sure your mommy loves you anyway.

Do you agree with your buddy P!ss Mint here?...... why not put it on record, since you normally never have any qualms with jumping in anyway.


Simple yes or no will suffice.


PS, I would prefer to not reply mentioning your family, as you have mine here , but if you feel it will assist you in looking like the more intellectual one here, fire away little man.

 So DA, whatcha think? Will our guys win? It's going to be everything that we expect, no quarter asked for, no quarter given, the Ozzies are hurting after a failed series against Sri lanka and we know they're are very good on home soil but the Perth wicket hasn't been one of their better hunting grounds.
I think the Protea weakness is in the opening pair of Cook/Elgar and lacking an allrounder whereas the Ozzies are heavily reliant on Starc/ Hazelwood and  Siddle. Starc I believe is carrying an injury but these are desperate times for them.
Our attack should be Steyn/ Morkel/ Rabada and Philander. Unless the wicket has been altered I would eave out a spinner.Morkel is an absolute must on a fast and bouncy wicket.

Denny, assuming bygones between us, and answering a question that was not asked of me, I think the Auzzies are going to turn things around in the tests. Although their pitches are similar to ours, ,making things a lot more familiar to our inexperienced guys, unlike say the sub-continent, there is just no compensating for home ground advantage. Especially in Australia. 
Some things that I think will sway the series. Dale Steyn is not in great form at the moment. He has been a go too guy for such a long time, but for me he has become a first change bowler, more than an out and out wicket taker like he used to be. Unfortunately I seem to be in the minority with this opinion, and I think the Proteas will rely too heavily on him, to their own detriment. I personally rate Rabada, but this series should establish weather he is a flash in the plan player, or the real deal. I suspect that latter. His individual performance will have a lot to do with our chances of success. 
Does anyone know if AB is fit for this series?

Radaba won't amount to much? Haha. So Michael Holding is totally wrong in what he says as regards tue clearly visible pace and skill Kagiso has? So yes let's ignore the evidence that already sits in front of us, as well ad the opinions of some of the best bowlers the world.yas ever seen and go with the racist as.s clown CC on this one. Should we really be surprised when ignorant tossers make ignorant and idiotic statements? Bottom line is that Kagiso has more pace and control than anybody else in SA at the moment.

Especially in Australia.(Prepared pitches are an accepted norm in EVERY country)

His individual performance will have a lot to do with our chances of success.

AB is recovering from an operation to his arm, he is therefor unavailable to play in this series. What a pity.

Don't worry Plum


CC is far too often blinded by his blinkers from always following other people


One only has to read his posts on here to see how much intelligence the poor boy has.


Maybe it's not all directly his fault, so I shouldn't really be too harsh on the poor laddie, and indirectly maybe something else happened along life's path that was completely unexpected or unavoidable that he just couldn't control or handle, to make him this way.


Strongs CC.... you will get there one day hopefully laaitie

I for one am happy that Kagiso and Bavuma look like the real deal and might play for the Proteas for a long time. Both seem like very likeable guys and both have ample talent.

People who hate quotas should actually be happy when players of color actually deserve to be there, and have the potential to become greats...isn't that we all say? Merit?

My feeling is that the sooner Kagiso spends some time with Waquar Younis the better. His natural lanky action lends itself to more swing then he is currently getting and if he can add a bit of late swing to his already dangerous repertoire then he'll spend a good long time doing well in all formats of the game.

Denny, I don't think Steyn has a been a great limited overs bowler for some time now. But in the longer format my bet is that most still fear him. Aside from his personal performance, i think his experience will serve the younger guys well.

Personally i don't care much for the limited overs stuff. The tests on the other hand, well i can't wait. I guess if the Proteas can rock Oz early on then their inexperience will start to show and they may fold.

AB said on Inside Edge the other night that Oz are missing those really intimidating guys like Hayden, McGrath, Ponting and Warne that could win games just by turning up due to the confidence they had and the respect that opposition showed them. And it's true. While Oz do have game breakers, they don't have that intimidation factor like they used to.

 Plum, I don't think Rabada needs to swing the ball, to me he is a more Michael Holding type bowler....Michael as you know always bowled straight. For variation he has the options of investing in a slower ball, a Yorker and a short-pitched(rib cage) type delivery.If I was his coach I'd keep things very simple seeing there's not much to change when we know  he can crank it up to 150ks. Just wish CC's head was on the receiving end of the delivery.

 "Denny, I don't think Steyn has a been a great limited overs bowler for some time now. But in the longer format my bet is that most still fear him."
For Dale to be at his effective best he needs the assistance of a wicket that swings or movement through the air and I don't  think the format matters. But yes I agree he is a far better test bowler than an ODI bowler these days.

Denny, he's not just a doos and proud of it, he's an Internet tough guy too. You know the type, can't be a man in the real world so he tries his best to project the tough guy image here. Because obviously we all believe in the prowess of digital hard men. Lol The reason I think Kagiso would do well with a bit more swing, especially late swing is twofold. Firstly, he has a great yorker, add swing to that and you have a deadly death bowler. Also, in India he'll need to be able to generate swing and in England he'll need to know how to control swing. We've sent many straight up and down types to those two places respectively and they've struggled. I do very much look forward to seeing him bowl in England. Regardless, he's an awesome prospect for SA cricket and I hope to watch him tear up tracks for a good twelve years. I'm chuffed that we've found Steyn's replacement anyway.
