I like the friendly chat about Gibbs and him being the OG Proteas aggressor. But in think that was more in limited overs cricket. I remember a very nice 1,2,3 with Smith & Kirsten. Which was also a WP top 3. And they held it down, with so many high scoring combos.

People also need to get out of the mindset of making wholesale changes to our test team against Bangladesh , have you guys seen their bowling attack?? They've got pace, swing, seam and spin, They've beaten Aus in Aus,can't be underestimating them.

This is professional sports, you can critique a teenager fairly. You also wouldn’t like it if a matric came and got promoted at your job ahead you 😂

Bedingham cannot be a test no 3
Said this before this series start itself
Infact a top 3 of Markram, Ackerman and Bedingham is non sustainable and highly volatile
No grafters
Attacking shotmakers
Not ideal position
Ackerman& Bedingham needs to bat at 5&6

That’s not the issue here, the issue is the number of black players who weren’t given the same benefit of the doubt.

It's hard not to root for players like Angel Reese man, nothing like witnessing a pure dawg mentality

Again, all players who were actually good at that age

Francois Steyn was actually good at that age 😂

The same could have been said in 2007 when Jake White picked Francois Steyn over De Wett Barry and Marius Joubert.......look how that played out

With a few quizzical responses here is the rationale:
- Lazy on D (doesn’t track across, jogs)
- Never in the right position at the back (50:22 target with acres of space when he plays)
- Prone to (highly unnecessary) forward passes
- Attitude seems (unnecessarily again) aggressive and arrogant, escalating nothing moments
- On attack, runs at 45 degrees, shutting down space, skips, then goes into contact, never offloading (only flinging long ball when it’s not on)
- Not physical enough in contact
- Never a turnover threat
- Only covers one other position (maybe)
- Way better options already performing, notably Siyaya, Willie, Quan, Luan

Are you happy with this Willie description?
