@bruzza9 @AmorimEra_ I actually like that suggestion. You're not going to cover all problem areas in one window. You can cover 2 this window (CDM & GK), which seems to be our biggest issue so far this pre-season, instead of a ST which leaves you overrun in midfield every game & a GK who's a calamity
@grantbn6@gerryposthumus He played for the Northerns Amateur side for years and always did well- represented PHSOB & Tuks at club level. Feel that CSA missed the boat with him. Seriously talented cricketer and even better person.
@grantbn6 That Northerns side is 🔥 too. GVB is the current Gloucestershire red ball captain. Richards played SA under 19 a& then moved to 🇦🇺. Mofokeng played SA under 19s too and played for the Titans& Knights. Mothoa still plays for the Warriors. Nairobi captained the Northerns Amateurs.
@Ayanda_tso Average of nearly 35 at a strike rate of 130. Mainly played in experimental sides, other than a big series.
Can’t say you’d get many buyers 📖
Top 6 of just firepower? Seems to be working really well for RCB. Often comes down to relying on one person after losing early wickets.
@Ayanda_tso Reeza hasn’t been consistent enough at international level to warrant an inclusion in the conversation about building an innings around.
First it was drop in average, now it’s being leg side dominant. If it comes down to average, Rassie is the 2nd name on that team sheet.
@Ayanda_tso You’re referring to a T20 World Cup lineup. I’m sure that you’ve heard the saying “Form is temporary, class is permanent”. He’s gone to 2 ODI World Cups and a T20 World Cup. Experience is massive at tournaments like that… Did you follow him in the PSL this year?
@Ayanda_tso Need batters to build an innings around, regardless of the format. You lose 2 or 3 quick wickets with that lineup of yours and your back is immediately against the wall. Sure, it might pay off occasionally and you can score 240 but the reality is that won’t always happen.
@Ayanda_tso Agree to disagree, boss. Rassie’s been our most consistent white ball batter over the last 2 years. Has the ability to build an innings and accelerate towards the back end or go at a SR of 150 from the get go. You’ve only got firepower which is exactly RCB’s issue at the moment.
