<p>Yeah, Rabada is a complete hack, worst kind of quota. Who knows maybe one day he will grow into a decent journeyman. - <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/550215.html'>http://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/550215.html</a></p>

<p>Er WTF did I even remotely denigrate the guy...? Get off your high fucking precious unicorn - would you like a pact with that as well? All I intimated at worst is that rabada may not have the same control that we have seen over a number of years from both the veteran leaders of the bowling attack. Young fast bowlers rarely have the same degree of consistent control that guys with 30+ tests and well over 100 wickets do</p> -

<p>Well because of this ludicrous two test series played during winter, we now have the opportunity to pull out all the stops for five days and knick a test series in South Africa.<br><br>
Go get em lads.</p>

<p>Ha ha, that would be awesome. Serve the bloody administrators right if you ask me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So far looks promising I think. If our batters can get there, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the Gary-Dale mashup, I'll just leave this here:</p>

<p>So Pakistan have gone up to #1 in the test rankings.</p>
<p>I guess thats what happens when u get rid of the match fixers.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Or the other teams start, what were Aussie out for in SL? 106? Now I'm not saying Smith fixed it... but it points that way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Probably.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well I just don't like him.</p> -

A test vs SA at home is the perfect time to fast track him back into the team! -

<p>Given the numbner of times he's turned us down in the last 5 years I'm going to go out on a limb he'll instead just pocket his 200k a year from Warks & another 100k odd from others & carry on telling us to piss off... </p> -

<p>Yeah true, no Morkel but Steyn is still in the team so he'd be best to stay in England.</p> -

<p>If I was a selector the feeling would be extremely mutual. His career owes a lot to the fact that NZ has accepted appallingly low returns just so they can have "a spinner" in the team. Look, I'm not expecting Warnie or Murali but another Vettori would be extremely handy right about now.</p> -
