<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> -

<p>With the obvious exception of Amla this SA batting line up is either unproven or not particularly great ( of the guys with a decent number of matches Duminys record is ordinary for someone from SA and Du Plessis is good but not awe inspiring ) so disappointing to see them do what they did.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nichols, this is your moment. Taylor, getting run out in a test is pretty unforgivable but you're otherwise awesome so I'll let it slide.</p> -

<p>Surely this is Guptils last test match? He is a great ODI player etc but can't transfer that skillset to test match. Let's start with someone new</p>

<p>I personally reckon that depends a lot of Nichol, if he doesn't get runs then Guppy to five and a new opener ( don't know his name but has been mentioned a few times ) could be the go.</p> -
<p>I hear ya Donsteppa. He's got an awesome attitude and a big engine. Great to see him getting opportunities on pitches with a bit of life rather than playing the 4th seamer on dirt roads.</p>

<p>The technology seems to pretty clearly indicate that ball nudged Latham's hip as it went through. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you're the TV umpire, you've probably got to do four things all day - is it too much to expect that they should be done right?</p>

<p>Thanks Richard Illingworth!</p> -

<p>There's a lot to like about the Wag. He must be fit as fucken anything to bowl as often and as well as he does.</p>
