Current Test rankings will surely see the SA side slip down to the West Indies very soon. It is sad to see the demise of a great cricketing nation and who can no longer compete at the highest level.
The South African Cricket Team is touring India currently and they are playing on Sunday in the first international against India with a T20. I haven't paid much attention to the team for a while and had a quick look who is in the squad. It made for some sad reading as I know they are sticking to the government guidelines on the make up of the squad.
I am just being brutally honest and I wouldn't pay to go and watch them. They would have to pay me and I still wouldn't as I have better things to do. I feel sorry for the Indian public as this is not a proper team and is a total farce. I think Zimbabwe could give this team a run for their money and feel sorry for the few players who will be carrying the team.
The team is on a hiding to nothing and it shows where the standards have gone down the drain. I don't blame A.B De Villiers for retiring when he did as the writing was on the wall. The cricket scene in South Africa has been a joke for a while now and if you take 3 or 4 players out of the team there is no team left that can compete.
South Africa is different to every other country when it comes to sports as the Government lays down the rules to how the team is selected. Sixty percent has to be of color even though we are 25 years in with the new Government. Surely a team is based on performance and what a player offers skill wise. The local cricket has been diluted so much that maybe this is what is left from the talent pool and it is one sport that has deteriorated very quickly.
I honestly hope they get smashed as the Government needs to see what they are doing is so wrong and is just racist in my opinion. I won't be watching as it is not something I can support.
