How South Africa became Australia

How South Africa became Australia

Fast scoring in the first three innings now means there’s lots of time left in the game for the chase

South Africa is the new Australia

South Africa is the new Australia

We were the ones with skills, scoring at a good rate while the Aussies dropped catches and conceded overthrows

The old order changeth?

The old order changeth?

Why Gelb doesn't worship the Don

Why Gelb doesn't worship the Don

I may be a cricket-obsessive and I may be helping in a very marginal way to produce the ‘cricket world.’ But I am not a cricket fanatic or fundamentalist, it is not a religion for me

Five stars

Five stars

Ashwell Prince is now the ideal number five, the mould for the position having shifted 180 degrees from Dexter to Steve Waugh (or maybe Allan Border?) Five is now the ‘glue’ of the batting order, the one around whom the rest bat.

Wisdom of the crowds

Wisdom of the crowds

Watching a Test match is still a great way to spend a day, and for your kids to learn the game

Give the umpires a break

Give the umpires a break

Optimally there should be four umpires per match but even with three rotating, umpires would spend only two sessions per day on the field.

I don’t expect that Mugabe will relinquish his hold on power anytime soon ..

To BEE or not to BEE?

To BEE or not to BEE?

The real problem is deficient corporate governance, affirmative action is simply the context for the fight

Zimbabwe's apartheid

Zimbabwe's apartheid

Unlike white South Africa, neither Mugabe nor his supporters seem to care much about cricket, sport generally, or their image in the West
