Switched on last night (SA time). Saw a kid in white overalls rolling down a hill, saw a player being interviewed with his (not very happy) kid in his arms. Didn't see a golf shot being played. Switched off.

Congratulations to the Lions for an incredible fightback - and congratulations to Ken Borland for his regular updates in the absence of live coverage from ESPNcricinfo and, more shamefully, from Cricket South Africa.

Sickening - and that was literally how I felt every time that woman appeared on my TV screen. Well done for extracting the information.

Devastating news about the death of Mike Procter. No written tributes can do justice to the thrill of seeing him in action, charging in off his long run or the power of his batting. And he was a thoroughly decent person.

The recent SA/IND & AUS/WI series shows what a complete waste of space 2 match test series are in the context of denying viewers and teams the prospect of a final result.

3 match test series should be the minimum from the next test cycle imo (won't happen btw).

Two fascinating Test matches and a wonderful win by West Indies. Pity WI (like SA) are consigned to so many two-match series. Very difficult to build consistency with so few matches.

If you want to argue with what was said here then you are part of the problem. Well done to the champ, Dricus Du Plessis for talking honestly about our government to the world.

Appalling decision by Cricket South Africa to strip David Teeger of SAU19 captaincy supposedly because of security concerns. As per their statement it is their duty to safeguard their players and any agitation against the captain should have been firmly resisted.

South Africa's programme of two-match Test series is totally unsatisfactory. Maybe think of four-day Tests? Three four-day Tests, with two days off in between, would take 14 days, as opposed to 13 for two Tests with three days off. Most Tests don't last beyond four days anyway.

Had the pleasure of 2 days chilling. I watched lots of cricket, SA vs. India. My keenest observation of that excellent win is that racism is something that exists mostly online. A totally diverse crowd of people, all enjoying every minute of the spectacle. Laughing andโ€ฆ

The difference between David Bedingham and some of the other young and not-so-young batsmen tried in recent years is startling. Class and composure. At 29, hopefully he has a good six years or more of run-scoring - on the rare occasions when we play Tests.
