devielers boasted too much

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I don't know the reasoning behind the selectors' decision to call up Philander, but it did seem very odd that they dropped an in-form player for an injured one.

I am inclined to believe the story.

It just seemed very very strange that SA would opt for Philander instead of Abbott.

It was a quota pick.  Come on folks, no need to beat around the bush.  Call it for what it was.

A selector said the panel  “had to okay four players of colour”  for last Tuesday‘s semifinal,

in which Philander was thrust in from the cold after an injury lay-off

to play alongside Hashim Amla, Imran Tahir and JP Duminy.

The 'pebble' was probably when AB said he couldn't win the WC by himself ... trouble was obviously brewing ... and hey you're right Snoops.

I do believe now it was a quota pick and that was the 'rock' .... as it didn't make sense selecting an injured player over an in-form one ... Cost them the WC most probably !!!

Pay attention to the pebble before the rock hits yuh !!!

That's right Cal.

I think the quota selections need to be abolished from SA cricket.  A lot of the coloured SA players can earn their selection on merit.  There will therefore always be coloured players on the team.  As long as that system is in place SA will always be a bridesmaid at the WC.

I hadn't seen that story until now, but I had been wondering whether that was the reason for Kyle Abbott's exclusion. It the story is true, I doubt anyone will ever admit it.

It's strange how things worked out, because a few weeks ago I questioned Abbott's place in the world cup squad, yet he certainly proved he deserved to be there.
