Well, Mr.Zulu has been given enough chances though he is in bad form, but could not prove himself. I do agree that he is the best player in 1999 WC, but his poor form started from then. Atleast he shd be given chance in the test team, and no doubt SA Cricket boasrd is neglecting his talent.

you nvr know..ashes is still far away..nobody knew stuart clarke b4 the current series against SA..and look what he's done!

Because he was given many chances in the previous tournaments and he could not deliver.More importantly there are better and younger players who have a very positive attitude waiting to join the team and they cannot be kept waiting for a long time.Besides I fail to understand why such a big issue is being made out of one players ouster.Is Ganguly some God that he cannot be dropped from the team.Why don't we just let the selectors do their job instead of pressurising them by blowing this issue out of proportion.

What do u mean why they are playing in SA? , Its because its a scheduled tour. U know, teams go to different countries from time to time to play. shheeshh

Well, there have been a few instances - but not quite matching the above.\n\nAs recently as in 2005 Brad Hodge scored 203 against South Africa in Perth. But just after 3 matches, was dropped on form.\n\nMohd. Azharuddin scored a century against the South Africans in his last innings, but thanks to the match fixing scandal, he never got to play gain.\n\nThe most unfortunate would be Basil D'Oliveira - a brilliant South African-born cricketer who had made his home in England.\n\nImmediately after scoring a superb 158 in the final test against Australia he was excluded from the England team picked to tour apartheid South Africa - apparently because of his race. \n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/not-cricket.shtml

HE DID HIS BOWLING DUTY PROPERLY ALREADY.\nBUT THE TEAM MANAGEMENT TRIED HIM AS A PINCH HITTER.\nUNFORTUNATELY HE CLICKED FOR SOME MATCHES.\nTHEN HE WAS IN DILEMA TO REGULATE HIS CAREER IN WHICH WAY.\nNOW HE NEITHER BOWLED NOR BATTED WELL.

He is one of the best cricket player (By the way, Cricket is a game played in countries like India, England, Australia, South Africa etc). He plays for India

Hi there.\nThat is such a good point. They say at 17 he was bought along for the experience factor, but how the heck is he going to get experience on the bench. The only experience he is getting is what the spectators are. If they were not going to play him they should have given the position to a more experienced player that was able to participate, left him home this time and not built his hopes up. He is obviously a talented boy so why not give him a shot. If he can't handle the pace or competition, sub him like you would any other player that was not performing on the day. The poor kid must have a million thoughts and doubts going through his head. I'm an Aussie and was really looking forward to seeing what he was like in the big league. I was excited for him, now I feel let down for him. To me you don't play a player that is a risk or cannot do the job, if that's what the management believe, why did they take him indeed?

I'm Dutch fan as well, I think the game was a complete mess. The referee was awful, and the Dutch team was worse. Why Rudd didn't play, I dont' know. The kind of match that it was, I think he would have made some kind of impact. KUYT played really bad. I knew it was going to be a low scoring game, I just thought it would be ther other way, not how it ended.

The coach issued a statement saying he had been suffering from an illness on top of other injuries. Guess we will have to wait and see when they play my Socceroo's. I don't agree that he is obese as many are making out. He is human and I doubt he will put in 2 dismal performances in a row. There are many talented and gifted players, young and up and coming players in that side that he has to now compete with. He can not possibly remain perfect for ever. He deserves the chance to redeem himself and we will all have a better indication after the next game.\n\nGood Luck to your teams everyone!

the 2nd Aussie Goal Kepper. His last name is Kalac, but I don't know his 1st name. His performance against croatia was crap!

rahul is a great wall of our indian team. he has done a great work as a captain. but due recent failures i.e. a great loss to our team. i hv the hope tht they r going to return in a winning note in southafrica a am 100% sure abt it. result of captaincy of rahul will improve definetly in the upcoming matches.

south africa sucks at the moment. we lost to a team ranked 103rd (namibia) in the world the other day. im not suprised we didnt qualify for the world cup. we dont deserve it at the moment.

Because Dravid is flop in his captaincy.\nSehwag is not so much experienced.\nGanguly had been a good captain.\nVery responsible to  team.\nVengsarkar has gone to meet him.\nYou will hear it in a day about this good news.

That would be a huge mistake. The fullback positions are very demanding, physically. It sucks that Heinze has not been seen much. I know for sure, the Argentine national team has been feeling the effects of his absence. I hope the coming year sees him in full fitness. He better be called up for the France friendly match in Febuary.

I think he lacks motivation for his players, he seems to want to be friend with his players rather than being the boss!  No good for sports - he's too laid back.  He must use all his passion in the bedroom cos he's pretty good in that department judging by the women he has had - lol.  He seems to have a group of players that he will never sub no matter how bad they are - he will never win anything with that attitude!  I'm afraid they should have picked a better guy to replace him as well the futures looking bleak for England.
