Kieswetter reveals England ambition

Another disenchanted Saffa keen to show (in his words) SA what they missed out on. Maybe none of them want to play under Smith.

Kieswetter's a bit of a cock-knocker by all accounts I've. Looks to have the makings of a quality keeper-batsman. Again, he needed plenty of work when he got here and, IMO, he hasn't progressed as well as he should've thus far.

As for his England prospects Maybe better than having a little SENO in the team.

So soon we will be touring England to play against our A team.

Maybe. Can only see KP, Trott and Kieswetter playing for England out of the incumbents - unless we fail to realise that Ryan McClaren is a medium-paced dobber whose calibre with the bat is questionable.

Well Strauss is technically Saffie as well.

Aye, in the land of dick-cheeses and dildo-f*ckers. In reality, he's English. Same with Prior.

Maybe Dexter and Malan, if they're good enough.

And have the poms reciprocated at all?

Personally, I've got a squeaky clean 'penal chord' and have no urge to bounce on a 'vibe'. Cheers.

Well Dan in my time alone you have had

Dolly
Greig
Lamb
Both Smith's
Radford
KP

and probably a few others.

Is 'kies' the Afrikaaner word for 'bed'?

It's the Afrikaans word for choose.

Someone had to say it!!

You know what, I've seen R Smith, A Lamb, A Greig quite recently. They aren't looking sprightly. They aren't looking England 'A' material. I could be wrong, I've seen Lamby and Smith smack a ball, they've got it still, against similar age groups. I'm just not too confident for them against youngsters.

Ryan McLaren looks a decent enough player to me. Wouldn't be surprised if he played a fair few ODIs for England without ever making the grade for the big boys game. Could be wrong...

Judging on his performances in the SA domestic competition he is unlucky to have been overlooked by their supporters. Especially considering some of the crap like Telemachus they selected for the World Cup in the Caribbean.
