Presidents team to play Australia in practice game.

by Red Tue 17 Feb 2009, 10:11

SA President’s XI:

Alviro Petersen (Lions, captain), Craig Alexander (Lions), Gulam Bodi (Titans), Imraan Khan (Dolphins), Heino Kuhn (Titans), Ethy Mbhalati (Titans), Blake Snijman (Titans), Imran Tahir (Titans), Roelof van der Merwe (Titans), Vaughn van Jaarsveld (Lions), David Wiese (Titans)

That Bodi bloke looks rubbish, I've seen him in a few international T20s and there are some heard ofs including a couple I notice fail when I check scores on Cricinfo. We should be able to dominate this team if we're serious. I'm surprised the small Morkel didn't get a gig given that he won't be playing for them in tests. Maybe they could have also provided Prince with a game to gauge his form against us.

Imran Tahir. Is he the ex-Pakistani spinner who doesn't qualify to represent South Africa until April?

Interesting assortment of letters. They look like scrabble squares chucked onto a table to see what you can come up with.

Ethy Mbhalati - you're bullsh!ttin', right. Cool

The team is based on Lions and Titans as the other teams are involved in the T20 playoffs.

Tahir-correct.

The Titans aren't in the playoffs so the small Morkel should have played.

So he can strut his stuff in the longer form of the game. If you check out his first class average he is equal to AB, McKenzie et al. Would be interesting to see how he fares against us. If excrement such as Bodi is worth a game, surely the little Morkel is too.

Note to self.

Get some money on Bodi to score runs.
