Can someone tell me (in relation to RSA keeper)

[Sureshot]

Who the keeper for South Africa was in that year(s) Boucher was out for?

I can't think who it was. :help

 

[sachin]

Why do you wanna know for?I suppose it is interesting to see who'll come after Boucher,but i haven't heard of anyone really exciting.......though they have got some good cricket schools....maygbe they'll produce the next Superstar of World Cricket.We need more stars from other countries.

 

[barmyarmy]

I thought De Villiers was doing it.

 

[sachin]

Ohh,yeah!I heard the Channel Nine Commentators talking about it.Who was in the Squad for Boucher though?

 

[barmyarmy]

Tsolekile maybe?

 

[andrew_nixon]

Tsolekile maybe?

Yeah, him and de Villiers both filled in for Boucher.

 

[sohum]

Oh man, I remember Tsolekile. Purely because of his name. Silly killy is what the commentators had resorted to saying.

 

[Kratz]

lol yeah, some commentators called him " tilly willy killy " often.

 

[Sureshot]

Tsolekile maybe?

That's the one, cheers Colin.

Just came into my head (the person i was trying to think of) during the highlight this morning on Sky.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Tsolekile maybe?

Yup.

Some new comers could include him, De Villiers, and even maybe Taibu if he wants to!!

 

[andrew_nixon]

and even maybe Taibu if he wants to!!

Taibu (and all the other Zimbabwe players considering whats been announced today) will not be able to play for another country for at least 4 years.

Really? That is unfortunate. Its not the players fault whats going on in their country. These guys are still young but for other people it may mean the end of their chances to play cricket professionally. Something like what happened with South Africa during apartheid.

I know, and in fours year he will be only 26 . By then he should be good enough

There is the slim chance that the ICC would make an exception. Common sense would say that you'd reduce the residential qualification to 2 years due to the exceptional circumstances.

But common sense and cricket administrators rarely mix.

So, Nixon, ever planning to get into Cricket administration?
