South Africa Senior Discussion

Hard luck to the OD management team - it was very close and we were certainly worried on that pitch against Espinosa. Fortunately (for us) we only lost 4 wickets to him!

That match could have gone either way and when you were only 3 down, it looked like the Cup was yours.

well done dave, you guys deserved it!


devastating loss for us but i think yoie would agree that overall the cup was a success

[leaguegod]

enjoyed the time in charge, we made the semi and it was a pretty good effort at that


at this point, i'll let everyone know i won't be running this season and plan on taking a bit of a break from any nat commitments unless a manager wanted to me to chip in here and there with either south african team on a limited basis

good luck to whoever runs!

I Would like to thank everyone that voted for me.

I Will be posting match updates and rating here along with tour squads. Should anyone feel that they have a player that should be in the ODI squad or need assistants with training feel free to post here on the forum, or end me an message in game.

Hopefully the next 2 seasons will be an enjoyable one for all SA followers and hopefully we can go close to winning 1 of the World Cups
