No problem for hijacking the thread. Just pleased it got a response, BL. Zondeki's 5 for in the A team shows he is in the selectors' minds. Statistically he has really performed this year. It would have been good to hear whether he is actually doing something different. Ntini suddenly leapt a few levels pretty much overnight. Maybe Zondeki's getting there. Having said all this, Steyn has suddenly moved up many leagues from the bowler we saw two years ago.

South Africa are clearly doing something right, and it does make Pollock's non-selection easier to accept (even though I like his runs).
