Regarding the SA franchises. I'm new, so please forgive if this has already been posted somewhere else.

Western Province Boland is now called the Cape Cobras. (and yes, they're planning to be venomous this season)
Last season they ended 3rd in the SuperSport Series (the 4day competition)

Captain is still Thami Tsolekile, the 'keeper. But this year the Cobras have a couple of imports. Ian Harvey from (Victoria, Australia). Monde Zondeki (Warriors), and The Zimbabwean skipper and 'keeper Tatenda Taibu.

I reckon if they both play, one of them will play as a batsman (that's logical)

Then of course, for most of the season they're gonna be without Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs and Ashwell Prince.

Anyway, they're playing the Dolphins (Kwa-Zulu Natal) the next 4 days. WIll be interesting.

Mods, Is it okay to post a thread on a Domestic First class match...to see how many safricans are interested?
