Something is not right with SA team.

The way they lost to Pak and now to India. No fight shown.

 

[vandokkum]

This guy has lost so much respect over the years, his lack of courage and integrity has overshadowed his amazing talent. Please for the sake of your country, retire from international cricket.

 

[TahirFan]

The guy should retire as the ODI captain of South Africa

He needs to retire ASAP. His fans don't deserve him. Such ungratefulness

Oh yes, he is doing a massive favor by continuing to captain the side when he is legitimately one of the worst captains in the history of cricket. How ungrateful we are.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

I think as a batsman ABD should come at three and miller at 4 with Faf at 5, they faf is more sensible and can guide the team .

 

[Madplayer]

For the betterment of the team, FAF has to take over. He won 8 out of his 9 games as captain when ABD was injured. Looks like a natural leader of men.

 

[Mamoon]

SA need de Villiers and Amla to go if they are to stand a chance in the World Cup. They carry too much baggage and will choke again. They are their two best players but have no guts at all. Give Faf the captaincy and bring in some fresh youth.

 

[Hasan123]

With you as captain, South Africa will keep coming up short.

South Africa dos not have much in 'fresh youth'. Our youngsters are moving to greener pastures in England, Australia and New Zealand

Behardien was our top performer in our local domestic ODI tournament

So you see we don't have much talent left

Yes that is true, but they will have to replace them in a couple of years anyway.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Your best player doesnt necessarily need to be the captain. Morgan , Sarfraz arent the best players of their country but better captains. Faf should take the captaincy from AB and AB should start coming at no 3.

 

[Tusker]

Exhibit# 827437434 as to why nobody should take the bilaterals seriously anymore. Some deluded fans still cling on to bilateral achievements

 

[squarecut]

we have seen it time and time again in bilateral matches, and also in group matches of ICC tournaments that South Africa crush their opponents ruthlessly but they choke as soon as they have to play a knockout match. The South Africans have to seriously think of measures to avoid choking in ICC tournament knockout matches.

 

[Buffet]

A very poor captain .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fauf grew up under Dhoni with CSK. He probably knows how to get out of holes. They sure are mentally strong. Same Fauf and ABDV played on day 5 against India to save the test under pressure. SA as a unit don't play as a team in crunch iCC matches.

That is true but they have to throw their youngsters at the deep end rather than selecting guys like Behardien or Stephen Cook. The more opportunities they give, the less inclined the players would be to pursue the Kolpak option. Maybe the new Twenty20 tournament might help in that regard. Ultimately, they have to take a risk like they did when they appointed Graeme Smith captain in 2003. There's no reason to persist with failures like De Villiers as leader, especially when they have one of the greatest captaincy minds in the game in Faf.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Daryl Cullinan has been pushing for ABD to open in t20s and no3 in ODI's for 4-5 years now but is never taken seriously. For once they need to listen to that guy.

Aiden Markram & Theunis De Bruyn ?

I see Behardien's name in 31 in Momentum One Day Cup 2017 top run scorer.

 

[Aman]

SA need to get rid of AB and Amla, they're not going to win a ICC title with those two.

Give Faf the reigns and let him shape a champion side for 2019.

 

[LegendAli]

Absolutely no shame, look at the way he's smiling and going about at the start of the interview.

 

[Aman]

Have SAs turned on AB?

 

[LegendAli]

Have SAs turned on AB?

Please explain why this is so surprising?

Even Umar Akmal was once a gem of a player, now no one likes him.

36k posts and I have to explain this to ya?

 

[Bilal7]

Real South African fans don't want AB to retire. Indians posing as South Africans do, however. He's still the best ODI batsman in the world and has a huge role to play for his country at the 2019 WC. Should give the captaincy to Faf but only a total idiot would question his place in the team.

 

[Pete Rose]

Trying very hard to not call it a mental thing.
