"Thank goodness you didn't take spectators' money. This downhill slide has been coming for some time and if CSA isn't lucky, with rain it will be a whitewash."

"Maharaj going for nearly 4 an over and only bowling in one innings? Everyone is quiet about him, it’s Maharaj and Mulder need to be dropped. Pick Maharaj only on subcontinent."

"We cannot accept a performance like this. We have enough talent so I'm afraid the coach and management have to take some responsibility. We haven't had a coach/management who are able to cultivate a winning culture in many years!"
