Well if this is members of the squad to play in the World 20s then I think they should be discarded as they are the most useless bunch of cricketers to represent S.A.with the exception of AB the rest can be released to learn how to play with their franchises.Watching this debacle really annoys me, to think that these clowns are going to play for S.A. is embarassing. Time for Hudson and Gary to see what is what and dont window dress.
