Re: Majola hits out at South Africa's 'mental strength'
Smart people talk with conviction and clear direction. Good statements and good decisions.
Majola is one of the problems in SA cricket. The last proper person that ran the system was Ali Bacher. Majola is a clown.
South Africa had a very good coach who took NO nonsense, not even from the overblown egomaniac Smith. His name is Ray Jennings and he was thrown out by Majola and his ilk after a very good stretch as coach because some of the senior players could not take his strict no nonsense approach. Players Ray coached are Andre Nel and Hall - the fighters in the present squad.
Throw out the present selectors (last good one was Peter Pollock), and put in Kepler Wessels, Pat Symcox ( no nonsense hard liner guys).
Chuck away the quota system and select the best. Cricket has been totally normal for more than 20 years by now. Without quotas, South Africa would have a proper spinner at the World Cup, a proper spare batsman not Loots, a proper spare fast bowler not Telemachus, and Kevin Peterson at number 5 instead of Prins.
