Hashim Amla Named New South African Test Captain

You gotta be kidding ...I not going at look at Origin of Names ...

The Dutch Afrikaans were playing Cricket since they invented Apartheid .

Then do not suggest they are Afrikaans...

Smith? Prince? .......etc

If you knew your history, you'd know that these names are Dutch.

If you plan on telling us that there is no difference, we'd appreciate it if you would go to  :

Amsterdam or Rotterdam and tell the locals what you think.

1. Dale Steyn
2. Lance Kluesner
3. Jacques Kallis
4. Jacques Rudolph
5. Gary Kirsten
6. Peter Kirsten

Fella we are talking Captains?????? Are we not?

Okay ...I give up ...You tell me how many are Dutch origin 

I'm not disputing the fact that Amla has leadership qualities, and the fact that he is well behaved and gentle are certainly an asset to the team. However his record has shown that he isn't that keen to lead. He first resigned from the captaincy of his domestic team after only one year in charge, then later he resigned from his position as South African vice-captain. I'm just concerned about whether he can handle the pressure of being the man in charge for an extended period.

And yes, AB is the test vice-captain.

hhhmmm...Looks like i need to get a Microscope.
