He started the rot when he sooked after DeKock hit back at him and SA have been on top since....leading to the desperation we have seen and cheating saga.
Agree on Lehman......Langar will be the new coach and I'd expect Warner to retire from Test Cricket...Smith has stuffed up his IPL career too..
Wouldnt be surprised if a non event type like Shaun Marsh is made the new captain...WA boy, popular, experienced and most of all low profile in terms of creating problems...
Paine will be skipper.
Not sure about Langer as coach.
What the team really needs is some continual outside influence.
Not a team manager, but a couple of ex players, that travel with the squad. Change them regularly so they don't become part of the bubble.
They need to be the non smart ass type like a Katich, Gilchrist, Rogers that can look beyond the dressing room click and advise of any issues that may be foreseen.
I can't believe not one person saw these issues coming. CA should have been all over this stuff after the Rabada appeal.
There was always going to be a back lash.
