The 14-strong Australian Test squad for their SA tour is the surest signal yet that the Baggy Greens’ selectors feel a need to rebuild.
The ICC's Haroon Lorgat has signaled the start of the countdown to the top-of-the-table showdown between Australia and SA.
Andrew Symonds's international playing future is in serious doubt after Cricket Australia's directors ruled him out of the tour to SA.
On his arrival back in South Africa, hero JP Duminy seemed mildly amused at all the fuss, describing it as "unbelievable."
The bad boy of Australian cricket will not be bolstering the Baggy Greens’ squad for their return series in South Africa shortly.
Australian cricket appears to be shifting closer to full-blown crisis, just over two weeks from departure for the return series in SA.
South Africa’s cricket team will be presented with a fresh batch of challenges after scaling new heights against Australia.
Australia, it seems, have a slightly questionable plan to bamboozle the Proteas on their SA tour - by way of a veteran leg-spinner.
The Proteas will have some hefty bank balances to show for their efforts in beating Australia in both the Test and ODI series'.
"Viva - Proteas". "Anything to declare? A victory!". These were some of the banners waved by fans who flocked to OR Tambo Airport.

The gung-ho, 'we are the English, the might English' attitude of the England cricket team was plain for all of us and their opponents to see, writes blogger Chris.
