Convenor of selectors Mike Procter, on Wednesday confirmed Cricket South Africa has sacked the Proteas’ selection team.

This follows Proteas coach Mickey Arthur’s announcement on Tuesday that he had resigned.

Arthur’s crumbling relationship with skipper Graeme Smith was reportedly one of the reasons the coach decided to leave his job.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) will officially announce his resignation in East London later on Wednesday morning.

Procter told Talk Radio 702’s Stephen Grootes that a meeting held last week with CSA bosses did not go well.

“Whatever transpired at that meeting led them to get rid of Mickey and also the selectors,” said Procter. – Sapa

    Do SARU’s President’s council run Cricket SA as well?

    This seems like the kind of nonsense that they would get up to.

    So in a nutshell, in the recent past, Athetics SA have had their head honcho “removed”, SAFA’s Raymond Hack has been replaced, and Cricket’s national coach and all of the selectors have been either fired, resigned of been the subject of constructive dismissal.

    Mr Hoskens and his henchmen had better start watching their backs. Looks like they’re the only SA major sporting code top dogs not yet touched by this phenomenon. (Unless we count Jukskei of course)

    Where are the illuminati/conspiracy theorists?

    4@ Boomninny – I saw you on the Rugby-Talk superBru page a few minutes ago… that is not where you join… you have to go to the superBru web site itself…. there you have to register first (with your E-Mail Address, personal details ect… and you have to choose a password…

    Once in the SuperBru web site, go to Super 14, then look for “join a pool”….. that’s when you put in the pool code (as appears right at the bottom of each page here)….

    Come on, blondie, you can do it!
