Image
By


This week CSA announced the point system for the Promotion and relegation for the new domestic system which compromises two divisions. The points are awarded according to performance in each competition. The Promotion and Relegation system will go over a 2-year cycle.

The division 1 points system is as follows this competed across 3 tournaments.

Winner tournament 15 points 

Runner up gets       10 points 

3rd position           7 points 

4th position           5 points 

5th position           3 points 

6th position          2 points 

7th position         1 point 

Last position       0 points 

Division 1 Standings after this season 



 So after this season in Division 1, the team in danger of getting Relegated is the ITEC Knights who after starting the season on a winning note by winning the provincial T20 tournament that consisted of all 15 teams from both divisions. Note the provisional T20 tournament does not count towards promotion/relegation points. 

The other teams that could come into trouble and be relegated at end of next season are the North West Dragons, Hollywoodbets Dolphins, Six-Gun Grill Western Province, GBETS Warriors and GBETS Rocks as these teams had an average season in the season gone by. 

The 8 teams will want to have a very strong performance next season to make sure they are still in division 1 come the end of next season. 


Division 2 points System competes across 2 tournaments

Winner of tournament  15 points 

Runner up                     10 points 

3rd position                    7 points 

4th position                    5 points 

5th position                    3 points 

6th position                   1 point 

Last position                0 points 


Division 2 Standings after this season


The two teams leading the race for promotion are the Northen Cape Heat and Hollywoodbets Tuskers. South Western Districts are also in a strong position and another good season can help them put pressure on the Tuskers and Heat in the Race for promotion. This is going to be an interesting fight between the 3 teams once the 2022/23 season gets on the way. 

How all 15 teams will do in the next season will depend on the offseason transfers as players move around to different teams. It's going to be interesting to see who signs for which team and which teams manage to keep most of their players as they look to settle their teams and figure out combinations ahead of the new season. 


I don't see any drastic changes happening to these points tables come to the end of the next season Maybe in division 1 teams in positions 2 and 3 switch positions and the bottom 5 teams who have a 10 point difference between 5th and last position could see changes as it requires eg Knights to have a good season and one off the other 4 are in danger.

In division 2 also I don't see many changes except for the Eastern Storm will have a better season after a nightmare season. The Promotion battle will be interesting and should be between the Tuskers and Heat but a slip-up from one of the 2 could open a chance for SWD to sneak in the other 2 with an outside chance the Eastern Cape Inyathi and Mpumalanga Rhinos will need to win both the 50 over and 4-day tournament to give themselves a chance at promotion. 

Please do share your thoughts in the comment section.

SA20 review

By
 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining. The young standout SA batsman were:  Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50  Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15   Mulder 297 runs...

Proteas vs West Indies 1st test review

By
Protea's new era started off very well as they scored 314-8 on day 1 of the first test of this series. The day started with Proteas winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The Proteas got off to a great start as Elgar and Markram batted through too Lunch as they put together an opening Partnership of 99 in the morning session.  The afternoon session was again dominated by Proteas as a further 107 added for the loss of 1 wicket. The wicket that fell during the afternoon session was that of Elgar for a well-played 71 off 118.  Markram and the debutant De Zorzi then continued to bat untroubled as they put together a partnership of 78 off 127 before De Zorzi ran himself out and this triggered a collapse by Proteas as they lost 7 wickets in the last session of the day.  The Proteas were still able to score as they scored a further 108 runs in the last session. The West Indies had made a good comeback by Stumps Day 1.  The Proteas would add another 28 runs before being...
