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.

World test championship final

By
  India vs New Zealand is where the focus of most cricket lovers is right now as both teams get ready to clash in the final of the world test championship. With the final set to happen in England at the Southampton cricket ground both teams are planning r they will make their way to England considering the testing times we in. Both teams will have to go into a quarantine of 10 to 14 days after reaching England before they can start practicing. New Zealand will be going to England before the end of this month as they have a test series against the English starting on the second of June. India, on the other hand, will only reach England on the 2nd of June in order this giving them enough time to carry out their quarantine and also gives them about 6 days of practice ahead of the WTC final.  Everyone is saying New Zealand will have an advantage going into the WTC final cause their players will have had some game time where Indian players would only have net practice and inter-squ...

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

By
  The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each.  The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship.  It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs.  The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

CSA 4 Day series Review

By
  The CSA 4 day series has come to an end with Titans being crowned champions of division 1 and Northen Cape Heat champions of division 2. There have been some great performances through the season with both divisions going into the last round with 3 teams still having a chance to win the tournament.  Division 2 was most dominated by Northern Cape Heat for the first couple of rounds until the loss to South Western Districts in beating Northern Cape South Western Districts kept their hopes alive as well as the Tuskers going into the last round any of these 3 could have been crowned champions. It was the Northern Cape Heat who would come out on top after drawing the match while the Hollywoodbets Tuskers also settled for a draw and the South Western Districts lost their match. Here are some of the top performers from this season. Division 2 showed some promise with players showing some good potential for the future.  Division 1 came down to the last round with the Titans, Wa...
