equatorHe has to stand next to Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis for long periods of time.
It is so much more than that.
Even when Smith is out on the field Boucher seems to set most of the field.
He is the spiritual heart of the team.
The obvious choice for vice captain.
And probably the toughest South African player.
When Smith went down, Boucher taking over made sense to me.
For some reason Boucher isn’t vice captain at the moment, Mittens Prince is, but with him doing what ever he is doing, and Smith off the field Boucher was the obvious choice as part time general.
Instead he was overlooked for Neil “toilet seat” McKenzie.
What an insult to a player of Boucher’s standing.
Neil McKenzie has been in good form for the last 18 months, until this series.
But he is a nut bag.
And in shit form, and not the person you want to lead your country, even for a few days.
Boucher is.

I quite liked Morne Morkel opening the batting. It’s like taking the idea of a nightwatchman to the very limit.
Irfan pathan opened in adelaide last year
Fall Guy.
With Duminy on fire they’ve got too many batsmen when Smith comes back. If they can drop a whitey then that’s an added bonus.
So give the crazy guy the managers role, if they lose it only grows Smith’s legend.
If they were serious then it’d be Boucher, or maybe Amla.
i am really perplexed how neil mckenzie is still in the team. maybe his funny way of attempting to play a ball, and then quickly leaving it while losing his off stump is mesmerising the team and selectors alike. and now he is captain!
nah. there must be a white quota.
McKenzie? r u serious? I didn’t even give that a thought.. i happily assumed it would have been Boucher..
A celebration of boucher is a tragedy for this blog. Hang your head in shame
