earlier on his career there could have and probably were better/more expierienced players, can't blame the other players for keeping him out of the starting side can we??
I just think it cheapens the National jersey of any country in any sport for players to pick and choose when they do and don't play. Obviosuly if there is injury or they have a form slump and don't get selected you would understand someone missing out, but just so someone can feel a little bit warm and fuzzy when they run out in a milestone game is stupid. Anyone can shoot me down if they think it doesn't but thats my opinion and i'm sticking with it
so he would have notched up 100 Tests 2 years ago only god knows where? so what if he was 2 test away from doing it and 7 tests away from playing at Newlands? He would have set out that long then decided to come back and play?
