The biggest challenge for our cricket administration is to get a better standard of opposition for the national side. We seem to be playing an awful lot of cricket against Zimbabwe which is a bit of a joke.
No disrespect, but there is a lot at stake here, and we need opposition that will not only help us develop a terrific side but also excite the public.
Let's be honest - the public doesn't really care about the current tour and most people would have trouble naming anyone in the Zimbabwe team.
The only slight chance I'd give Zimbabwe is bowling first in lottery-type situations on poor wickets.
This isn't the best preparation for what shapes up as a very interesting series against South Africa. The administrations must develop the clout to persuade the ICC to give us a better standard of opposition.
