South Africa reverse captaincy decision
Just 24 hours after I posted about Ashwell Prince coming from outside the starting XI to captain South Africa in the next Test because of Graeme Smith's injury, it seems the board over in SA have changed their minds. They now want Jaques Kallis to captain the side.
I can't think of any possible justification for this - either it was a massive mistake originally, or it was a massive mistake subsequently....it seems that South Africa have the same board problems as we have in England! It would be interesting to know what triggered the change of mind - perhaps there was a media outcry in South Africa?

Who knows whether there were any behind the scenes ructions, but the official line is that on reflection, as he's not usually an opener they'd like him to focus on that for now. Interestingly, apparently Smith's very unhappy that McKenzie's been dropped, though maybe that's for Smith's own protection (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWY6BolU9IQ)
