Proteas - The Choking continues

Got this pic from an esteemed colleague this afternoon. I suppose this sums up the situation in the Proteas camp at the moment. Cricket SA must be drowning in a pool of uncertainty as their representative team has failed to obtain silverware in several competitions since the tour of Australia in 2008/2009. If one were to ask me my predictions in the forthcoming months it will be as follows: Graeme Smith will be sacked as Captain immediately after the Windies tour and replaced by Hashim Amla. As a result of this Amla will feature in all formats of the game and will most likely open with Kallis in the shorter version of the game, Smith will come in at 3. A new vice captain will be elected, this person will most likely be Johan Botha who seems to be an excellent leader, especially when the morale is low. He to will feature in all formats, not only ODIs and Twenty 20s. A foreign coach will most likely be brought in. My guess will probably be John Buchanan, Saurav Ganguly or maybe Duncan Fletcher who led the English team to many a test match success, not so much ODI. We will bring in a few imports in the form of Tahir and Bodi from the Titans.
