Sport

Pathetic display by the Proteas in India. They should all donate their match fees to charity. And send back Vilas, who is so inept at this level, it’s a joke. – Bates, Newlands

Cricket, 32 wickets in 2 days. A wicket that crumbles on day one. Millions lost in ticket sales. Caterers also losing millions. Take a bow, India. Or should I say, bow your head in shame. The spectators who paid for five days will never get their money back. As they say in the classics “It’s just not cricket “– Ron Wigley, Sunningdale

If Allister Coetzee is picked for Bok coach maybe all the anti-Meyer bunch will be satisfied. Oh, I forgot “transformation” comes into it, so politics will pick the team. The Springboks are not the Stormers. The next coach will fail as well, if transformation/politics/skin colour dictates and I will be the first to say “transformation “does not win games, quality does. – Tom Hancock, Riebeek West

I was hoping that Heyneke Meyer would be replaced by a coach who believes in attacking rugby. But we now have to put up with Allister Coetzee whose Stormers team had the worst try-scoring record in Super Rugby for the last five years. – Ken Ellis, Fish Hoek

I don’t understand why Saru would want to take SA rugby backward. What are Coetzee’s international achievements? – Robbie, Mitchells Plain.

When Allister Coetzee quit as Stormers coach most supporters were relieved. It would be an epic disaster if he becomes Bok coach as he would coach all flair out of them and only play 10-man rugby.

Politics

ANC, leave Zille alone. She’s the only premier who works for her money and keeps the Western Cape the top province. – Gloria Jones, Hout Bay

Every week we see another ANC department fail due to corruption or being incompetent. Not only small municipalities but SAA, SABC, the Post Office etc, all because of incompetent officials and board members earning huge salaries which they can increase at will. All on the gravy train. How long will we go downhill until voters realise what is going on?

It’s a sad reflection on the state of the country that the 16 days of activism are deemed necessary. What happens on the other 349 days?

The ANC chose Zuma, not the voters.

So once again the French, who never fight, are organising to get the English to do the fighting for them. – Enoch Powell, Edgemead

Could Joan Adams publish her qualifications to sit in judgment of Professor Tim Noakes and hence stop this potential farce. – Colin, Edgemead

Just in case your staff reporter does not know, in report of shooting (re Alban Petersen ) Lord is spelt with a capital letter. – Ann, Lansdowne

With the number of full-page adverts appearing in the Argus, they should be able to give the paper away. – Geoff Husk, Rondebosch

The Telkom directory is the most annoying service. I called 1023 and waited two to three minutes at a time. Once the operator answers the line goes dead. I’ve tried several times over and over. Telkom, I’ve supported you for years, but at your service is pathetic. I pay your bills on time. Please jack up your service. – Fuad Sawyer, Woodstock

Can someone please explain why High Level and Beach roads have speed limits of 50 and Main Rd does not. It’s a narrow road with cars parking on each side which buses, cars, lorries and taxis fight their way through everyday. Then taxis make a U-turn in front of Checkers. Just get one person to come and see how taxis race past each other just missing oncoming traffic. – J Williams, Sea Point

J Hofmeyer, the previous regime killed and tortured so that you can live a privileged life. – Faried Vallie, Belhar
