Andrew Surman/South Africa

Just read the article about his decision not to make himself available for the South African national side.

Bit strong-or is it me-talking about his "snub" and "turning down the national side". They asked him, he said 'no thankyou' -and he's settled and playing in England, harbouring ambitions to play for England-where left footed players are not at a premium.

I worry that he might not get that opportunity unless he moves on from here and hope to hell that doesn't happen...but if he carries on in the same vein (my POTS so far) then he'll deserve his chance, just like Ruddy and Holt.
