***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

AB is keeping because Vilas had to be dropped. Rather than recall de Kock they opted to retain some poor performing batsmen, partly because of quotas.

 

[Stefan9]

1. Why is AB keeping when he wasn't doing it in India?
2. Would Rabada have been better off for this test instead of Steyn?

1. Because villas was rightly dropped but the selectors screwed up by going to ab as keeper. Qdk should been picked. Should never have been dropped from the test team to start with, was basically dropped based on poor odi form and 1 duck.
2. Depends whether Steyn was fit or not. Only Steyn and the medical knows the full truth. A fit Steyn atm is better then kg.

 

[nevermind]

"**** this game"

Stump mics have been really loud. Cool to hear some of their chat, but it means Gower's had to apologise for profanities on multiple occasions.

Who is poor performing?

Does Faf Du Plessis count as a quota player then?

 

[weldone]

I think they can bring back QDK and if Duminy isn't bowling on a turner he doesn't need to play (I would drop Bavuma if not for the quota)

 

[91Jmay]

How does a muppet like van Zyl stay in the team? Bavuma looks much better than him. Seems like this quotas thing is a nice excuse for some mediocre white players.

That wasn't Afrikaans what Morne was saying there .

 

[Cabinet96]

Is Monre Morkel a victim of Black Magic?

 

[Spark]

Poor Morne.

De Villers going back to keep now moving into stinker territory.

 

[Pratters]

Morne!

 

[Spark]

hahahaha no way

If Bairstow had done that there would be uproar, 2 absolute sitters he has dropped today.

Morkel deserved that wicket.

Well, he didn't need much time to move out of it a bit!

Morkel what a beast
