6th Match - England v South Africa (18th March)
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Expect SA will play this side. Only position up for debate guess would be abbot ahead of either morris or wiese but as he also got hammered in the one warmup game they will go with both allrounders imho.

Think that Abbott must play in place of Morris/Wiese. Can not go in with only three bowlers. Think there is an outside chance of them playing Phangiso as well... bowled economically in warm-up games. Possibly not at Wankhede stadium though.
Phangiso will only play on a rank turner, won't get that at mumbai. Abbot depends whether they feel his bowling offers more then either wiese/morris offer as a package. Morris did bowl really well here in the last warmup game while abbot got smacked.

Phangiso could play if the pitch is slow, doesn`t have to be turning for him to be effective. His biggest asset is his change of pace. Morris worries me, I really rate him but his bowling can be very inconsistent, I think playing Morris and Wiese is dangerous. I think you could have the team correct, but it worries me as you can maybe get away with a dodgy 5th bowler but not 4th and 5th bowler at international level. I would be less worried if Duminy had decent form with the ball. SA top 6 has to do the hard work, we do not have high enough quality all-rounders, if Morris or Wiese are having to bat for more than 2 overs we are probably in huge trouble already.

Both Wiese and Morris are just asking for troubles. Also I would rather bet on Phangiso than Abbott. Amla, De Kock, Faf, ABdV, JP, Miller, Morris, Steyn, Rabada, Phangiso, Tahir

Full compliment of bowlers. Amla and QDK in the line-up and no Behardien... at last SA selectors are being sensible. I seriously wonder if the last 2 series they have just been playing combinations to get people back into form. Worrying all us supporters....

Good to see SA going with bowling heavy line up.

This WC was always going to be the most difficult for England in Indian IPL conditions.
Are there any other main nations that have just 1 IPL player in the team?

Yep. I also feared they might pick Riley ahead of de Villiers. I like Riley and all, and I'm aware de Villiers has been pretty awful in T20Is, but that would have been madness.
