***Official*** Sri Lanka in South Africa 2016/2017

**** like this is what's going to destroy South African Cricket, the board must be more proactive in the promotion of the sport and need to try and garner a bit of support for the first class cricket in the country, and the government needs to seriously focus on tackling the crime problem in the country and stop forcing quotas everywhere and move to a more merit based system.
Who is selected not on merit?

What are the odds of KG being rested for the last Test?

An attack of Philander, Olivier, Parnell, and Maharaj isn't terrible, to be fair. And will probably still bowl SL out for under 300 at the Wanderers.
Test cricket is test cricket. He should play the test and miss 90% of the lo stuff imho.

With an average of only 32 after 41 tests I would say duminy is a very lucky guy to still be playing test cricket...Don't believe its color but I would have ditched him an age ago.

Rabada is in his early 20s. He should be playing as much test cricket as possible. Resting him worried about his injuries would be paranoid and would only hurt his development.

If I recall he was ditched and proceeded to dominate Franchise cricket hence he's back.

Oh god, have SA fans got to endure another SL test? You poor bastards.

Shocking touring side. Should only ever play at home so they're competitive. Seriously rather play WI or the Zimbobs than SL at home. They're the worst travellers since steerage passengers on the Titanic.

And about six billion one-dayers!

The pitch is being prepared under a tent with the bad weather in Joburg in recent days and there is showers forecast through out the week so that pitch won't see much sun.

I reckon 4 seamers is on and at Wanderers it would be fine in normal conditions.

Would be great to see Olivier get a chance and Parnell has earned an opportunity again. It would also be nice to see de Bruyn replace Duminy, but that is unlikely to happen.

Defo think it's a major chance and agree that they will keep the same top 6. Imagine Theunis comes in and does well and then AB has to come in. Could make it even more complicating.

I think so.

But nice to see Jon-Jon Smuts get a call-up, he's been one of those guys whose worked hard at domestic level for years, and he had a good T20 campaign this season.
