Keegan PETERSEN
Yaseen VALLIE
Aaron PHANGISO (sla)
Riyaad EMRIT
Akhona MNYAKA

Reserve batsman like Petersen/Vallie not really big hitters. Go Werner Coetsee for his batting over Phangiso.
Not the strongest bench strength. Janneman Malan could play in the top 3 a bit. Likes to take the bowlers on.

A spinner could easily come in for a seamer.

Got the wrong KP there. Keegan is playing for Bloem, the real KP for NMBS.

Leus DU PLOOY
Rivaldo MOONSAMY (wk)
Calvin SAVAGE
George LINDE (sla)
Wahab RIAZ
Carmi LE ROUX
Tshepo MOREKI

*Not the greates pitch at Benoni so having a banker like Elgar at 3 after the two big guns will be a blessing in disguise.
** The 3 experienced SA all-rounders in Wiese, Albie & du Preez
*** Very exciting bench strength with young Saffers. Du Plooy (hand-eye) & Moonsamy (Buttler type), Linde very exciting spinner, Savage to step in for Albie, Wiese, du Preez, Two left-arm strike-bowlers in Riaz, Le Roux

Pieter MALAN
Aviwe MGIJIMA
Senuran MUTHUSAMY (sla)
Denesh RAMDIN (wk)
Dayyaan GALIEM
Thomas KABER (slc)
Mausi SIBOTO

* Think a lot depends on which keeper they go for which will effect balance. If they go Ramdin then Vince misses out from international position.
** Interesting to see Kaber and his chinaman and he bowl with Rashid.
*** Otherwise looks well balanced but doesn't shout out favourites.

Cody CHETTY
Nicky VAN DEN BERGH (wk)
Marques ACKERMAN
Kelly SMUTS
Mitch MCCLENAGHAN
Mthokozisi SHEZI
Migael PRETORIUS

* Think they will need all the international batsman. But rotation will bring McClenaghan in. Excited to see M.Pretorius and Dupavillon together at some stage though. Looks a decent team.
** Little Marques Ackerman is a good finisher. Small but packs a punch.

* Nice touch getting KG and Olivier together.
** 3 spinners needed for the Wanderers ?
*** Kruger had a bad injury but can be awesome at the top for them.

Shadley VAN SCHALKWYK

* Very competitive squad. Think they could be up there. Got there duel bankers in Smuts/Ackerman at PE with spinners.
** Pace attack not the strongest but generally a slow pitch there and smart bowlers like Birch/Khan/van Schalkwyk with cutters

* Had to leave out Zondo
** Finn & Morkel the two been-poles. Could get messy or could work a treat at Super Spot Park. Nice spin variety and change-ups of Bravo & Frylinck with their hotting down the order. Big.

Rowan RICHARDS
Lizaad WILLIAMS
Craig ALEXANDER

* Went with Taylor as the keeper. Mosehle could come in for McLaren/Mulder I guess.
** 4 spin option for Paarl. Shamsi, Wasim, Mendis and Simmonds as must.
*** Also gone for short squiddy quicks. Eric Simons knows his consitions.

Apparently Agalethou has committed himself to SA which is interesting. Seemed like he had a sweet gig in the UK.

 

[Firebreaker]

Half of these players wouldn't have been selected if they transformation target.Good thing tho for NZ and England

Think he was released twice in England.

Played for SWD last season & did well enough to earn a Titans contract.

Was chatting to a guy on Friday who has played with him. Apparently his cricket brain is amazing.

Is it right that 1 rookie has to start a game ? 23 or under by 1 September & not played for SA ? Minimum of 2 in a squad.

Bloem City Blazers : J.Malan, C.Fortuin, Mnyaka
Benoni Zalmi : Du Plooy, Moonsamy, Moreki
CT Knight Riders : Smith, Muthusamy, Galiem
Durban Qalandars : M.Ackerman, B.Fortuin, Subrayen, Dupavillon, M.Pretorius
Joburg Giants : Kruger, Gous, Hamza

I like the rookie ideas, give exposure of potential good player to experienced internationals. I would actually prefer that a rookie played in every game.

Very good idea. This the positive from the tournament. In the old days playing with hardened pro's and current internationals in 1-day & 4-day cricket was but times are changing.

 

[Firebreaker]

I like that there was no transformation target otherwise half of these deserving players wouldn't have got the chance
