Good luck to Faf and co who have to tell him he sits out a Newlands which is now the quickest wicket inSA according to Hawkeye.

If I was forced to make changes right now... regardless of anything else. Bring in Hamza for Amla, bring in Mulder for de Bruyn/Bavuma.
I don't think Benkenstein is the best choice as batting coach, I'm actually fine with Gibson overall. I do like how the selection process has been pretty consistent and open. It is just can we make difficult choices. Faf has to stay and we have no other choice for captain at the moment. Elgar/Markram is the future choice.
Need to pick the next 2 best young batsmen whoever they are (Bedingham/Breetzke/Malan etc) and get them into the squad and into the team before December next year to rebuild.

Good luck trying to not play Philander at Newlands..... or dropping Steyn/Rabada. Maharaj not playing?
Great athleticism from Rabada.

Go with 5 bowlers. Quinton at 6. Drop de Bruyn.

With our batting line-up.... if our top 3 bowlers can't do the job, then the 4th best makes no difference.

Have to say Shan Masood looks a completely different player to his last run in this team.

Sounds insane but they might end up having to drop Steyn.

We have to go Philander , Steyn, KG & Maharaj but geez has Olivier given his everything and more here.

Thought he looked really good in the first innings with a very good technique and then you see the average. He also scored a very good 75 against us on debut a few years ago.

Getting into the SA pace team is tough tough tough... I mean Ngidi has not exactly done anything wrong!

Yeah, looks much more at ease here. Every time he faced a quality swing bowler during his previous stint, he looked a walking wicket. Boult especially made him look silly at times.

Struggled with spin also.
From all accounts though, got a really god attitude, got the head down and earned his way back into the side. Compare him to someone like Umar then well night and day.

Personal opinion, but Olivier has to play the 2nd test. If that means Dale sits out then so be it

So when Ngidi's fit again, does he come back into the squad as the fourth seamer or does Olivier stay there? If only we had similar problems in deciding which batsmen to leave out.
