*Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

I would not 100% believe this...

cricbuzz was the one reporting that but could always be the good old tactical niggle

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Oh my god! SA team selection is exactly what I hoped for based on squad... tough on Ngidi but much better balanced. And Markram given many chances so hopefully Zondo can do something good with this opportunity.

Haha my first thought was that you'd love it

Definitely looks a better balance than last Test.

Its is what will get reported... and probably also forced Zondo inclusion. Which I`m not unhappy about.

Markram has been crap for a while now, Zondo deserves a chance here imo

 

[GRAB]

Strongest batting xi for sure... Mulder hasn't had as good a time with the ball in County but if he keeps a tight off stump line he could create pressure.

 

[Bahseph]

Tough on Ngidi but for the purposes of team balance you can understand him being benched instead of Nortje when Mulder is playing.

 

[GRAB]

Markram and to some extent KP2 have been looking amazing, cruising to that 10 to 40 stage and contriving to get out. KP2 still has some rope left at least...

Well they say Ngidi is injured, I just hope if he wasnt injured this ridiculous team gymnastics would not be done. Not a fan at all.

 

[trundler]

Glad to see SA playing a normal amount of batsmen.

Of the team selection or the team gymnastics?

A drunk toddler would have better balance than SA had in the last test.

Nice of Elgar to remind people the series is at 1 - 1 at the toss. You would swear it wasnt....

Team gymnastics, where we end up playing players out of position so we can cater for other players

 

[Bahseph]

Petersen tends to get out of single digits though. In 10 Tests he has only been dismissed below 10 once. But has been dismissed before 25 on nine occasions in 16 innings. He makes a start,then goes for a drive and gets out. Markram keeps getting out in different ways,and most of the time for attacking shots that he doesn't have to play.

It is not... we have already lost. SA can't compete with Bazball!

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Off to bed. C'mon Saffas. I'm hoping 3 more NZ cricketers are unhappy in a few hours (Stokes, McCullum, and Patel)

 

[GRAB]

Best thing for sa maybe first day rained out and start in sunshine?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Get a climate.

England in June back to its regular shenanigans.

 

[Heboric]

Whats the weather like for the rest of the days ?

 

[TT Boy]

Will the test go ahead? Read that the boxing at the O2 on the weekend might now be off because of The Queen's passing.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Cancelled.
