South Africa team selection

[Bahseph]

So after the Aus series when we lose 3-0...

We might win one if one of the batsman score runs. I back our bowling in any conditions.
EDIT: Massive IF.

A South African batsman scoring runs? What is this strange concept you speak of?

 

[Heboric]

What cheesed me off a bit and someone should answer for it. According to the commentary team, South Africa was offered a warm up game between the second and third test and they turned it down

It possibly would have helped... but really that is meant to be a break between matches at the end of a long tour.

I don't get how Phehlukwayo is so undervalued, when a Daniel Sams and a Luke Wood are being hyped to the moon and back while offering pretty much a similar deal...

 

[Stefan9]

As far as t20 goes.
Sam's average of 16 with a strikerate of 153 . Economy rate of 8.7.
Luke wood average of 9.60 and strikerate of 106. Econ 8.3
Andile average of 12 with a strikerate of 119. Econ of 8.47.

All three's bowling is pretty average but Sams has a much better batting strikerate.

 

[Prince EWS]

Noone hypes Sams lol

 

[andruid]

Bring back Ashwell Prince

Looks like we are going ecb way with separate coaches for red and white ball.

[Socerer 01]

Not the worst decision but don’t South Africa play very less tests in the next FTP? Why have an exclusive test coach in that case

EDIT: Massive IF.

honestly if the aussie pitches are anything close to what they were for the ashes, i am so jacked to see your bowling attack duel ours on pitches of great assistance to bowling units
