South Africa team selection

Coetzee has the most important element of hype though

 

[WpGuy]

7 fer for b swanepool in the most recent games with 8 more wickets to take, currently tied with maharaj for most wickets in the season and has the most by a pacer by 5. Should be playing with SA soon, seems like a real talent. He can bat aswell, don't think he's an international #7 but would be nice to have the extra bit of batting 8 and under with jansen at 7.

I don't think shukri is going to go with jansen at 7 he said he wants a 7/4 split.

More importantly he has x-factor and anybody watching him can see that.

Do you need x-factor in an attack like SA's though? Ngidi-Jansen-rabada-nortje all offer different things, and they also have both a gun finger and wrist spinner, both of which can hold a stick.

Who is the gun wrist spinner that can hold a bat?

I convinced myself that harmer was a wrist spinner somehow don't mind me.

Other than they just dropped Ngidi for Coetzee... x-factor is exactly that, something extra that can turn a game.

Will be interesting to see if we play Coetzee as part of a 4 pace attack or play Maharaj or maybe fall back on the 6/5...

Conrad apparently wants to go 7/4 with an all-pace attack.

So, maybe something like:
Elgar
Sauce
Petersen
TB
Rickelton
De Zorzi
Klaasen
Jansen
Coetzee
Rabada
Nortje

 

[Stefan9]

I believe shukri sees mulder and muthasamy as part of the batting group.

It will be something like this

1.Elgar
2.Aiden
3.De Zorzi/Pietersen
4.Temba
5.Rickelton
6.Klaasen
7.Mulder/Muthasamy
8.jansen
9.Coetzee
10.KG
11.Nortje

If wanderers is still spinning as much as it did during the sa20 then a spinner will come into it next week.

If he sees Muthusamy as part of the batting group then he needs to be sectioned.

this is very light on bowling no? unless Sauce is Markram

 

[Marius]

Correct

 

[StephenZA]

I think he will play Mulder at 7. Question is will he drop Maharaj for Coetzee. Brave man if he does.

Gonna stick up for my boy here. I think he could be a serviceable 7 if a spin-bowling allrounder is what Sukri wants. As stated before I would have went with Linde though.

Yup, not sure what the issue with Linde is. But I know he basically said he doesn't want to tour if he's not going to play so maybe he's not seen as a team man.

Yeah he's not really a batsman but it's not like batting Jansen at 7 either.

 

[Dendarii]

That's not a particularly clever thing to have said. It could very much be the reason why he's fallen out of favour.

that’s kinda yikes to say when your competition is Harmer and Keshav

 

[Dendarii]

Yeah, Muthusamy does at least have a number of first-class centuries to his credit and bats top 6 domestically. And I can see where they might be going with him. If it's a pitch that's not going to be too helpful to spinners but you don't want to do away with a spinner entirely then picking the one who bats the best makes some sort of sense.
