*Official* West Indies in South Africa 2022/23

[WpGuy]

That's a bit harsh on Klaasen. He has a first class average of 47.24, so is able to make the side as a specialist bat.

He is old never done it when it counts in one dayers or t20s ints don't see him doing it in tests, he is like the afrikaans AEE pick lols coaches favourite.

He can bat these stats say batting 7 bowling 4 or 5. like mulder except mulder should be a better 7.

An average of 31 at fc level isn't good enough to be batting 7 in tests, particularly when your team has a weaker batting lineup.

I don't like Petersen at 5 I would much rather see him at 3 or 4.

think 4 and bavuma 5, 6 mulder,7 kyle

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Mulder is good enough to try bat at 5 or 6 and have the keeper bat 7.imho

Yet to get a 50 in any format for South Africa, would be a big risk to play him at no.5 or no.6 we don't play enough tests to take that risk in test series , he needs to show he can score runs at no.7 first then move up the order if he gets a run in the side .

 

[Dendarii]

Shukri said he prefers klaasens batting.

I thought he'd said that he preferred Klaasen as a keeper, but I've checked the quote again and it could be taken either way.

I've always viewed him as a wicketkeeper-batter, so for me it was a straight shootout as to who I wanted. And that's Klaasie.

Oh that's gonna send shivers down opposition spines

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Big movement on that ball

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This SA middle order is brittle and fragile?

 

[BazBall21]

Pretty commendable fightback this from WI in fairness.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

What kind of technique is that from Muthusamy? Absolute clowns

 

[Dendarii]

This SA middle order is brittle and fragile?

Maybe only a small consolation, but it's an improvement on the entire batting order being brittle and fragile.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

We'll be lucky to get 300 at this rate .

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Thank God for this chap called Extras , he's keeping our score respectable

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Pretty commendable fightback this from WI in fairness.

Very good can only play what's in front of you ..How guys like Jerome Taylor and Fidel Edwards must wish they had the chance to bowl at this pathetic batting line up

Other than Rickelton, how would you change this SA line-up?

 

[Bolo.]

Jansen side on next to the stumps looks so strange. They come up to his ankles.

 

[Dendarii]

Is it a good idea for Jansen to stay out there if they have to bandage his finger? I know it's less of an issue with it being his right hand, but it's not like he's a well-set top order batsman.

 

[BazBall21]

Jason Holder's strike rate with the KK. Has anyone ever been so extraordinarily dependent on ball materials? Chris Woakes probably I guess.

 

[BazBall21]

He certainly wouldn't have had the nice 2018-2019 peak playing in the 2000s and would probably be remembered as a bits and pieces batting AR. Could see him averaging 35 with the bat due to how flat WI was in that period. They did play Australia more in those days though which wouldn't help.

Whois your great team than?
