He's got 100 fc wickets @21 but only takes 1 or 2 wicket a game, hard to label his bowling his stronger suit given the ceiling his batting has.
Marius
International Debutant
I didn't say he couldn't bat, I said bowling is his stronger discipline, in my opinion, and I don't think he can be called a batting all-rounder.
On the strength of what discipline was he picked for this Test match?
BazBall21
International Vice-Captain
He's got the stroke-play but not the technique or innings-building ability. Frustrating. Bowling is probably his better suit against sides with good pace bowlers.

Malan's fc form has been a bit shaky recently hasn't it? Remember him getting a few low scores in the middle of the season.

Was on some tough pitches in Boland , but I like his tenacity he got a 70 in his last FC game to save a match , I want that in the middle order some balls . I also think he has a good conversion rate , too many batters in the SA team get a start and don't kick on ..That's why Bavuma should be no higher than 5 .

I agree on dropping Elgar. Malan has been off the boil for awhile now and also don't think his position is 5 (or 6). I like Richards, but would prefer to see de Zorzi open instead. I would pick van Tonder before Richards and play him at position 3; I would also, look at Breetzke first. I don't know what Petersen has done to offend he has looked good when playing and deserved the shot. And I think there is a huge issue in not playing a batting allrounder, my preference is Mulder.
The point here is that this current batting order is young and largely untested outside Bavuma and Elgar, we will all have preferences and biases as to whom should be playing first. The problem is not the current team selection overall its that its the first time we have given players deserving of a shot a proper shot; the problem is its taken 3 to 5 years to get to this point of actually trying to build a decent test team.
batting, cricket should just be about bowling

Huh, as soon as Elgar gets dropped as captain he actually scores some runs, go figure. Anyway haven’t been particularly keeping up with SA players (who has?) but why wasn’t Markram in the tour against Aus and why isn’t Veryenne here now? (assuming injury for both otherwise neither makes sense)
Also what the hell is SA of all countries doing debuting a 30 average FC fast bowler lol?

Markram was dropped for Aus tour... and Klaasen was preferred as keeper for this tour. Been a change of management, selection and coach.
Watch and wait.... Coetzee will be one of premium fast bowlers in the world in two years,

Lacks brains. It took him several years just to stop bowling everything from the edge of the crease and he still struggles to plan anything. Rather Jerome Taylor-eqsue in that regard.

It's not the being dropped as captain, it's being back in South Africa. Elgar was scoring runs at home when he was captain, he's just incapable of batting in any other country.
