Nice to see muthusamy bag 12fer and top score in the second dig. Anyone know what the go with stubbs is?

Sounds like he has some Delhi (Colombo?) belly, also why Kyle Verreynne didn't play this match. Shukri Conrad was apparently keen to play him in this match.

Going in with 4 seamers does seem incredibly naive, especially when your lone spinner got loads of wickets in the first test and then gets 2 in the first session ..

It seems that they only have one specialist spinner in the squad. That's a very bizarre decision for a tour of Sri Lanka..

did Linde sleep with all of the selector wives and daughters? one thing to not pick him because he refused to be a sub in first team, why not pick him for a tour like this?

Yeah it's not like we are short of Spin Bowlers ..
Prenalen Subrayen would have taken a bagful of wickets in these conditions..

This tour is not about the bowlers... give Sipamla, Coetzee time in SL. Give Swanepoel and Maphaka experience and see what they made of, but not going to be making the first team quite yet. What this tour is really about, is the batting. Who of these batsmen stand up and impress such that they will be selected for the current poor SA batting line-up.

Spinners also need to have experience in Asian conditions where they are the main threat from Day 1 , considering that Muthusamy bats in the top 7 it should not have been a big ask to include another spinner in the side while still rotating the seamers in the matches . We had Tony De Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs bowling their part time spin today which is an indictment on the selection policy , you wouldn't need to be bowling them if it was the right call to play 4 fast bowlers , the home side has 4 spinners playing this match so no doubt our batting unit will get plenty of practice against spin .
