South Africa team selection

who will be sa's no.7 in the world cup? it think its currently marco jansen, although he is more of a no.8. maharaj is also a no.8

george linde can bat no.7, but he will not get picked.
 

Marius

International Debutant
Brevis and Ferreira get called up, as does Matthew Breetzke.

Quite like these picks, to be honest.

Bavuma in the t20 squad is a waste of a spot, and still think B swaenpool should be in these squads. Big fan outside of those gripes. Nice to see ferreria and brevis getting a look in.

Not that happy with the squads , far too rigid ..
We need to try out more all rounders. One of the reasons why we were in danger of not qualifying outright for the latest WC was because our balance was horrible ..

We'd have batting that lasted till No.8 and 5 bowling options .. Needed to see more all rounders

Yes having a deep batting line up while still having decent bowling options is key to success ..

So maybe with the current squads the XI for T20 may look like :

1.QDK (WK)
2.Hendricks
3.Van Der Dussen
4.Markram (C)
5.Miller
6.Klaasen
7.Jansen
8.Magala
9.Coetzee
10.Ngidi
11.Shamsi

ODI

1.QDK
2.Bavuma
3.Van Der Dussen
4.Markram
5.Miller
6.Brevis
7.Jansen
8.Maharaj
9.Magala
10.Rabada
11.Nortje

I always dont like seeing this, but its the times I guess...

So if this is the case what would a team like this look like , on batting we have good depth and a few players that is almost test specialists however bowling should be very interesting .

Marius posted this earlier, but here's Neil Manthorp's speculation around the squad.
Possible Squad: Dean Elgar (captain), Tony de Zorzi, Keegan Petersen, Stiaan van Zyl, Zubayr Hamza, Khaya Zondo, Raynard van Tonder, Sinethemba Qeshile (wk), Rivaldo Moonsamy (wk), Lutho Sipamla, Glenton Stuurman, Duanne Olivier, Beyers Swanepoel, Sean Whitehead, Kwena Maphaka,

Other possibilities:

Rudi Second, Ziyaad Abrahams, Eldred Hawken, Thomas Kaber, Joshua Richards, Dominic Hendricks, Jason Smith, Tsepo Ndwandwa.

Could they be tempted?

Dane Paterson, Kyle Abbott, Leus du Plooy, David Bedingham, Hashim Amla…
That really doesn't look too bad.

Some really good names and there is more or less depending on the draft, might be a good think of Bavuma is released and not picked up. Need to wait and see.
