Must be close to a record for a List A game.

Must be close to a record for a List A game.

69% of the team's runs is the record for an ODI, so it beats that, but I can't find any List A figures.

Yes, IVA Richards, almost guaranteed to be close to the top of those kinds of lists.

What world have I woken up to:

Imran Tahir a captain

 

[ataraxia]

Tahir made his FC debut in 1996–97, huh. It's now becoming 2023–24: his 28th summer season of senior cricket (presuming he plays in this season; I think CPL is classified as 2023).

 

[ataraxia]

Since Shahid Afridi went, that's probably the earliest. Darren Stevens' was 1997. Anderson's is 2000. Chanaka Komasaru (look at that List A average and economy!) is 2000–01.

Well don't wanna get my hopes up, but we might have a new batting sensation on our hands with Richard Seletswane, only 18 years old ..
Scored heavily for St Sithians College ..
Got picked for SA Emerging.
Scored his 2nd 50 today in 3 innings and looked really assured.
Hopefully can make the step up in franchise cricket.

Williams WAG.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

So realistically I think this might be the Test XI for the NZ tour based on whose been picked before and whose available:

1.Dean Elgar
2.Tony De Zorzi
3.Keegan Petersen
4.Temba Bavuma (C)
5.Zubayr Hamza
6.Jason Smith
7.Sinethemba Qeshile (WK)
8.Shaun Von Berg
9.Glenton Stuurman
10.Duane Olivier
11.Lutho Sipamla

 

[Dendarii]

Bavuma ended up playing in the SA20, so he might not be available. Maybe Raynard van Tonder instead? But that team doesn't look too bad, so it seems we've got more depth than we might realise.

Not going to call up Bedingham then?

I think Bedingham will be in for Bavuma there. I don't think CSA can get out of the fact that Bavuma got picked up in the T20 even though he's captain.

I can't stress enough that Bedingham is gun, btw. I don't expect SA to do very well on this tour but if it gives him an opportunity to make some runs and earn a spot at full strength it'll be a good silver lining.
