South Africa team selection

Kenneth Viljoen

International Regular
The question is whether he bowls well enough to take on the fifth bowler duties. While Mulder may not have a strike rate of 100, 94.53 isn't far off and he's a better bowler than Bosch.

And if you're proposing Bosch as a sixth bowler, then would he make it ahead of Ruan de Swardt? Again, not as high a strike rate, but better batting and bowling averages. So it's not as though Bosch is head and shoulders above other allround options.
You haven't watched domestic cricket recently if you're talking about Ruan De Swardt ,he's in horrible form

Dewald Brevis got his first List A 100 today for the Titans , but North West got the win thanks to a stunning 89 by Meeka Prince , he looks a prospect for sure.

These youngsters are really talented ,
Cunningham is 20 , Pretorius (17), Teeger (18) , Seletswane (18) were all the batters SA Emerging needed to chase down the score against a Knights side that hadn't lost a game until the final.

Brevis seems to have hit a bit of a purple patch in List-A recently. Two run a ball hundred's 100's when his team collapsed for ~220-230 and a 90 odd in a 3 game span. Ferraria also making runs and taking wickets, same with B Swaenpool. Plenty of list-A talent floating around for SA.

Annoying how little Brevis is bowling though. I reckon SA will be keen on him being sixth bowler when he's in the side.

I`m worried.. starting to like the SA team, and have some hope again! I know this is bad.

Except for VdD...

You looking to much at the names. Plaatjies is considered 'black african'. And Nealan van Heerden is considered 'coloured'.

Rosier is considered 'coloured' because of mixed heritage.. he comes out of the Northern Cape. Just as he would never have been considered 'white' enough under apartheid.

I like most of the batsmen selected, not such a fan of the bowlers outside Duanne. But I suppose that is where SA have its biggest issues, in the batting.
