Still miffed about the Bedingham non selection in the 50 over stuff ..That was an easy decision and Walter failed to make it happen.I don't regard Reeza as a part of the new Gen but he is someone we need to move on from. Andile as well with Mulder,Jansen and maybe Simelane around.
Can't say I expected much from Smith or Reeza. I'd like to hope our Test batsman (Markram, Stubbs and Verreynne) would be able to adapt. Also Mulder should be above Smith in this lineup.That batsmanship yesterday was nothing but pathetic. Same old problems when faced with something different our batsman are clearly not good enough to adapt.
Agreed mate. Smith isn't exactly the greatest vs spin. He had no chance re: unorthodox with what sounds like poor analytic preparation for Ghazanfar.Can't say I expected much from Smith or Reeza.

Only saving grace is that the ODI squads were picked before his 188. At least he should be in the picture moving forward. But my concern is thinking all of Bavuma, Hendricks, Rassie and de Zorzi can be in our ODI squads.Still miffed about the Bedingham non selection in the 50 over stuff ..That was an easy decision and Walter failed to make it happen.
Agreed. We are really going to miss QDK. I feel like they want de Zorzi at the top but then who is the keeper? They dearly want it to be Rickelton but out of him and Verreynne I'd go with Verreynne. I think he has a deceptively quick way of scoring and you need that in ODIs without going for sixes.Only saving grace is that the ODI squads were picked before his 188.

Plus before the Champs Trophy, we only have a triangular in Pakistan after these ODI's.
Afghanistan is a talented side , the most disappointing aspect is the team haven't even competed in the series.With the way our batsman are playing spin I think it might be a good thing for us to skip Bangladesh...yikes.
I just doesn't see Verreynne taking down an attack and accelerating from the middle order. I think we have to lean towards Rickelton in white ball and Verreynne in tests for now.Agreed.

I feel like we were both typing our posts at the same time because this is definitely a general feeling from the SA CWers!I honestly think we just need to back our most adaptable young batsmen against pace and spin in all conditions. That to me is Stubbs, Breetzke and Brevis. They need to be playing with your Bavuma's, Rassie's, Markram's, Klaasen's, Miller's. DeZorzi has started his career well as well so he stays in the mix.
Then we cannot go into the Champs Trophy with Bavuma, De Zorzi, Rassie at the top. There needs to be a like for like in style to QdK at the top whether that is Bedingham or Rickelton.
Has the Bangladeshi tour been cancelled? I tried searching on Google but didn't find anythingWith the way our batsman are playing spin I think it might be a good thing for us to skip Bangladesh...yikes.
It was meant to be announced this week. Not sure if that's a good sign. Almost like they trying to give it as long as possible to not cancel it. Hopefully I'm wrong.Has the Bangladeshi tour been cancelled? I tried searching on Google but didn't find anything
No wonder CSA made 850 million rand profit. They don't spend it on anything meaningful lolDidn't actually know this. Prasanna says none of the domestic sides have a match analyst. That explains loads of the issues and is rather shocking.

Verrenynne is like a jonty Rhodes type batsmen in one day cricket well atleast provincially.I just doesn't see Verreynne taking down an attack and accelerating from the middle order. I think we have to lean towards Rickelton in white ball and Verreynne in tests for now.
Rickleton is most like for like imho.I honestly think we just need to back our most adaptable young batsmen against pace and spin in all conditions. That to me is Stubbs, Breetzke and Brevis.
