The thing is Bedingham has probably the best shot making of any batter in the team but he clearly isn't prepared to knuckle down. Even when he got his 100 in NZ he was swinging from the hip. I don't know if I'd drop him but he clearly needs a good talking too. Bavuma and Conrad need to step up.

Yup, it's the capital for attritional cricket in SA. It's why Kepler Wessels did so well for so many years there

Especially if Rickelton can kick on from this innings. Someone will need to make way for Mulder when he returns, and Bedingham's place is looking less secure right now.

And Bedingham is no Graeme Pollock either to play like a maverick in the Eastern Province.Yup, it's the capital for attritional cricket in SA. It's why Kepler Wessels did so well for so many years there

I mean he did opt out of the SA20 draft to go to NZ to establish himself. I think he cares, but he is confident bordering on arrogant about his ability to take on bowlers. It's like he doesn't rate the Sri Lankan attack.
SeamUp
International Coach
Could be.
Conrad was very big on Stubbs at 3 but maybe they feel best utilising what we've got is getting Ryan batting where he is used to batting.
I guess the only downside is Bavuma goes to 5 and has been enjoying batting higher in the order.
Kenneth Viljoen
International Regular
Happy for Rickelton , his first test hundred for South Africa he's had to work hard for that and it's paid off , an important hundred too he's held this innings together.
Dendarii
International Debutant
He did bat at 5 in the second innings of the last match. 6 is too far down in the order for him, but 5 is maybe OK, especially with the confidence that he must have from his form over the past few years.
I think that is ok with us batting Jansen at 8. So Temba shouldn't get totally stuck with no one left like it was under previous coaching regimes.
