Good news. So likely a Durban and Highveld test. Last one was also in our winter of 2016

Might want to avoid Durban. Their outfield couldn't drain for 4 days at that test vs NZ.
Centurion and wanderers probably safer options.

True, although I keep hearing from Durbanites it's summer 12 months of the year over there

Bedingham's experience in County cricket give him an edge in selection for the WTC final

Nice. Is this from a verified news source?
Presume he said it at the press conference after the game. Cricinfo quotes him on it.

It's commendable that SA have won 8 Tests in the last cycle while going through so many bowling combinations. The NZ series was a given but the injuries and Conrad making some bold calls really showed that there is depth at the moment. (Bosch, Paterson been shown faith, Mulder as a second seamer twice and even Muthusamy over Piedt).
Nortje and Williams didn't play in this cycle but them along with Sipamla are obviously Test quality quicks as well. KG is an elite athlete though, been the constant while the attack changed around him.

Whatever it takes!!!
*cries in* India are free.
Tbf to them,that time it didn't rain during the test. They just couldn't dry the outfield.needed to import some of those industrial Pakistani drying fans.True, although I keep hearing from Durbanites it's summer 12 months of the year over there

Watching Delano Potgieter yesterday got me thinking about the similarities between him, Beyers Swanepoel and Dayyaan Galiem. From what I've seen of Delano he seems to have the higher upside with the bat? Beyers the best long format bowler? How do you guys rate them across formats and disciplines?

If I was Conrad I would never speak to this guy again , the doos is revealing tactical plans so openly on social media.

Potgieter is the best batter , Swanepoel is the best bowler ..Galiem a better bat than Swanepoel and a bit quicker than Potgieter.

Tbf just doing his job. Doubt Aussies will be looking at what he is writing. This is run of the mill stuff in England and Australia I'm sure. It creates the interest and debate. Some might not be happy with too much info and some might want it.

Yeah you're right. It is a bit concerning that we don't know what our best team is heading into a final ..That's why we need a test or two before the Aussies

I don't think he's revealed all that much. We already know that there are seven options for the top six and that Rabada, Jansen, Maharaj, and Mulder are petty much locked in, while the remaining bowling spot depends on who's available and what the conditions are like.
The final's six months away though, and while I would imagine Conrad's got a pretty good idea of who he wants to pick, things could change in that time. And he's certainly not going to make too many definitive statements to the media.
