South Africa team selection

[Stefan9]

Nortje reinjured his back. So guess Coetzee will replace him in the CT.

Him, Mulder and Jansen would have made a fantastic 'tache trio.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Nortje has never played in an ODI tournament in his career incredible bad luck

That is actually crazy.

Gerald Coetzee rushed back by JSK? Just picked up a hamstring niggle. Not sure if that puts Champs Trophy in jeopardy or not.

If it does, it becomes Corbin Bosch or Otneill Baartman but the former probably more like for like.

I guess it's a case of Bosch's batting against Baartman's bowling and what they feel is better for the team. My preference would be for Baartman as I'm still not entirely convinced about Bosch as an international player.

It's hard to argue with that. I am am a little concerned with our ability to strike though.

Ngidi and Shamsi not exactly nailed down starters for their SA20 teams as seen so it makes this selection important.

I guess Linde or Maphaka might come into the equation as well.

 

[Dendarii]

I guess Linde or Maphaka might come into the equation as well.

I don't see either of those happening unless there are even more injuries. It's too early for Maphaka, and to bring Linde in for a fast bowler would essentially be an admission that the original selection was wrong, something I doubt they'd be prepared to do.

Basically per Walter while Kesh is fit there is no room for George....

Walter: Why Linde missed out on Champions Trophy

They are two different types of left arm spinners though, Linde is skiddy and gets good bounce , Kesh relies more on flight and drift ..Plus Linde can bat in the top 7 , India who are fairly good at cricket won the T20 WC with two left arm spinners in the starting XI in Jadeja and Axar. And they were picked again in the ODI squad . Yet Rob comes with this rather lame reason at not having a look at Linde for the CT when it's in Pakistan lol.

Rickelton looks at the peak of his powers. Might just have the inside lane to start the one-dayers coming up.

I can’t see how they could play de Zorzi over him.

 

[SeamUp]

That's for sure. Could do with more SA A series. Just to see where guys stand. TdZ was behind Bedingham, Breetzke and Brevis in performance vs Sri Lanka A.

But back to the above point, there was talk from Walter that they are thinking about moving Markram back to the top just to get that balance right between Bavuma and Rassie. Stubbs was then the guy to come into the middle order.

Didnt know this was happening, but here you go:

Why has De Zorzi not been selected?

Why has De Zorzi not been selected?

With Sunrisers Eastern Cape.

 

[SeamUp]

Coetzee has now been withdrawn.

They need to stop rushing him back.

I guess that means Migael Pretorius will go.
