    Our SAA bowling performances weren't great recently. Subrayen conceded over 7 RPO in their chase over 200 in the last innings. Much like @Bahseph I thought he was a better white-ball spinner but he doesn't seem to pick up wickets in the format but tends to do okay in red-ball on a helpful...

    South Africa Domestic Season 2024/25

    Serious ball-striking. Perhaps only Beyers Swanepoel , Eathan Bosch & Evan Jones can match limited overs domestic cricket at the moment. https://x.com/SuperSportTV/status/1849439449639497789?t=D_XG8EWhvmON6y8eImEKew&s=19

    South Africa Domestic Season 2024/25

    Lots of talk of Robbie P, Imran Khan and obviously Russell Domingo we know at the Lions. But Salieg Nackerdien at WP won the 50-over title last season (first trophy in a few years for the Province), got us to the 4-day final and they really should have won that against the Lions. Now he has a...

    I guess we can get away with it Vs Bangladesh in the sub. If it was Ngidi over Piedt the greater concern would be fitness than reliability in bowling overs and we would get that with Piedt. Will Paterson and anything but peak Ngidi be a threat at Chittagong either? So I guess with concerns with...

    Bavuma not fit enough for the 2nd test.

    Couldn't have said it better. Find it bizarre we have no tests next summer. When last did New Zealand play tests in SA? You probably would have to look at them and West Indies with Pakistan/Sri Lanka here 24/25 & Australia/England/Bangladesh 26/27

    *Official* South Africa in Bangladesh: Two Test Series, 21-25 Oct, 29 Oct-2 Nov 2024

    Supposedly flat and not as much spin in Chattogram? I imagine Bavuma in for Breetzke Paterson or Ngidi for Piedt? Pity we don't have a stronger seam option to give us the choice.

    South Africa Domestic Season 2024/25

    He fell out with CSA after what he felt being messed around. In squads and not playing and then randomly being left out. All this came when Maharaj, Piedt & Muthusamy got smashed by India and he came in and got a 5-for and was in and around white-ball squads too. Him and Simmonds got WP over...

    And there you go. He tends to get these starts domestically too. Just about getting through that with him if he wants to make it at this level. Mental work and him going back to WP and doing it over and over. As not a definite in our white-ball squads.

    Tony much like Kyle V might have a 28 average but they've shown enough to be backed. Looked untroubled until he went out in the first innings & the same here so far. That in itself could be a problem for him but it also shows he does feel at home at this level & there isn't extra pressure on...

    Gideon Peters is so exciting. Hopefully gets exposure this season as he can go to higher honours. Action has straight lines. Remember him swinging the ball last season when I saw him and he has gas. Skiddy type. Bumpers tough to get out the way.

    I know what you mean x 2 I have the same concerns. It doesn't necessarily mean we thinking defensively. It just means your bowler is more flexible. Was listening to a Moeen Ali interview. He said he knew he couldn't tie up an end but he also knew his best ball could be too good for any...

    Ideally we want a different type of spinner to Maharaj? So that would immediately turn me off Muthusamy, Fortuin, Linde, Simmonds who can be 3rd spinners on tour. Only offies are Harmer, Piedt & Subrayen so I guess it would be Subrayen seeing that he was in the recent A squad. Got wickets v...

    Cricket is a funny game. It might not feel fair to some but I think a knowledgeable cricket person does know which are the right ones to back. Slow starts for Kallis and Amla. Two of our very best. AB got that 100 v PE in his debut series but life was tough for a while after that. All 3 got...

    There are definitely shoots of positivity. I would say we picking the right batsman to get a crack at test level after they went with numbers for Hamza, Petersen, Van Tonder etc Hope the rehabilitation programmes for Jansen and Coetzee work a treat. Only disappointment for test level is I...
