    Shamsi too.

    Rabada's technique, coupled with his average and actual batting ability, is like when you put a Lada engine into a Rolls Royce.

    Yeah for sure, just don't see him getting ahead of any of the current guys soon.

    Think the last one except for Nortje, he is injured.

    Ja, I don't think Subrayen will get a look in, don't see him leapfrogging any of the current spinners in the squad. Also, he turns 30 this year, think somebody like Kyle Simmonds will be more likely to get a look in.

    Ja, I'm not RvdD's biggest fan, but he should be one of the first names on your team sheet for an ODI. An average of nearly 70, at an SR of 90 in nearly 40 innings is a big enough sample to show the guy can play. But it's weird, bowl to him with a red ball and he looks like an octopus on roller...

    The last time SA played two spinners at the Wanderers was in 1965. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-south-africa-1964-65-61682/south-africa-vs-england-4th-test-62960/full-scorecard

    I didn't say he couldn't bat, I said bowling is his stronger discipline, in my opinion, and I don't think he can be called a batting all-rounder. On the strength of what discipline was he picked for this Test match?

    Think targets might also have come into De Zorzi playing ahead of Rickelton. Not that De Zorzi doesn't deserve a cap given his form this season Rickelton's FC average is Bradmanesque and just on form you would have thought they would go for RR.

    He's only averaged 15 this season and I would say his bowling is his stronger discipline, so not sure we can call him a batting all-rounder.

    Rickelton not picked again. We're lucky the Kolpak option is no longer open to him.

    Yup, not sure what the issue with Linde is. But I know he basically said he doesn't want to tour if he's not going to play so maybe he's not seen as a team man.

    Correct

    If he sees Muthusamy as part of the batting group then he needs to be sectioned.

    Conrad apparently wants to go 7/4 with an all-pace attack. So, maybe something like: Elgar Sauce Petersen TB Rickelton De Zorzi Klaasen Jansen Coetzee Rabada Nortje

    Who is the gun wrist spinner that can hold a bat?

    Greatest SA born player to play for another country?

    Neal Radford too, born in Northern Rhodesia, grew up in SA, and played a few games for England.

    I dont like Bazball

    Bring back meandering draws I say!

    One Test or Series Wonders

    The thread is about players that had a good series or Test and never reproduced that form or were left out for some inexplicable reason. Richards never played again because of politics, not because he was ever picked again.

    Apropos of nothing I was at his granddaughter's wedding this weekend.
