Whatever it takes!!!
Agreed, the third test also highlighted the need to look beyond Yadav and Sharma as our backup seamers. Mavi, Avesh or Prasidh need to be in the mix since Yadav and Ishant are old and can't get it up anymore bowl with the same zip anymore.

Bumrah and Shami should also be rested from time to time, they looked worn out on the last day but they tried their heart out.
Shami is really only good in the SC and maybe in RSA. I would rather play Siraj ahead of Shami if Siraj is fit. Prasidh with his height should have been tried in tests at some point. Ideally one swing bowler in Chahar/Shardul/Bhuvi for tests in SENA, except maybe Aus, one tall bowler in Ishant/Prasidh, one skiddly guy in Siraj/Shami/Umesh and Bumrah should be our ideal combination.

Yeah but without him you wont have your awesome 6th bowler.
You would love JJ Smuts! Seriously though, I really don't care about that... particularly when I`m more concerned about the Test team than the LO team.

Side note, SA has a few all rounders coming through the lower levels at the moment that should help the limited overs format.

SA always has good all-rounders. Don't know what's the secret.

I wonder whether Markram would be better off coming in at 5 in ODIs. It doesn't make sense to delay Van der Dussen's arrival at the crease when he's South Africa's best limited overs bat right now, and Markram coming in with fewer overs left means that he can treat it a bit more like a T20, the one format where he's doing well at moment.

Still don't think that is going to help his mental issues and/or his test issues. At this stage we trying to accommodate a very talented player in various positions, but at other players expense, is that fair or right? Particularly when it feels like lots of his issues are in his head? I don't know.

Fair enough for Jayant Yadav to get a game now, but the question remains as to whether he should've even been in the squad at all.

Has he been doing well in LOs or something? Don't get it.

With Sundar Axar not fit.. Selectors have gone for him. R Sai Kishore is way better & did well with both bat & ball in VHT & TNPL. But sadly Missed out.

Impressed with Prasidh today.. First 4 overs were quality had batsman hopping & fending from his bounce. Thought Kela was poor & should have given him extra over during that spell.

Now we need one wicket taking spinner to make this attack look good. Bishnoi should play next series

Top 100 from a top player.

Before this 100 QdK already averaged 65 against India with 5 hundreds and 3 fifties. Crazy record.
