That is what it has taken for Lutho to debut. He isn't ready but he does have talent.

Lutho v Mig like Dendarii says is the debate. Looking at their 4 -day wickets Lutho has got his batsman out instead of cheap dismissals compared to Mig so maybe it isn't the worst selection from that view but just they called Mig up first.

Also Nandre Burger & Thando Ntini are with the SA team as net bowlers.

Phehlukwayo would have bowled better than this.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Sipalma hasn't bowled too badly so far, but looks a bit 'floaty' when he over-pitches. I like his fundamentals as a bowler (strong action, high arm release and bowls close to the stumps)

 

[StephenZA]

Not sure why it wasn't Ngidi and Nortje to set the tone.

Definitely should have been.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good start to this ODI by SL.

Don't see a score like this after 7 overs very often.

 

[StephenZA]

Sipamla does bowl like this. He has these terrible spells (nervous or not) and then comes back and bowls beauty of a spell. Young, talented and inconsistent. Should not be debuting.

 

[TT Boy]

WTF?

 

[Pup Clarke]

Kusal Perera opening the batting in test cricket is such a meme

 

[TT Boy]

Philander looks in decent shape.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Ngidi hitting immaculate lengths

 

[StephenZA]

Philander looks in decent shape.

Better shape than when he was playing!?

 

[Gnske]

Philander looks in decent shape.

Can't tell if this is a sarcastic comment or whether Philander actually waited until after his career to get in shape.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Better shape than when he was playing!?

100%

 

[StephenZA]

100%

Maybe he is looking at it and thinking of making a come back with ABdV.

 

[StephenZA]

Dupavillon covid

This man can not catch a break!

 

[Pup Clarke]

Maybe he is looking at it and thinking of making a come back with ABdV.

Haha. He does look trim does Vern. Muscle rather than fat

 

[StephenZA]

Nice from Nortje... not great batting though.

 

[Bahseph]

Has anyone thought of how good Mendis could be if he used better judgement? Frustrating player.

I wonder where Marco Jansen stands in the reckoning. He's the second-highest wicket taker so far this season, in one fewer match than other bowlers, and he's a left-armer. But he's only played 12 first-class matches, so maybe they feel that's not enough yet.

To young and also tends to go for runs. Not dissimilar to Sipamla great potential but lots of work to do still.

Migael was the correct replacement. But he was probably there as a replacement for the allrounder position with Mulder/Dwaine/Migael.
