South Africa team selection

[WpGuy]

Would go as strong as possible for the tests with a maybe a squad spot or 2 for an exiting newbie.

Can fit both in squad yeah

It feels strange the whole career path of Gideon Peters. Wonder if he moves provinces? Just hasn't played since the SA20.

They won't be selected now but I've seen enough to say Luus and Boast should be Proteas in time too.

Luus and peters could easily get into wp or Boland attack.

That was my thinking. 6 test matches after the WTC final until our summer of 26/27. ****, test match cricket is dying hey. I'm so sick of T20 cricket. Can watch a little but it's got too much. Never remember the games like they were special either. It's just money cricket.

When a team as vital as SA to the future & competitiveness of test cricket is only playing 2-match test series against 1 of the big 3 it shows the current state of the format.

We literally may see some test retirements in the next little while. Bavuma? Markram (sounds mad but you never know), Nortje (officially) & obviously Pato.

I don't even watch ipl anymore I stopped after season 2 or 3 I think what season we on now ? The fact that players and teams change so much makes it even more pointless atleast in sa 20 60-70% players stay the same in sides there isn't a team I can support in ipl because it changes players so often.

You are right, he will not get a look in, but he impressed me a lot in the T20 tournament,

We are not going to be resting guys like kg,ect when we play so little tests. The best team wil play.

But its the ideal time to have a look at a few others, yes you play less tests than others but KG still has an heavy work load from the other disciplines.
