South Africa team selection

[Kenneth Viljoen]

So this stat on FB , England's Gus Atkinson has the same number of test hundreds as any SA batter not named Markram in the last 3 years

Those are some terrible stats. I am backing Bedingham to add a few more soon!

Conversion rates is my biggest worry with these lot ..

Elgar & Bavuma scored the most runs in this period but only 2 hundreds in 60 innings combined

Nice to see Sipamla back!

Nice to see Sipamla back!

Hopefully worked on his strength & conditioning during his injury lay off. Adds a bit of skill with an extra yard & he can push for higher honours with that smooth repeatable action.

Sri Lanka A 298/9
Sipamla 10 1/51
Luus 10 3/72
Bosch 9 2/60
Muthusamy 6 0/41
Phehlukwayo 10 3/38
Mogakane 4 0/21
Brevis 1 0/10

Is the wicketkeeper a relation of the great Ashwell.

We lost by 93 runs , terrible performance by the A side ..Getting bowled out for 200 in Potch is criminal that's the flattest deck in SA

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

And the scary thing is , I thought that wasnt a terrible A side put on the park bar Andile Mokagane,
I mean what's going on there? How is a guy with an average of 17 and a SR of 60 batting at No.6 for SA A , he only has 6 wickets in 28 List A games to boot ..
What rubbish is that man.

Yup

Only De Zorzi, Breetzke, Brevis & E Bosch contributing with scores ranging from 28 to 53

They've gone with Mogakane, Simelane, Mpongwana as the BA batsmen capable of breaking into the 2027 WC squad I reckon. More punts in selection right now.

 

[SeamUp]

Champions Trophy next year
Stubbs pushes one out right? Reeza Hendricks for me and either Rassie or Markram opens.

Bavuma
Rassie
Markram
Stubbs
Klaasen
Miller

Right now I can only see Rickelton, De Zorzi, Breetzke, Bedingham, Brevis, Verreynne, J Hermann, Mulder & Kruger breaking in any time soon to that top 6.

 

[SeamUp]

Second One-Dayer

Nqaba Peter now fit and added to the squad.

Bedingham
Prince
Breetzke
Muthusamy
Mpongwana
Mogakane
Phehlukwayo
Simelane
Galiem
Yusuf
Peter

No de Zorzi, Brevis, Bosch, Luus, Sipamla

Its always strange watching the medium/fast bowlers in the SA A squads. I mean practically most of them are likely to get a look in at the top level. Good FC bowlers, but no chance at top accolades, unless you end up with 6/7 injuries. Always feels a bit sad. Simelane and Peter, I`m interested to see how they develop.

Only way that type get in is if super skillful (Philander, S Pollock, Matthews) or in the All-Rounder category to balance the quicks.

That's why they fast-tracking Maphaka and Luus too I guess.

 

[Bahseph]

I'm excited to see what Simelane can produce. He seems like more of a batter from what I've seen of him but can bowl too.

 

[SeamUp]

Great start by Prince.

I would honestly think about releasing Eddie Moore and Yaseen Vallie at the end of this season and bringing him back home to Cape Town.

 

[StephenZA]

Prince is looking good. I like how still he is at the crease with the bowler running in.

I will say, even with Bedingham, is the footwork doesn't look great. Inconsistent footwork.

Verreynne similar in a way. But most batsman these days are relying too much on hand and eye. Their transfer of weight into the ball needs to be perfect.
