I just find this a little disingenuous in comparison. Andile has played 80 ODIs, Mulder has played 18. Yes Mulder has played more Tests but he has hardly been given consecutive run in matches until recently. I have been talking about that since forever.

Yeah, I agree. It seemed a formality for me until the Bedingham possibility came up.
They got Verreynne in the squad obviously thinking TdZ , Bavuma & Reeza were top order with no Klaasen.

This is where we talk about the experience, both set batsmen getting out and exposing the tail. It is amazing how often this happens with the less experienced players.

Stubbs and brevis are highly rated. Breetzke is younger and looks decent. Rickleton is a bit older, but has phenomenal domestic numbers and looks like he's started to figure out international cricket. Dian Forrester is the most exciting cricketer in SA ATM IMO. Makes middle order runs across formats at a fast clip and also bowls PACE.

Fair. I guess I feel I've seen enough & thought I saw enough of Phehlukwayo a long long long time ago.
The green light I suppose is Mulder's 50s in the Windies and v Afghanistan. I still don't think either give us a banker and if not that then at least be a mercurial match winner on your day.

That's massive. Big pity he wasn't signed in SA20. I guess he has a platform now in Division One.

Boet in the chances he has been given he's not been good enough for a batting all rounder , it took him 7 years to score his first international 50 , maybe he's just another Albie Morkel at international level

South Africa could do with an Albie Morkel now. He won games for South Africa. A Ryan McLaren would do as well.

The fact that people want to compare him to an Albie Morkel says everything about how he has been treated as a player... And please don't call me boet in that supercilious fashion.

Albie Morkel played one test. His 1 score in that test match is higher than any score Mulder has managed in international cricket. Maybe first let him get past 58 before saying he deserves a run of games.

Fair enough. But then don't pick Mulder at 19, keep him in the squad but never play him except in ad hock matches, mostly when the team is struggling. Let him fill his boots at FC level until he develops properly.

He's played plenty of domestic cricket and county cricket , he has no more excuses , it's time to deliver or step out just like everyone has to do.
