South Africa team selection

[StephenZA]

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.

Agreed. And that why I like that he is constantly playing. In a year or 18 months time if he is not delivering, get rid of him. If they really don't like him then get rid of him now and move on. But don't use the first 10 test matches he played as indication of his abilities. Not without considering the bigger picture and circumstances.

 

[Stefan9]

Why isnt klassan playing?

Given leave to play cpl along with Miller. Then pulled out of the cpl for personal reasons.

 

[FBU]

Well done SA, especially Rickleton, Stubbs and Williams

 

[Heboric]

Much better bowling performance

 

[SeamUp]

Shamsi has pulled out of his CSA contract. To explore T20 possibilities but still committed to the Proteas and Titans.

Strangely not behind a paywall

 

[SeamUp]

If TdZ is out of the test series v Bangladesh.

Markram
Rickelton
Stubbs
Bavuma
Bedingham
Breetzke
Verreynne
Maharaj
Rabada
Piedt
Burger

Use Markram & Stubbs as the 5th/6th bowler with quicker off-spin than Piedt to change things up with 5/6 in the top order lefties.

 

[Bahseph]

Burger out of the Bangladesh tour with a stress fracture.

 

[Stefan9]

Limited options with Jansen, Coetzee and Nortje already out.

Nortje doesnt play red ball as far as i know

 

[Northerner]

If de Zorzi is ruled out of the Test Series, would Brand be a good call, a genuine opener with useful spin bowling, get Jansen back in to replace Burger, should not have been rested in the first place,

 

[Bahseph]

Surely we don't play Paterson in Bangladesh?

 

[Bahseph]

Then again,if you pick someone else now they can't directly jump him. Better off playing Muthusamy and Mulder then.

Or Mulder at 8.

I would open with Rickleton, he's opened the batting in FC cricket before, and he's in good form ..I'd call Brevis into the squad if De Zorzi is ruled out

They will probably recall Ngidi for Burger .

 

[Stefan9]

Nortje doesnt play red ball as far as i know

Well he hasn't retired from it. Just made himself unavailable.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

See what did I tell you about Verreynne?
Gun player should never have been dropped from the odi side

 

[Stefan9]

Temba's injury looks worrying with Bangladesh shortly.

Why happened to keegan peterson the guy who played match winning innings against india in 21/22

Keegan Petersen didn't score enough runs , he had an opportunity to set things right in NZ but failed, too many starts and he's at an age where starts aren't gonna cut it .
