South Africa team selection

Just realised they left out Bjorn for George.

Bjorn never really let anyone down but as the package Linde is just more lethal.

Selection definitely feels like it is getting better, becoming more consistent better in terms picking the right players more often than not, both experience and young talent wise. Hopefully it continues and the younger talent steps up to the mark.

Is there any young fast bowlers coming through... I`m talking consistent genuine speed 145+ not medium/fast pacers?
Kwena Maphaka and Tristan Luus can bowl balls over 145 semi-regularly so at this stage I would say those are the 2.

No idea on Gideon Peters speeds but I guess until he plays regularly he won't be getting a look in.

Looking forward to watching Coke Week in a couple of weeks to see what is what there.

Schalk Engelbrecht had been with the test team in Durban now. Shukri had him in the winter camps as well.

Assuming he is the long-term right-arm offie they like.
