South Africa team selection

[Dendarii]

Lesego gone to 50 v England Lions

Remember @Dendarii asking why someone like him went to Emerging tour at his age.

He actually does look the biz when he scores runs & I just wonder if he is proof of pushing players before they were ready when younger to meet certain requirements is never smart. Right now he is giving himself a chance of a Proteas cap even if a little while away.

That's a very valid point, and I wonder how many other players there have been who would have benefited from being held back rather than pushed too early to the detriment of their career. I completely understand the need for transformation, but cricket just hasn't got it right.

Lions appear to have named 12 to play so it's not first class. And no Hull, wasn't he supposed to be there? Still injured? Coach's son gets a game, though.

Still in school & got a HP contract with the Lions.

Going to his 4th KMCW which starts Monday.

 

[SeamUp]

Can Linde get into our 50-over side as well with Maharaj around?

 

[Dendarii]

It might depend on conditions. If we go with two spinners then it seems ridiculous for Linde not to be the second one. But if it's just one spinner then Maharaj has got enough credit for him to be the first choice.

 

[Bahseph]

I'd look at it slightly differently though...Linde needs to be in the conversation for our LO number 7. He needs to be competing for that role and not just as a spinner.

 

[SeamUp]

Is batting 6 too high? Thing is we have to fit in a wrist-spinner, Rabada, Nortje, Jansen & Maharaj?

Walter seemed to be talking that without Mulder they needed to look at AR options with Champs Trophy in mind and hence Linde.

Even was going on selecting Jason Smith was because he could bowl overs but that is a bit of a stretch.
