1) Hashim Amla
2) Alviro P.
3) AB de Villiers
4) Faf du Plessis
5) JP Duminy
6) Farhaan Behardien / Rory Kleinveldt
7) David Miller

10) Morne Morkel
11) Lonwabo Tsotsobe

That would be my preferred team.

I like the team but AB should bat at 4. I also don't see faf doing well at 3, which means Behardien or Miller might miss out for Ingrim.

My gut is saying we should stick with behardien and leave Miller out of the final 11.

Also, with kallis out the side, extra importance is placed on JP to bowl a few overs with (most likely) behardien.

The alternative is too slot McLaren in the team as an all rounder batting at 7 but I'm not comfortable with that.

I am not a miller fan, and perhaps moving Behardien to 3 and then playing kleinvledt.... Well it can work.

No warm up game, afaik.

South Africa tour of Netherlands and England, Only ODI: South Africa v Netherlands at Amstelveen, May 31, 2013

Noted. However, would there be another reason for play a one-off ODI against the Netherlands just before the Champions Trophy?

 

[NeonNinja]

I guess so. But are official warp up games at same time.

de Villiers to score a 150. No worries.

 

[Creag]

Great knocks for JP, Ingram and Faf! Well done, fellas!
