That's rough.

 

[Baxteen]

seeing as this series is for testing team make up, what about the "look at the all rounders we have!" team?
this is not the best team, or the one that will win the most, just the one with the most possible all rounders in it

Amla
QdK
AB
Parnell
Morris
Duminy
Pretorius
Phehlukwayo
Rabada
Tahir
Ngidi


as a side note, I would still play ANdiele, he had one bad game, after coming back from injury. and that game was a T20, he is better in ODI anyway.

 

[WaxLyrical]

How do you drop the highest wicket taker in the most recent ODI series though?

He's expensive and unpredictable?
Didn't fare too well in the Pro20s did he?

I guess I lost him as fan with that reverse sweep after seeing it doesn't work.

So how's Cape Town today?

Sunny and warm! Game shouldn't be interrupted.

Sunny and warm! Game shouldn't be interrupted.

Interrupted by sun, perhaps?

Third T20 between South Africa and Sri Lanka called off due to excessive sunshine <- Would be an interesting headline

I will be watching, just to see how AB goes.

I will be watching, just to see how AB goes.

Indeed! Will be good to see him back on the park. Just curious as to where he will slot in and who's going to make way. He could potentially open, but which opener do you drop? Kuhn is in some decent nick, but Smuts offers you a bowling option (as long as it's not the 20th over ). He could replace Mosehle at number 4 and take the gloves or slot in at 3 in place of de Bruyn (which is probably what I would do if I was selecting the side). We will see though...

 

[NeonNinja]

Gut feeling AB is coming in at 4.

 

[AirWolf]

Is it just AB, or some of the other regulars as well?

 

[Baxteen]

Is it just AB, or some of the other regulars as well?

just AB AFAIK

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

All this hype over AB and I have a suspicion he's going to get 20 off 15 balls or something like that...

 

[WaxLyrical]

AB sticking out like a sore thumb in that squad.

I suspect Theunis will make way for AB.

 

[Neoprod]

All this hype over AB and I have a suspicion he's going to get 20 off 15 balls or something like that...

I think he's going to be a bit nervous after all the gossip. He's going to be slower than usual and hopefully, goes mental at the end if he's still in.

Theunis de Bruyn might open the batting. AB in for Jon-Jon Smuts.

AB just got a 100 just now.

 

[Ho3n3r]

AB just got a 100 just now.

Have to reiterate again the bowling attack it was against...

None of them even have impressive provincial records, never mind franchise level.

Not saying it's good, but even Behardien could score 100 against those muppets. Let's not read too much into it - he did pretty much what was expected.
