The Proteas - Our Team!

Any reason why Duanne Olivier would not be considered? Or has he cooked his goose good and proper?
Not sure why he wasn't selected for the A. Victor did phone him and ask him if he is available for the proteas, so seems he is in the plans for the India series.
 
Erwee 75 (180)

Done in by a ball that moved just a tad off the pitch. Bowler came around the wicket to him.

SA A 187/4
 
Zondo smokes a six over cow-corner and tries the shot again. Caught by fine leg taking a good catch looking into the sun. Gone for 56.

Irresponsible. He was in command.

He has been in good form in first class cricket this season but a great batsmen hit the next ball for a single to get of strike and not have a rush of blood to the head.
 
SA A 158/3 (57.0) at Tea.

Senseless run out of de Zorzi 58. He was going so well.

Erwee 67*
Zondo 1*

I see that Beuran Hendricks and Glenton Stuurman was left out the side. Hendricks I understand. But Stuurman?

That a bad call to leave out Stuurman. Migael Pretorius for Beuran Hendricks is a good call. Will Prenelan Subrayen have a greater impact then Senuran Muthusamy, I don't know.

It's the 3rd game on the same venue(don't know if it's the same pitch as the 1st game) maybe the ball will turn?


Stuurman had a couple of injuries last season maybe the plan was to only give him 2 games or soft management said give all player a game.

Squad was picked before the season started and Olivier just returned. He will be in the test squad as Nigdi might not be match fit.

He will have to perform in the 1st test to keep is place. The one quality Olivier has is he can bowl long spells, this will work out well for Rabada and Nortje. We always bowl Rabada into the ground because he can fit into any role we ask him. Having Oliver bowl 8 to 10 over spell is great because it means Rabada and Nortje can have quick burst of 5 overs.

The first game pitch was a road. This pitch appears to be lot fairer.

Difficult to say, but this pitch looks like there will be a result. India A quicks are bowling well today. Getting slight movement with the second new ball.

Olivier's return does increase the options. Nothing wrong with increase in competition.
 
Stumps: SA A 249/7

Here's hoping for a MASSIVE wag by the tail.
 
SA A 268/10 (94.5)

Marco Jansen 12*

The tail folded meekly. I suppose it isn't their job to pile on the runs.

Best contributions:

Erwee 75
de Zorzi 58
Zondo 56

Chahar 4/45
Saini 3/51
 
does anybody here know how you can get a protea to sign a shirt? it’s my boyfriend’s 21st birthday & he loves quinton de kock, i tried direct messaging his wife as he listed her as his agent but she hasn’t responded or saw it yet!

my boyfriend loves cricket & fell to injury in grade 10 & had to stop playing, however, he is perfectly healthy again & is still refraining from playing, i thought a message or something from quinton would have given him a bit of a push & is a great birthday gift. his birthday is approaching fast (25th december) so i’m quite desperate

Perhaps contact Cricket South Africa? You never know what may come of it.
