Did I spot Imran Tahirs name in T20 squad? He can't bat, he can't field, he is a mediocre spinner...

And of course, no Vernon Philander because he is specialist Test bowler.

Tosser selectors.

I'm happy David Wiese is getting a look in. I love watching him when he is in big hitting form

I remember sometime ago they mentioned that they don't want to mess around with Vern's test lengths. :confused:

The way the ODI and T20 teams are playing, I would also rather not be involved in the negative energy.:twisted:

Have to agree with you here :twisted: :D
 
South Africa: AB de Villiers (captain), Hashim Amla, Alviro Petersen, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Rory Kleinveldt, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Robin Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Lonwabo Tsotsobe

Tsotsobe and Morkel in doubt, if they can not play my team will be:

Petersen
Amla
Ingram
AB
Duminey
Faf
McLaren
Kleinveldt
Robbies
Morris
Aaron

This leaves us with some good bowling options and McLaren / robbies /kleinveldt not being Chris Martins with the bat, I think we have enough batting to edge it. If Tsostobe / Morkel can play, Aaron will be my first choice to drop.

More than likely though the team will have one less "full time" bowler in and will include Miller at 6 or 7. They will then get the 5th bowler from Duminey/Alviro/Faf.
 
In the match ODI SA vs SL starting soon.
The pundits were all in agreement that it is an advantage to bat first in this 1st ODI SA vs SL ... so SA wins the toss and they choose to bowl first!
The pitch is likely to break-up later.
Does anyone in the SA team & management have a brain cell?
 
Anyone watching the game?

With Sanga and Jayawardene , there I think this might be a big score, especially the way they are going atm
