Yeah I'm only kidding around. I don't really hate them. Much.

Vettori would walk into most teams tbh, and as i said Patel too has a chance of wakling into the Australian side, just shows where Australia stand with their spin stocks atm, any half-decent spinner from around the world has an outside chance to break into the Australian side, as evident from the fact that guys like Dan Cullen, Nathan Hauritz, Beau Casson, Jason Krejza, Cam White (the bowler) all already have the baggy green.

Well we have played both White and Hauritz, so maybe we would

Yeah I'd completely agree with you w.r.t. tests, assuming universal fitness.

Well that was a bleeding obvious selectorial decision wasn't it.
You simply cannot drop a batsman in the kind of form Duminy is in. Unless he's a Victorian, in which case he never should have been picked in the first place.

Boucher won’t be fit for the first test, doctors said he was out for 6 weeks, 4 weeks before the 1st test and that hasn’t changed but it looks like the selectors dare not ‘drop’ Bouch in fear he would throw a wobbly. Prince is a nice guy so his a good fall guy. If Neil Mac is still playing come the 3rd test then something must have gone really awry. He has even looked poor playing domestic cricket.
Interesting that I read that despite JP now being in the final 11 he will still feature for South Africa A against Australia. Ashwell Prince is likely to captain the A boys and Neil Mac may be given the game to get some form.

I'd be pissed off if I was Prince.

Agreed. Awesome player and he's even playing well in the shorter version.
With Bouch out, they haven't named a replacement WK. AB to take the gloves?

Prince is coming off a lengthy layoff, and should prove his fitness + form to get in the test side. Just because he hit a 100 off his last innings, should be no excuse to straightaway get him in the team. Duminy has proved to undroppable, and only Niel McKenzie is currently in doubt. But I'd rather not disturb the winning combo. If Niel proves to be ****, he should be dropped for the second test and Prince be brought in with ABD promoted.

Bouch is playing. He just won't be 100% fit.

I agree! If McK fails in the 1st test then Prince should get the chance and Amla or ABD can open!

Ah what the hell, someone's gotta say it.......
Ferguson for the Test side? Not for this tour obviously but he's gotta be in the minds of the selectors a bit. If he keeps his form up and the selectors continue their boycott of Victorian batsmen, he could slot in at 6. He doesn't get much of the ball for SA but the guy can bowl some handy meds too, tends to surprise guys with the pace he gets.
I've been quite used to bagging the crap out of him for years now but the truth is, he looks a lot better in defence these days. An absolute bolter but worth consideration.

Said it in the domestic thread last week, he's going to be a smokey for the SA (Obvs wasn't picked though) & Ashes tours, as he's obviously got the selectors attention. I'll be happy enough for him to continue his good form in the SS and FRC for another season though if he doesn't get picked
