Nicely balanced tour this; 2 T20Is, 5 ODIs and 3 Tests, with everything building up to the TEsts. Would be made better if the tour fixture was longer than 2 days, but will take it.

SA to be undeafeated in the Tests btw, no idea about the limited overs stuff though.

ODI and T20 squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Jacques Kallis (vice-capt), Hashim Amla, Loots Bosman, Johan Botha, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Charl Langeveldt, Ryan McLaren, Morne Morkel, David Miller, Alviro Petersen, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Roelof van der Merwe

Test squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Jacques Kallis (vice-capt), Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Paul Harris, Ryan McLaren, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Alviro Petersen, Ashwell Prince, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe

No Rusty? That's sad.

I think the SA would take the tests but I want Duminy to not shine so they can send him back to domestic cricket. 2 or 3 fifty and he'd retain his place. He has technical issues to sort out.

I won't mind if SA lose the ODIs and T20 because they're carrying so many out of form, not-deserved-to guys in their teams.

Gibbs, Bossman, V Der Merve, etc should go back to where they are good at, doemstic cricket.

I can't see Gibbs name anywhere? I don't exactly mind Bossman, I think he actually offers something for SA, he's similar to Warner I guess.

I'm looking forward to the Tests, I don't think SA will win it 3-0.

I have a strange feeling we might win a test but lose the other two. Our test cricket has not been too bad recently and we have JT back from injury to help out young Roach.

The ODI's will be swept by SA as we just have not worked out how to play ODI's against decent opposition. If Gayle fires we might win a match I suppose but that will be about the only joy we take from the limited overs stuff IMHO.

Who was it that lost lots of money when England lost the series in West Indies?

Anyway whoever that was, I could be that guy in 2010, because I'll be putting a fair bit on SA for the tests I reckon.

At least a year from now, or a year from when the injury occurred?
Should be back early next year, but to be honest i doubt he'll even be the same player he was before the injury and i'd rather give our young pacers a chance, we've got Jason Holder, Shannon Gabriel and Nelon Pascal (who'll probably get his chance in this series) doing well for the A-team so i'd expect one of those to be a fixture in our bowling unit by the time Fidel is fit.

As for this series, in the short games it's a toss up really, the tests will be very interesting though, it will be our first under Gibson and we put up a spirited showing in our last two tests against the Aussies, no doubt the likes of Steyn, Morkel, Amla and Kallis will be hard to overcome but on the other hand i'm confident we'll have a spell where we make them look average, and it's whether we take advantage of that moment that could make all the difference in the end.

Gibbs and Albie Morkel have been dropped, while Alviro Petersen and Amla come into the squad....

As for the WI, their A team is currently playing a couple of unofficial 'Tests' in Bangladesh right now, so I don't expect any players currently on A team duties playing any part in the 20/20 and ODI series.

However, that will probably change for the Test series....

I'm sure some young guy who took two wickets and scored 19 runs in the local 2nd grade competition will turn up on the day.

The WI have named their squad for the two 20/20 matches and the first two ODIs, all of which will be played in Antigua....

It's the same squad that played in the world 20/20 champs, minus Wavell Hinds, who hasn't been replaced.

Darren Bravo anyone? Kid looks an amazing talent.

West Indies might actually do well in Tests and T20's thatn the ODI's. They simply don't know how to play ODI cricket.

Their Test record especially at home has been better than their ODI's. I doubt if they will win a Test match, however I feel they will run them close. I expect the Tests to be pretty well fought provided there are no injuries to key players in West Indies.

I predict 1-1 in T20's 4-1 for SA in the ODI's and a hard fought 2-0 for the Saffies in the Tests.
