They're missing Duminy's bowling in a way, a solid spinner who could keep the runs down, they're left with 3 erratic leg-spinners, apart from Smith, who clearly doesn't want to bowl.

Kallis can also bowl holding spells. In reality they have been on the back foot a bit since Duminy's freak injury.

exactly, he's the type that would want to play until he's in his 40s

i guess being picked so late would do that, you'd want to make the most of it. gotta wonder what would've happened if he didn't ton up at the oval in 09 though

No complaints from him about the amount of cricket

If you tried to rest/rotate him out of the team, he'd be fuming

guessing bernie vince will be one, wait will Adelaide let him?

taking a stab at brodie smith for the other...tex walker would be ideal though, mates with pattinson too I believe

Interesting that du Plessis as a late bloomer looked reasonably composed too while the older Cowan has a good temperament. The only experiment with a seasoned campaigner that hasn't worked in recent times is Quiney. Sadly for him it will be curtains.

yep, trying to think of others...successes include trott, ryan harris, does mark gillespie count? nah I'd say he doesn't

failures...Badrinath didn't set the world on fire, tbh I can't really think of any more
