Cricket, Lovely Cricket
Wouldn't he be in line for an ODI recall soon too, given that he can bat a bit as well..

Yeah, he's been in good form with the bat too.

Think he must be close to a Test recall. Where will you fit him in though if Philander, Morkel, and Steyn are all fit (assuming we play a spinner in our next Test match)?

Maybe have him ahead of Philander? Or Morkel?

Don't think you can leave a fit Steyn out of your Test side (yet).

EDIT: Just looked at his Cricinfo profile - he only turns 27 this year, he's been around for so long I thought he was close to 30.
Another 50 for him today.I wonder would they ever consider batting him at 7 and bumping QdK up to 6?Could go:
Cook,Elgar,Amla,AB,Faf,QdK,Parnell,(3 of Steyn,Vern,KG,Morkel)Piedt

You are forgetting KG. Can't really be dropped after taking a 10 for in his last test.

Reckon KG and Steyn are guaranteed spots and piedt will be the spinner. So only one spot left for morkel,philander or parnel unless they drop a batsman and play either phil or parnel as an allrounder.

They could but I rather havee qdk at 7 with 6 batsman. Allows him to play with more freedom, at 6 he needs to be more circumspect.

Yeah, After I posted that I realised I'd forgotten about KG.

He's booked his spot in the Test XI for the foreseeable future.

if parnell still has the man bun then he doesn't deserve to be near a domestic team let alone a national team
