And possibly no Anderson and even Woakes now...

no anderson is probably bad for sa because it means they'll be on the end of broad's seven or more wickets for very little runs spell this season

6 Quicks , 1 spinner squad expected again ?

Can't see it changing. Who would be the extra spinner, Piedt, maybe Shamsi? And I can only see us doing that if we drop Duminy altogether... unlikely to happen.
I would be interested in which quicks though. Rabada, Philander, Morkel, Morris, Parnell, Olivier? I would not be against Ngidi in the squad for experience purposes during our domestic off-season. SA 'A' tour is finished by then. I so want to see Markram in the squad and de Bruyn in the team.

I'm not sure at what stage the wickets get tired in England. Manchester, Nottingham , Oval & Lord's this time ? Basically the first two replacing Leeds and Birmingham. But I agree I can't see us playing two spinners but they probably will pick Piedt to cover all bases.
I think those 6 are the obvious 6 for the seamer position at this stage. Ngidi and Dupavillon would be my next cabs off the rank.
The batting was the issue in NZL - just hope they brave enough to make the big decisions on Cook and Duminy.

Cook is less of an issue to replce with Markram, replacing Duminy is difficult because if de Bruyn comes in then Parnell almost has to play in front of Morris for non-cricketing reasons. And obviously Bavuma's form is a problem and I don't know what happens if Rabada gets injured....
But Is till like our Test team overall and think we are stronger there than in the limited over stuff....

Been reading the Somerset supporters views and they say they don't know what they going to do when Elgar leaves. Carrying the whole batting unit this season.
In the runs again yesterday at Lord's : Elgar plays on but Abell, Davies still out of tune | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

SA 'A' OUT : Mosehle, Magala, Paterson, Shamsi
IN : Markram, Smith, Olivier, Dala
So basically went for more batsman which I'm not against as besides Olivier/Ngidi there isn't a lot to work with for future SA in quick bowling.
England Lions got 349/7
and Markram with a little 4-for

You guys certainly building your best depth in limited overs batting. Quite a change from traditional England because it's now the test batting line-up with a few issues.
SeamUp

Not unexpected though. When you weaken a system it will have knock on effects. As I have been saying just got to hope individuals keep developing.
A tour like this for Markram, de Bruyn, Smith, Mulder, Ngidi and Olivier can be invaluable.
Just on Theunis. Just a bit concerned with his struggles when he has to come in against spin.

Yeah... I hope it is not a terminal thing, and that it just takes a bit of adjustment to his technique to sort out.
Note Smith scored 43 as well..which is good.

I think the selectors could seriously think of taking Kuhn as the back up keeper as well as pushing for opening spot for England test tour. Shoot-out between him and Markram for opening spot.
de Bruyn and Bavuma badly need a big score too because it is the middle order without AB, Rossouw etc that we need to sort out.
