This is why having Coetzee and Ngidi in the wings is good for the overall squad...
Nortje to miss Wanderers Test
Proteas fast bowler Anrich Nortje has been released from the squad for the second Test against the West Indies at the Wanderers, which starts on Wednesday.www.sacricketmag.com
It is interesting that they decided not to call ngidi as a replacement.

In a two match series not really required. Does he not play for the Titans anyway? If there is an emergency then he can mozzy on down to the stadium.

Makes the most sense… they may argue for extra spinner considering how Wanderers has played recently. Particularly so late in season.

Not surprised. Just did not think it would be Harmer... dropping Petersen and Jansen is a surprise. I'm getting more a squad building feeling.

I don't envy Conrad's position , on one hand you want to play your best team every match , on the otherhand the lack of test matches means we are going to have some very frustrated guys on the bench if there is no rotation policy ..but damn if I'm Marco Jansen I'm pretty annoyed at warming the bench with that Test record . Asking Coetzee to share the new ball in just his second test is a bit risky .

I stand corrected, you did call it.
That was my thought too. I can't help but wonder if this team had basically been decided at the start of the series as it means everyone will have been given a go and the players who only got one match are to some extent players who are known quantities at this level and some of those who have played have been well-served by playing in both, like the two debutants.

Rossouw should be a part of the ODI side aswell , one helluva player we are missing out on .

Would have been nice to see one of the Bosch brothers in Protea colors, young Eathan had a very good SA T20 league competition, George Linde definitely has enemies in CSA
Not surprised if the pitch is still playing the way it did in SA20. Never seen wanderers spin as much as this season.

Yes and no, I think we've missed out on him but selecting him now serves no long term purpose. We have other just as talented batsmen not being selected that are younger and probably more hungry to play for SA.

He's better than Reeza Hendricks whose the same age , with this being a WC year it wouldn't have hurt to try .

You assuming I think Reeza should be there. With or without Reeza the SA selection has effected all squads to such a point that the only hope is rebuilding. Trying to correct old mistakes but making new mistakes does not help the future.

I say pick the best players , have a mix between future prospects and gun players .
