*Official* South Africa Test Tour of Zimbabwe 2025

Kenneth Viljoen

International Regular
I wonder if he even would have been selected if Sipamla was fit & or he didn't have that successful Durham stint?
For Durham he took 17 wickets @20.94 that must have definitely caught the eye of Conrad ! , there are so many fast bowling options that I guess whenever you get an opportunity you have to make it count in this Proteas team,
We welcome back Coetzee and Burger from injury , then there is the main guys Rabada , Jansen , Ngidi ..Maphaka is a long term project , Corbin Bosch , Lizaad Williams, if Nortje was fit he would play , they might still be looking at Gideon Peters down the line ..And now Yusuf is doing well on debut..

Haven't even considered Boast , Sipamla , Baartman , Tristan Luus , Beyers Swanepoel ..Pretty stacked !

It's pretty exciting. Its selfish of me but wish we could get them all into 5/6 teams & have strength v strength at domestic level again. Sort the boys out from the men. Or if not at least have a Duleep Trophy type tournament.

So will Zim be able to sub another player who could bat and bowl seeing as Bennet is ruled out because of concussion

Mulder can be indifferent with the bat but his ability to pick up wickets is almost supernatural

Kwena has just popped Williams on the head now. He did it against the Pakistani's as well. Was it Ayub/Babar?
 

Bahseph

International Debutant
We have a batting All-rounder producing with the ball mainly & bowling all-rounder producing with the bat mainly. Even Sen Muthusamy is a bit of a paradox. 😂
I’ve said it before with Sen but he is very effective when there is spin around and low bounce. His bowling becomes more effective and his batting is suited to it with his low hands. It’s why he dominated in Durban with the ball for so long and he seems comfortable with the bat in the SC. Mulder had his best run at 7/8 with the bat and this thing of him being at 3 is just ridiculous imo. Bin it now otherwise we could be ending his Test career early.
