South Africa team selection

[Stefan9]

De Villiers could still play international cricket, that Legends level was too easy for him.

Only if they allow impact subs. His fitness was an issue all tournament. Can still bat like no one else.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Only has his diva antics to blame. Couldn't be bothered to turn up to a few ODIs in order to play the World Cup but he's found it in him to turn up to every league under the sun since then.

AB has always been an emotional cricketer, and I believe that in the final stages of his career he was wrongly advised about how to end it all.

 

[Bahseph]

Yeah the world has also changed its views on picking and choosing when to play international games. I think if AB was given one of those deals that Miller or Rassie were on he could have stuck around.

Kane Williamson of New Zealand is currently doing the exact same thing that AB wanted to do.

Kane at least won his country one ICC trophy unlike a certain choker strike-rate merchant who ran away before 2019 wc

The two teams will contest three 50-over matches at Willowmoore Park in Benoni from 30 August - 03 September, followed by a four-day match at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom (07 to 10 September), before wrapping up the tour with a second four-day match at Willowmoore Park from 14 to 17 September.

These seem like improvements on the Windies A squads.

Obviously guys like Breetzke, Pretorius, Brevis, Ferreira, B Fortuin & Burger not included. Bjorn in a T20 league?

Seniors moved on from like Eddie Moore & Keegan Petersen in FC cricket.

Other fairly experienced players not included like Neil Brand, Josh Richards, Janneman Malan, Grant Roelofsen, Gavin Kaplan, Mitch van Buuren, Ruan de Swardt, Delano Potgieter, Kyle Simmonds, Beyers Swanepoel, Migael Pretorius, Eathan Bosch, Dayyaan Galiem, Lutho Sipamla, Ottneil Baartman.

Still the young guys to watch at each Province;

WP: Bird, D Smith, Whitehead, J James, R Daniels
Warriors: M De Villiers, JP King, Boast, CJ King, Peters
Dolphins: Parsons, van Staden, R Pillay, H Viljoen, Mokoena
Lions: Seletswane, Esterhuizen
Titans: Lion-Cachet
NW: M Prince, Forrester, De Klerk, Seleka

Is Ruan De Swardt injured?
Thought he did very well on the last A series

Bulbulia the U19 captain looks promising too.

Nothing was said but does seem odd if dropped although I do wonder like Delano Potgieter is he strong enough in one of the disciplines. Saying that, that was my criticism of Corbin Bosch

Along with Rowles & Basson defo the picks of the next U19 batch. Maybe Majola as he has good pace.
