Well Maharaj is a must for t20 world cup but fine to have other spinners competiting for 2nd and 3rd spin spots. Lindes bowling is a worry though.... sybs, Peter's and I like muns bowling darties for t20s.

We really need Nqaba Peter to develop for the long-term.

In many ways, he like Stubbs could do with time in the middle playing high level domestic cricket. They have too much ability to not get their mojo back.
Kenneth Viljoen
International Vice-Captain
Coetzee hasn't really done much wrong in the odi format , 31 wickets in 14 games @23 ..
Been dropped more for being injury prone and then being fit only for the T20 leagues lol
All formats and why him cause of age ?
T20 or 50 or both ?
Luus deserves a crack like Maphaka got.
Does know one think Verynne is abit unlucky he hasnt done much wrong in 50s or t20s can be a jonty Rhodes type as a batsmen fielder reserve keeper.

For some reason Kyle Verreynne is viewed as only a viable selection if he keeps wicket, I agree in ODI cricket hasn't done much wrong
Bahseph
International Debutant
I wonder if he comes into the conversation more if Bavuma and Rassie weren’t around. From what I’ve seen of him in ODIs he is that kind of accumulator.

Especially after that 190 v Sri Lanka A. Talk has died down.

One of the problems SA has had historically is that we rely too much on the steady approach at the top and then expect players to immediately hit the ball out of the park who are not good at that (see Mulder at 7!), or picked players hoping they could spend a few overs getting their eye in, before opening up and thus wasting balls after the top order had already not been dynamic enough.
If you are going to rely on a steady approach for the first 30 overs, then you need truly dynamic players at 5/6/7 to get you to a top total in the last 20. I`m actually a fan of having 2 of the top 4 being steady reliable players and giving everyone else the freedom to just go for it. But that needs a caveat for those players to think about the circumstances they are in without becoming overly cautious. I wonder if people realise how good Amla really was for us when he opened, kept the game moving early and was so very reliable.

Rickelton is the one who keeps surprising me. Always thought of him as a big hitter, but seems much more of a steady player.
