    *Official* South Africa Tour of the West Indies, AUGUST 6th to 26th, 2024-- 2 TESTS & 3 T20Is

    Exactly my preferred line up

    Stubbs is a generational talent. But batting him at 3 in this line up is going to kill him. Bavuma is a much better option in current line up

    Could not agree more. Shukri Conrad is up to something

    I fully agree. But do feel test level is where he can really shine. Wished they rather rested him for the shorter formats. Hoping that they are just working on technique and he is a fixture in the test team in future again

    Is Jansen really rested or is Shukri starting to look elsewhere? Maybe the "rested" line is in case Mulder doesn't perform. Really hope this is not the case, but why only Jansen? Rabada, Markram and Maharaj have all had the same schedule as Jansen more or less. The statement just doesn't seem...

    Seems like we were all wrong. Dane Piedt is the 2nd spinner

    I'm a massive George Linda fan and do believe he should have been given more oppurtunities. Sadly though, he was struggling after his injury this past season and think it's going to take quite a bit to force his way back in.

    Fortuin was the leading wicket taker in the 4 day series, taking 35 at an average of 26. Simon Harmer didn't play one FC game in SA last season. Are we selecting based on County performances? IMO, we need to desperately start looking at the future, Harmer is 35 and Maharaj is 34. What happens...

    Fully understand. Unfortunately the game is moving that direction more and more by the year, whether we like it or not. Test cricket will always be the pinnacle for sure. But if we as cricket lovers have a chance to expose the game on a global level, surely we can't turn our back on that...

    I just hope that this wasn't our best performance. Hoping there is more in the tank for the final. I realize to some people it might not mean much. But as someone that's followed the Proteas through highs and lows, all those semi disappointments etc. Having live and breathed cricket since the...

    I realize it's extremely unlikely. But remember where you heard this hot take first! :lol:

    Group A - India, Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, United States

    If there was anymore scrutiny and viewers needed for the Pakistan India needed. Already they posing questions regarding pitch and an extremely important win for either team. Could Pakistan beat India and USA upset India as well to make this group extremely interesting?

    How do you pull the 2 year stats? Been trying to do that

    IMO QDK spot is the one up for discussion, not Reeza. Whether that may be for Rickleton or Rassie(not possible atm as he is not in the squad).

    How can you say the guy hasn't earned a run in the national team? We have been way more patient with guys that have performed a lot less. Have you seen Reeza's T20 stats for the Proteas, his up there with the other guys in team? Average of 32 over with a SR of 133. QDK averages 32 with a SR of...

    Reeza was the only batsman worth anything in the WI series

    Personally I would go with the same team but play Fortuin instead of Coetzee. Should QDK not perform this game, give Rickleton a chance in the next game.
