Really has been a two man show with the bat this series, huh? Aside from David and Brevis, hardly anyone has done anything of note

The more I watch of Stubbs the more I think he should be higher up the order. Doesn’t necessarily cut loose the way Brevis can at the start of an innings.
Still think Stubbs should be at 3. Push Pretorius and Brevis down one. Remove Rassie from the team... And yes I know he is doing okay now...

Can someone explain why Inglis doesn't remove the glove like other keepers in the final overs? Seen this now often in the final overs from him.

It's odd because he's made his name in the IPL off being one of the best death hitters going around. Just hasn't been able to kick on when set this series.

Yeah it’s strange but from watching him across formats for SA he actually seems like a guy who likes to get set before popping off. He has fallen off over the last few Tests he has played but I’ve been surprised that he has a game to bat long. I think he gets away with hitting out in the IPL because some of the bowlers aren’t up to international standard.

I agree with @StephenZA , get him at 3 and Miller at 6 for Rassie with Jansen coming back and it’s looking a little better. I’m also on the fence with Kesh not being in this T20 team. Muthusamy is a decent long form bat and he could do a job at 7 in Tests but in LO cricket he is not a big hitter. I don’t know if the batting he COULD provide is enough to discard our most skill full spinner. Might as well play Linde and ask Markram to chip in with an over or two.

Pretty funny how the comms were saying in the first few balls that Marsh should play the pull from up to down and hit fours instead of sixes. He’s now done the opposite and cleared the ropes 3 times.
