*Official* West Indies in South Africa 2022/23

Nice to see Markram back. To the poster asking where he was for the Australian tour - he'd averaged about 14 in his previous 10 tests so dropping him was probably an act of kindness. I'd have thought he'd thrive more at number 4, so de Zorsi to open and Petersen at 3 seems the right option...

I thought Linde was the number 6/7 batsman who can bowl a bit of spin to allow 4 seamers?

I like Holder but he'd better start scoring some runs again, which he hasn't been doing lately, because with Mayers in the side it's hard to see what role he really has for away tours...

How are captains not getting banned from matches on a regular basis? Does anyone outside of the subcontinent get even close to 90 overs per day anymore?

Poor start from Joseph. Have a feeling SA will get 370 odd and WI will be in pain.

Heh, wrong again. Good ball but he's played that atrociously. Classic tailender dismissal.

Does need to work on his economy , too many 4 balls ..The best bowlers control the run rate
He is 22... needs lots more work on a few aspects. (Same as Jansen) But looks really good and has a great attitude and lots of fire; can't ask for more at such a young age. Why I love him in the setup early, will improve quickly.

Every SA lover of cricket should love the thought of Coetzee, Rabada, Nortje, Jansen steaming in.

Ngidi debuted at 22 and got a 6-for vs India , now he's no longer in the team so it's a tough school , lots of competition for places in the fast bowling department,which is a good headache.

Ngidi is still most definitely the next in line... and I would prefer him in the LO squads. But raw intimidating pace really works well in Test cricket and it can work well everywhere. It was a huge basis for the WI success in the 80s....

Did I really hear Michael Holding refer to a short person as vertically challenged?

This is a ****ing good partnership between Reifer and Blackwood , this West Indies side came to play good cricket , since the third session of day 1 they have been the better team .
