Feel it was definitely the right thing to have done. His replacement for the Test team will say much. I hope it is QDK, I have been surprisingly impressed with his attitude and communication with the players. And he is obviously a belligerent from the front type leader with his batting.

*Bavuma’s selection is dependent on the results of an MRI scan of his right hamstring that he will undergo during the course of the day. [/QUOTE]
Return of Faf, Rabada and Nortje. 2x Hendricks and Magala dropped. (Not that Magala was every really in the squad).

Apparently AB has a place if he wants it.
If AB de Villiers is ready and willing, he will be at the T20 World Cup - Mark Boucher

I was wondering, whats the issue with Tahir, I thought he was still playing t20's
Shamsi is no Tahir

I think Imran is in the Pakistan Super League rather. Not sure if they have said to him that they know what he can do so he can play in it rather than for SA.

I`m unsure regards Morris... but pretty sure both ABdV and Tahir will be selected if available for T20 WC. I suspect that Rabada and Nortje will rotate with Ngidi and Steyn. Interesting to see who Faf comes in for? He needs to either open or come in at 3. But Bavuma and QDK seem to do really well together as a partnership I don't know why but they seem to feed off each other often.

Put Faf in place of Klaasen, and rejig order. I know Klaasen played well last game

This is quite controversial but I don't think Rabada should be a lock for the T20 WC

How come?
Our other options aren't great. When guys like Magala are making the squad there's really no way you can leave out KG.

I believe that had to be irony...
To be fair to Magala he has been quite good in the domestic T20 stuff, good change-ups and block hole bowling. But he will need to lose more weight to get into national side. He officially has not been part of the squad even if hanging around due to his fitness issues.

Yeah agreed on everything - but there's no way he gets in a T20 team/squad ahead of Rabada. Ever.

I suspect the comment has lots to do with Rabada not looking quite as good recently. He only avg 30 in last 12 months. What people forget is that he is only just turned 24 been playing international cricket for 5 years in all formats and has been basically given the task of leading the attack for SA at a young age while SA are going through a crisis. That is a lot for young shoulders. I also have a feeling because he is playing so much cricket across all formats he is having his bowling tinkered with by many different bowling coaches. I suspect he will likely come good in the next 18 months or so and dominate world fast bowling for the next 10 years after that.

I should clarify, Rabada should be in a best XI no doubt, but the amount of cricket he plays should be carefully monitored. I'm not sure of SA's schedule leading into the WC, but hopefully he's allowed plenty of rest before so that he's firing come the tournament. But then, you don't want to be resting him for the majority of T20s and then play him in the WC as he might not go well. It's a fine balance with such a fantastic bowler
Not a question of his ability, but more how's he's handled in order to get the best from him. For a WC, you don't want guys playing on reputation and what they've previously achieved in the format without taking into account how their body is
