I would go;

J Hermann
De Zorzi
Breetzke
Brevis
L Pretorius
Moonsamy
Muthusamy
C Bosch
Paterson / Swanepoel
Ngidi/Coetzee
Maphaka

Decided there is no need to mess about. Throw in Lhuan-dre.


I just didn't know how to fit De Swardt in. Feel there are better batsman and bowlers in their main discipline & preferred using Sen to balance the team.

I'm still not entirely convinced about Bosch, so the only change I'd make to that side would be to replace him with Burger. That would mean that Swanepoel would need to play ahead of Paterson for his batting.

Absolutely cant argue with that. There is Burger & Lizaad Williams who is seemingly high up on the selection radar so you probably could switch them around any which way.

Is Nortje assumed not yet available for tests? I still think de Zorzi is ahead of Stubbs for test xi?
Other batters: Senokwane's last two seasons probably won't have him far off; Qeshile also as a pure keeper is hard to ignore ahead of Moonsamy (although how Fortuin got ahead of both of them vs NZ I'll never know...) They seem to be finally noticing Marques Ackerman, I wonder if Bryce Parsons is also on the radar as a batsman/back-up spinner... I also wonder if anyone has spoken to Ben Compton, who qualifies for SA and England; I can't see him getting into the England set-up atm with the current coaching regime, even though he's a far better prospect on cricketing decks than e.g. Crawley.

I think it would be foolish to write Sipamla off, with the lengths he was hitting and bounce he was getting in the 2nd half of the season he was a constant threat along with Yusuf... I really hope they're remembering that barring a niggle Eathan Bosch was always ahead of Corbin (having played for SA A vs SL). Corbin's career first div/franchise only bowling average of 38 and SR of 69 should tell you that he doesn't threaten players used to decent pace and bounce most of the time...
