Was going to mention this. ABDV mentioned in his press conference that he was very excited about team selection

[Aussie In England]

Lions franchise will be pretty chuffed if Rabada, Morris and Viljoen play on their home ground together.

I reckon Abbott, morris, Viljoen, Morkal and Rabada will all play.

So, Elgar, Amla, Faf, AB, de cock and bavumma then bowlers

That doesn't forfill the quota though, does it??

I suspect you are right. only 3 out of 4    Oh well, seamers wicket.. let's lose a seamer for a pie chucker

Hales ill, selection to be assessed tomorrow morning! Are we at risk of Ballance coming back in, maybe to open?

Wow.....that would send the forum into overdrive   

[northernboy1987]

Surely if Hales misses out Compton would open with Ballance/Taylor at 3/5?

[smilley792]

Compton will open and Ballance at 3.

Or Taylor at 3 and balance at 5.

Maybe, Compton is much more of an strength at 3 than opening with Cook for me though, and I'd rather bat one bloke out of their usual position than 2/3/4 guys moving. Not sure what England would actually do of course. Send out Big Samit and tell him to get on with it!

[Kulli]

Compton will open and Ballance at 3.

Or Taylor at 3 and balance at 5.

That would seem only logical, got plenty of cover.

[ProCricketer1982]

EEYORE IS SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW


FILTHY FILTHY Saviour HALES WILL BE OUT OF THE TEST TEAM.. WOOOOO. Don't like them messing Compton about but hey ho, they've not taken anymore proper batsmen with them so it has to happen and Balance has to come in at 3. Still, if it's a seamers paradise then we might be glad of more proper batting.. can't do worse than Hales anyway!! Leave Taylor alone, he's not a top order batsmen.. very much middle order

South Africa aren't gonna play 5 batsmen and their keeper and 5 fast bowlers. Makes no sense whatsoever. If you play 5 front line fast bowlers, one will be underused.

That said the bowlers with the best FC record at the Wanderers are Viljoen, Morris, Abbott and Rabada. But would South Africa consider leaving out Morkel, when Steyn and Philander are already missing? Very unlikely.

Duminy will come in the little Bavuma might be forced into opening

[FattusCattus]

I think Gary at 3 adds more balance to the line up.
