Out of interest does anyone know who's got the rights for this series please, is it Sky/BT/AN other?

Cheers

yes Prior, I should of included him in the line up. Superb player.....certainly if youre looking at Butler/Bairstow with Prior the latter made himself into an acceptable keeper but his batting was far higher class than the other two

I don't know if I would say that, because Prior played almost exclusively in a winning team behind 6 guys averaging 45. That meant he got to make significant amounts of hay...

That said, the other side of the argument is that there was credible talk of him playing as a front line bat on a couple of occasions, with Colly in the frame to miss out, so the management must have regarded him highly.

And in Foster, he had his very own Foakes...

ODI and T20 squads announced//www.ecb.co.uk/news/1530738

Some interesting selections/omissions from both sides really; find it weird to leave out Buttler (our VC) for the ODIs; I assume Bairstow will keep instead of Banton. Good to see guys like Brown, Banton, Mahmood and Parkinson around the team. T20 side on paper looks hot, if we're naming an XI now it's probably

Roy/Buttler/Malan/Morgan/Bairstow/Stokes/Moeen/Jordan/T Curran/Archer/Rashid

That being said, the discarding of someone like Liam Plunkett irks me

I can't believe they've dropped James Vince  :(

Indeed !

Root not in the T20. Controversial? The end of Root as a 20/20 player?

Yes I very very much hope so. Despite being a poor Captain...he is let’s be honest...he still remains the golden nugget, clearly 4th with the big 3 ahead of him, but our best batsman since Gooch/Pieterson.

I hope it’s permanent and he can focus on one day and tests, he need him back to his best.

I think not being in the T20s does Root a massive favour

So Sibley and Crawley will tour with the lions to Australia after SA. Good to get more red ball experience I guess?

Good call that, with half an eye on the next away Ashes it makes sense to send your leading top order prospects over for some experience. More interesting to see Northeast and Jennings in there too!

Makes absolute sense, the more game time and being around the set up the better, hope to see more of this

South Africa Test squad: Faf du Plessis (capt), Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock, Dean Elgar, Beuran Hendricks, Keshav Maharaj, Pieter Malan, Aiden Markram, Zubayr Hamza, Anrich Nortje, Dane Paterson, Andile Phehlukwayo, Vernon Philander, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Rudi Second, Rassie van der Dussen.

Pretty mediocre South Africa side, bowling is good. Batting looks like a second division county side. Bavuma more lives than a cat...

It’s going to come down to which set of inexperienced bats handles the bowling better.  The other thing is England have a tendency to underestimate opposition, which could play into SA hands.
