Or Ernest Masuku

Alex Falao?

My guess as his over there

I am assuming not Evan’s by googlys post.

Is Evans carrying a niggle? someone mentioned it the other day.

Would be interesting if there are any additions to the team already in the UK. Would have been nice to see how Matigimu goes. Any chance of them jetting in Naqvi or the veteran Maruma as cover for Williams.

With Ngarava injured and Blessing off to IPL have a wild guess who is replacing them for this SA game.

Matigimu?

Higgins

I reckon they'll just use what they already have

Curran
Bennett
Welch
Ervine
Madhevere
Madande
Tsiga
Masakadza
Nyamburi
Nyauchi
Chivanga

If they need a 12th man, they'll use a local kid or might get someone who's already in the UK playing club cricket

Thought this was bloody rude

The IPL is actually unwatchable now. 2 months of unrealistic slogging and games which mean zilch.
I cringe at some of the comments which come out of these Indian punditry circles. Irfan Pathan came out with a couple of shockers recently, about how teams touring India should be paying them for the privilege. Laughable. This IPL money machine is, however, starting to wane a little bit on the cricketing community. The recent viewership numbers in the UK is down 33% from the last edition, which says a lot in itself. I miss watching test matches in SA.

Apparently its Tinotenda Maphosa

[Googly]

Ya I'm not sure, but I know its not Evans. We've just seen that we need more accuracy in our seaming dept and only one guy ticks that box. Gimu bowls a decent line but I think hes injured.
Not that they need to, but its impossible to justify any other selection.
We're likely to be chasing 500 plus against SA, probably 500 plus against NZ. We're playing teams with serious batting line-ups.
