Boult

Southee

Jamieson

Santner

Ferguson

Low pace but. Ferguson is not built for tests man. Unfortunately. 

 

Wagner is old now. They have one new kid. Saffer kid. He is quite food. I heard Marco jansens brother duan may go to n.z if he doesn't get selected for SA. His twin. Quite fast himself.

From what I have seen he looks subpar

Nah he has had a difficult beginning to test cricket and not got a chance where he should and as often as he should have. But he is like Pant in that even if he fails for the nonce his quality in the long run is unquestionable. They rate him only slightly below Kallis on potential which would give their team crazy balance with that accurate swing/seam bowling.

We will see. I don't see anything special in him tbh. Looks like a slightly better phelukwayo. But I haven't watched much of him. This is based on a couple of games I have seen. I could be totally wrong here. 

 

Let's see how it goes. They are still chokers though. 

I am really hoping to see tyagi prasidh bumrah siraj next time we tour them ruthless aggression. Blood for blood.

In Test Cricket, they have always always been quality, just had a small couple of years downside to get themselves back to the best.

 

When it comes to winning away from home, they have been arguably better than Australia too and hence in Tournaments like WTC, I think they will always be among the favourites.

 

Look at their pace attack for example - Rabada, Nortje, Jansen and Ngidi/Olivier.

 

Rabada a complete bowler, still young and has close to 250 wickets in tests

 

Nortje a 150 kph bowler

 

Jansen a left arm pacer who can swing the ball around and brings the angle.

 

Olivier can bowl barrage of short ball to trouble the batsman.

 

It is indeed a complete attack.

 

I hope Indian management learns from it and brings more variation in their pace attack. Need an express pace attack or a left arm pacer with good pace like Mohsin.

 

 

 

Kuldeep sen and Mohsin Khan, plus devlopement of kartik tyagi and umran is vital for us,we also need a handy lower order batter who can bowl

I am happy to see the progress of SA despite criticism of their quota selection.  It is imperative cricket having as many strong teams as possible. It is already a very small pool of countries. If the quality dips in many countries competitiveness will die. Finally their rebuilding looks good.

Kuldeep Sen is nothing special.

 

Mohsin and Tyagi are the ones I look forward to due to their skills. Umran hopefully develops a couple of variations and then he will be handy in shorter format with that pace.
