what is the point of only 2 Tests?

SA board says Tests is a loss for them. Not profitable enough.

Should be given a go tomorrow then in the Pink ODI.  Joburg not a bad place for a pacer to make debut. 

Not sure if he has reached SA already.

Shami should be phased out...he looked abysmal and leaked a lot of runs with the old ball in recent SENA tests. 

 

Anyways, we should be winning the tests 2-0 as Rabada and Ngidi are unlikely to play and the already without Nortje. Ngidi and Coetzee are handy but I don't think they'll do too much..

Shami will continue I think till WTC 2025 cycle...maybe play the Champions Trophy 2025 as well.

 

Post that he will be phased out, unless our selectors show him carrot of T20 WC 2026.

Truly hope Akash Deep gets a chance in the XI. Of course, fans and TM must all be patient if he struggles in his first outing in alien conditions. But what an opportunity!

So one excuse is lined up for the test series defeat - Shami was not there!

If Shami's official age is taken at face value of 33, he should play until 2028 at least.

Age will catch him up, even a superfit guy like Umesh who is 36 is unable to sustain pace...I doubt Shami will be able to maintain his fitness in 2 years from now

These things seem to happen in series. 
 

First we had the Kumars, are we now entering an era of Deeps?

Deepak Chahar "Not out of the series" should be the news going forward.
