Iβm glad weβre going to win, but I just wish guys would hold onto their wickets and just stat pad a bitβ¦
Genuinely sad that no one in our side averages above 40 let alone 50β¦
I understood Shukri bringing Dane Piedt back for the NZ series to bolster up the experience, however his continued selection since then has never made any sense.
With that 9-72 in the match, Kagiso Rabada's Test average is now sitting at 21.67 and his overall record in Asia has improved from an average of 35.6 to 27.61.
Easily one of the top 3 best red ball bowlers in the past 10 years.
One of the worst things of SA domestic cricket is that often after an XI is chosen, guys on the field get shafted one way or another because the XIs don't get chosen with roles as a priority.
Too often you see a guy batting 8 and not bowling, or bowlers not getting many overs.
@ZaahierAdams It was a good effort from Piedt, however it doesn't mean he is now the 2nd best spinner available to SA.
Simon Harmer is still far better than he is.
Neil Brand took 6 wickets on his Test debut against the same team, but we correctly didn't select him again.
