They have some good young limited overs prospects

Surprised they didn't pick t20 guy...ummm yea name now come Donovan Ferreira

Reeza Hendricks also out injured.

The Saffers have had their fair share of injuries.

This is our best opportunity to win a match in SA. Come on men, you can win this!

So King is Hope according to cricinfo .

Nuff no balls and wides
6/0

Nice Brandon - four and again

I didn't realise that we were playing 3 tests against SA. The team strangely enough looks different .

Mayer’s pulls one fi four 21/0 after 4

In reply to Windiesfan78

This is the real test team?

Shamsi going to be a handful.

Up and over - lovely Mayers
26/0 after 5

Big Six and dat Kyle and now four

In reply to doosra

Yup , interesting move to open with King. Hope is batting at #4. King is more aggressive as an opener. So far so good.

Edgy fouurrrrr. Now
41/0 after 6

In reply to Windiesfan78
Very good move

Nice Brandon four more

Real good start dis

In reply to Chrissy

Windies 50 up in the eighth over.

Allyuh looking good

56/0 after 7:3

In reply to Chrissy

Early days but so far I'm pleased with what I'm seeing. It allows us to make better use of the first powerplay. Hope can anchor the innings while one of the openers is already set.

Brandon was playing club cricket - see why

Siiiix now fi Mayers

Wide and 4- 18 from di over

In reply to Windiesfan78

Mayers gives away a good start.

This isn't t20 cricket. You need to bat for longer.

Friggin long hop straight to the man.
