Surprising that the Proteas have put on over 300 on the first day. Positive thinking brings positive results. Bright future ahead for this team.

Unfortunately, middle order never perform.

One swallow does not a summer make - but one does have to say the pitch was difficult to negotiate - only Markram stood up - and the West Indian decided to ride his luck and almost pulled if off.

How RIckelton can't make the side is beyond me - I'd pick him above all the middle-order batsmen - and he gives you the option of opening the innings, or as a wicket-keeper; now I read that he is not in 'competition' with de Zorzi, but may be preferred to Petersen

Also just saw that Nortje is out of the 2nd test :(

Maharaj will come in for Nortje.

Muthusamy will make way for Rickelton.

I read that South Africa will play 28 tests only in the next 5 years. Unfortunately Rabada might struggle to get to 500 wickets. He is currently on 270 odd.

28 tests in five years that is pathetic from the ICC l bet that in that time India play at the very least 50 and England 45. It’s no wonder the SA test side don’t perform anymore

Braithwaite has 17 off 33 balls atm He looks like he is there to bat for well over 200 balls. Looks relaxed at the crease which is a bad sign for the bowlers

Interesting statistics. Shows how mediocre our batters are at International level in Test cricket.

Unfortunately Rickleton never perform in the Tests and ODI's against West Indies. He will have a pretty hard time to get into the side in the future with De Zorzi showing the right signs. Brevis should be included soon to see how he does with the ODI World Cup in mind.

My top six batters for the World Cup,

De Kock
Bavuma
Van Dussen
Markram
Klaasen
Miller
