That might help.

Can someone kick ABdV in the nads and put him out for the series??

I see Puddle has done a groin. I wonder how Wank has been going in the nets?

From a head knock? Or did he strain a Watto heartstring? Suspect he'll play, but not bowl.

It is such a shame Rabada has been rubbed out. His bowling has been a treat to watch. Snorkel to return?

Er, I don't see anywhere I mentioned a head knock. Are you on drugs?

Groin strain Skully. SGDT.

horrie was just assuming everyone shared his anatomy

Or he has fixation on male genitals.

I was not suggesting Marsh was sharing his head around.

Yes, but given he was probably not likely needed, he could have rested.

Saker thinks that Rabada out is series-turning. This was probably SA's best chance of winning a series at home but they've stuffed this up with Rabada's aggression.

Steyn has been ruled out of Newlands so Morkel will likely return. De Bruyn could also be on shaky ground with Bavuma fit again but he hasn't played for some time.

Stoinis has been mentioned in dispatches to replace Marsh if necessary.

There's always an excuse ... Lardy channelling the Warpies?

Look, no doubt the bloke has improved, albeit off the worst record of a number 6 in history. If he is to hang around he needs to play more innings of substance against decent attacks on decks that are not autobahns. Doubtless he will be a fixture for the next five years. He needs to get his body together if he is to have claims on an all rounder status. This means being able to bowl ten overs an innings without going down in a whimpering puddle. I strongly doubt this will happen.

Stoinis?????

The bloke who has scored 158 runs @ 19.75 in the Sheffield Shield this season? Or are we selecting him on his 2016/17 Sheffield Shield form when he made 197 runs @ 17.91?

Mitch is a shit slips fielder regardless of whether he is injured or not ....way too many easy drops 

He keeps improving his batting ....his bowling has been handy with a couple of saffie wickets ....body always a problem

Would you rather they let Wildermuth stir saffie powerade?

Let the beeste loose!

I would like to see young Moisis go over there. He has a better Shield batting average than Stoinis this season (26.31 compared to 19.75) & he is a dubber.

With the allusion to poor fielding, I wasn't only referencing the dropped catch. He escorted a ball to the boundary late in their innings.

which is exactly the bit, and the only bit, I referred to; can't chase hard if your groin is gone

WW is damned funny ... Aye Reeks ffs, a Kjnr dream.

Bruce Francis may still be available.

Ha, sarcasm might become reality. Funnier things have happened before.

Mishmash charged for calling Rambo Rabada a Footscray Netball Club (or something)....can they wash his mouth out with soap?

If he was injured then why TF was he fielding at all? It's not like he's Jonty Rhodes when he's fully fit

you know they never use the "right" format to justify their whacky selections unless it suits them.

The two Marshs and Uber are ordinary in the field. It is one of the poorer fielding teams around.

Get Head on the plane.
