One has to accept that Klaasen will always be poor - he failed badly as a natsman = but the oprc wamnts him to replace De Kock. The Proteas made a mess of the game thus far anyway.

I am not sure - but think there should be some changes to the team. However, in the absence of a reliable wicket keeper (who can bat as well) - there is a limitation on selection options. I would rather see Makweti in the squad s a back-up wicket keeper. Klaasen failed as a batsman repeatedly this year and even on Sunday when a high run rate was required he made 5 from 7 balls faced. Not good enough. At least one four would have helped - but there was none.
So who should be considered for the line-up today:-
1 Van der Dussen
2 Malan
3 Hendricks
4 Markram
5 Miller
6 Klaasen (?)
7 Morris
8 Phehlukwajo
Am not sure about the rest of the bowlers - I think Hendricks, Dala and Shamsi is useless.
