    9. Vernon Philander
    10. Dale Steyn
    11. Morne Morkel

    12. Kyle Abbott
     
  2. Athlai JJD Heads

    Duminy specialist # 8. WAG
     
  3. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Nah Duminy the frontline spinner basically.
     
  4. Athlai JJD Heads

    Bat Vern ahead of him IMO. JP WASC
     
  5. Arheiner SIA Yates

    Can't you just drop him to 11 and make KP the spinner?
     
  6. Quaggas O du Toit

    Four spin options there. SC, here we come....
     
  7. Hunter AD Hunt

    Severe lack of Albie.
     
  8. Cribbage RG Cribb

    There would be some juicy irony in CPL Africa telling Pietersen he was, after all these years, still a spinner.
     
  9. Quaggas O du Toit

    Next, someone will be saying KP is not an allrounder
     
  10. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Will this side be adhering to a racial quota policy?
     
  11. morgieb MC Burridge

    It's got JP, Philander and Amla so I think so. Besides quotas don't exist anymore.
     
  12. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Not now, at least. Though there's a movement to re-implement them.

    Best team easily.
     
  13. Phlegm SP Phlegm

    McLaren > Duminy

    Lack of Albie also bullshit. 7 batsmen, one norounder and three specialist bowlers ftl. 2 English players wtf as well.

    First 11 African players picked as a team. How hard is that to understand?
     
  15. Phlegm SP Phlegm

    Very hard for someone who forgot it was just a team of the first eleven picks.
     
  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Like the other teams I gave myself a bit of leeway if balance really dicated that the first eleven picks would be a ridiculous side, and Abbott + a couple of others were actually picked ahead of Duminy I think, but a team with five seamers in it is ultimately pretty silly IMO. If Abbott was to come in you'd probably leave Faf out rather than Duminy, but I feel Kallis probably allows for that side. Duminy picked as a bowling allrounder.

    Hypothetical rep CPL rules say that you have to live in a country before you turned 13 to represent them, which means Trott and Pietersen only qualify for South Africa.

    Cribbisms
     
  19. Cabinet96 OTN Wood

    Dat balance. Should also have played Garry Ballance to get a wider representation of the continent.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Well you pricks should've picked him earlier then. :p
