Wade axed from the test squad to South Africa and Carey in along with Steketee,... Abbott, Neser and Swepson have maintained their places in the squad. Not sure Paine will be thrilled seeing Carey in the squad and I think the pressure will be on him to perform as captain as well as with the gloves and bat.
Steketee may be the leading Shield quick this season in terms of wickets? but has also come from the BBL and bowls a reasonable line but IMO wont bother the Saffies or anyone else too much. Honest trier at best IMO.
Saffies are playing Pakistan and were rolled for 220 but their quicks are all over the Pakis and have them 4 for 30 odd which i think tells you plenty about how they roll as a test nation in todays cricket and we should find them a lot easier than the plucky Indians to dismiss, its whether we can stand up with the bat and I think Smith might give us the edge in that area given he is the standout batter in either team.
