The Castle Lager Test squad to take on New Zealand in the new year is:

Smith (C),

Petersen,

Amla,

Kallis,

de Villiers,

Du Plessis,

Elgar,

Philander,

Peterson,

Steyn,

Morkel,

Kleinveldt,

Rudolph

Strong squad and no ttoo much t oquibble about. Only thing lacking is a top class spinner although Peteron has matured and is a nice all round package. Hope Kallis is over his side strain as 4 seamers and a spinner  is ideal - plus Faf can turn his arm over. Glad he will get a further run as he has earned it.

Ek are there no spinners of quality knocking on the door. Havent the Lions got one guy?

Rudolph a bit lucky to hold his place, Duminy no doubt still injured. Also glad Elgar was not dropped. If  a guy is chosen he must be given a decent run.

They seem to be happy with Peterson as frontline spinner. Phagiso is getting his run in the T20 Squad. Yeah maybe Elgar finds it at home.

check out the T20 squad, there are some real surprises there.
