Hi milo,
I haven't seen him play though (probably from the same source) i see he's leading wicket-taker in 1st class matches this season.
without meaning to hijack the thread I wanted to ask a question of my own:
How about this Tsotsobe(?), he's a left-handed bowler also having a pretty good season by all accounts (certainly a very good past few matches that i've followed) and would give the already pretty handy S'african line up an added variation.
For those in the know - is he test material?
As for Nel - i think he's a fairly decent bowler (though i have to say i don't care that much and think he'll lose his place to M morkel when he recovers). when i have a mental scan through the test bowling line-ups at the moment i can't think of any i'd rule Nel out of without a second thought.
