The players picked have the ABILITY to take on SA.

What WI have been lacking, of late, is not players without ability but all the other stuff added on top.

Professionalism, application, intelligence according to the situation.

The one time, apart from Lara, 2 WI players showed that, we won the ICC Trophy.

If the SA underestimate the bowlers, then the likes of Taylor, Powell, Washington and King will run through their line up.

But, yes, SA start as BIG favourites!!
