here are no and I mean no other spinners out there , apart from boje and botha that take wickets for SA.
Maybe Smith should just be used as a brief interlude while the bowlers take a rest or to fill the gap before the new ball. There are days though where even part-timers can be dangerous and he's not shoddy and he gets the ball spin a bit. Botha did look to be able to take wickets as he is more aggressive, Boje for me never looked like he was going to take a wicket, his capabilities with the bat are pretty good but SA are to play a spinner solely as a spinner then they want someone who can take wickets.
