It's on the back of not enough top order batters in the country, Jared.
voice-verified
I just you know, it's a lazy answer I know, but it really does come down to that.
voice-verified
And I think it's if they had to take a call on him, I
voice-verified
Probably it was after the ashes.
voice-verified
But since we've we've come this close to South Africa and I think the question that will be asked is, um, if you have to go up against I mean we don't know whether Rabada will be fit for any of those tests, but even otherwise Jansen and Ingiri and Corbin Bosch and uh General Kutze and everybody else in their home conditions where
voice-verified
pitches uh especially in Port Elizabeth and which is gonna be a drop in and Cape Town, um, will should seem around.
voice-verified
Uh do you want someone who you put so much faith in for so long and who you think is still probably could come good against fi that kind of bowling or
voice-verified
Do you just take a real punt on someone who probably hasn't been at that level before or hasn't been there for a long time?
voice-verified
I think it comes down to that.
voice-verified
But I still don't think there's any guarantee that he plays that Durban Test.
voice-verified
I think the solution is right in front of them is to basically call a board meeting, sit Steve Smith down, ask him what it'll take for him to bat at number three.
voice-verified
Because if he does that
voice-verified
I think there are enough middle order batters even within this squad that they can fill in and s you know, mm keep Manus as a reserve.
voice-verified
But it all comes down to how they convince Steve Smith to do
voice-verified
y you uh make uh a lot of sense, Jared.
voice-verified
No, you're absolutely right.
voice-verified
Uh because then because this was the question I think we uh debated on a couple of weeks ago as to
voice-verified
You you only take him if you if you play him at number three.
voice-verified
Right?
voice-verified
Or you play him straight away and then if he fails then well that's pretty much it then.
