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, m keep Manus as a reserve.

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?
