Is this televised?
Kyle Mills still going for NZ at the ripe age of 35.
Kiwi's have a fair bit of improvement to come once they rebalance their side and get some players back, that's a decent performance against South Africa's full strength side (other than maybe Rossouw).
Would Ryan Mclaren be first XI for SA?
Who else they got for an allrounder?
Miller I guess
With all his other talents AB is probably a gun bowler
Who else they got for an allrounder?
Miller is the better batsman IMO. Having Mclaren at 7 seems a longish tail (ODI average of 19). Luckily they do have such a strong top order.
What about making do with Duminy playing the 5th bowler?
Edit: Philander is a decent bat - he averages 27 test cricket
Duminy is good enough to be the 5th bowler, but they won't rely on Steyn, Morkel, Philander, Tahir & Duminy to bowl 10 each and have a good day everyday. Miller doesn't bowl, he's a pure batsman, but if Dean Elgar can get some form together then perhaps he could be the allrounder/6th bowler?
De Kock
Amla
DeVilliers
Du Plessis
Miller
Duminy
Rossouw (wk)/Mclaren/Elgar
Philander
Steyn
Tahir
Morkel
If they have faith in 5 bowlers then Rossouw could play as a keeper down at no. 7?
