1st Test : South Africa vs. West Indies - ketchim - 12-16-2014
West Indies tour of South Africa
at Centurion, Dec 17-21, 2014
South Africa were confronted with the retirements of two of their most experienced players
- Jacques Kallis and Graeme Smith -
Any margin of victory over West Indies will keep South Africa at No.1
A new batsman, likely to be Stiaan van Zyl, will be blooded while JP Duminy recovers from a knee
injury; a relatively new opener, Dean Elgar, will have the chance to cement his spot;
and two new squad members, Temba Bavuma and Kagiso Rabada, will have the opportunity
to be integrated into the national set-up.

"We're trying to make it as enjoyable as possible for the young guys, which is most important.
It doesn't make sense if you are doing something and not enjoying it.
So far we are in the right stead."
Creating a comfortable environment for new players is on Denesh Ramdin's mind :-[
