Absolutely, possibly the gutsiest shagger of all time.

A tad hard given the lack of cricket some nations have played and the quality that others have played against.

Also has the most ODI runs (8581 @48.20) and hundreds 21 for NZ.
Been an absolute rock for NZ at number 4 for 15 years, great longevity that you have to admire.
I thought this might be coming as he has struggled a bit for runs of late.

Good team, I think Karunaratne deserves to be recognised. Tom Latham is another opener that could be considered aswell as KL Rahul.
I'd probably go Williamson ahead of Labuschagne at three, just because he's been better for longer although it's it's extremely hard to go past Labuschagne at the moment. I expect Williamson to fill his boots against Bangladesh in their series starting soon.
Williamson as the captain in your team I'm assuming?
Who would you consider as an allrounder? I'd go with Ravi Jadeja at the moment.
Ashwin picks himself as the spinner, will be interesting to see if he can have a big impact against South Africa, that's if the Indian quicks don't roll them before he has a bowl.
Cummins picks himself and I like your selection of Southee. Afridi at just 21 already has a very good record and will only get better.
Other quicks to consider would be Bumrah, Jamieson, Starc, Anderson, Rabada and possibly Shami.

Did you see the highlights of him this Test? he looked disinterested at the crease.
I know how he feels, after 211 games I knew the moment I was done, was playing at North Haven, I couldn't wait to get out and pull the pin on my time in the game.

If not cricket in SAF is in a real bad way, biggest test of the year, tiny crowd, team that is struggling. They seem to be going backwards at rapid knots.

Yeah, I wondered the same, and came across found an article, saying they have actually shut out crowds for the series, but some certain % of corporate suites or whatever can attend so the Board can meet their contractual obligations. Article and decision was only a few days out from the Test IIRC
