South Africa need spin solutions - chairman - 10-18-2013
Not more than an hour after South Africa crashed to their first Test defeat away from home in three years, the team was back at the drawing board, working on ways to avoid another. While some of the squad were licking their wounds, Imran Tahir was bowling on the practice pitch.

Proteas in a similar mode as West Indies when Pace like Fire was the be all and end all !
Pak playing 2 Spinners ....some 35 year old debutant and the regular Ajmal.

But venue awareness or playing in the Desert as England learned :
Steyn. Morkel , Philander and Kallo can only accomplish so much !

Very true Ketchmeister.

Alright, so Imran Tahir's the best they have. And funny, I think JP Duminy is the next best probably they have. Robbie P seems like an utter waste of space.
They should invest in Tahir and pray that it works out for him. I can't see any quality spin options emerging out of SA, unfortunately.
