Why can't AB de Villiers be selected as a batsman when he's probably going to play as one?

 

[Sedition]

I read that he was going to be keeping in the 1st test, so I wanted to avoid people selecting two keepers. Was planning on making him a batsman for the other tests if that looked likely.

South Africa in England 2012: Thami Tsolekile named as Mark Boucher's replacement | Cricket News | England v South Africa | ESPN Cricinfo

Thami Tsolekile, the Lions wicketkeeper, will replace Mark Boucher in South Africa's squad for the Test series in England. Tsolekile, however, is unlikely to play the first Test from July 19, with South Africa coach Gary Kirsten saying AB de Villiers will keep wicket at The Oval.

 

[barmyarmy]

Ok, thanks.

 

[WestIndian]

Wonder how many persons have Amla as captain

 

[ZexyZahid]

Check out barmyarmy's team. He has got Cook, Smith, Amla and Kalis in his team with Amla as captain, so all the four centurions. On the other hand his team might lose today.

 

[barmyarmy]

Normally when I pick players they fail dismally. It's how England became number 1.

Only 1 point between 1st and 2nd Congrats to the top 3

 

[barmyarmy]

Not only my first ever FC win but quite possibly my first time even in the top 10
Incredibly close with Fenil as well.

I had Rudolph as a bonus player and he didn't even bat

 

[Fenil]

Dag Nabbit! That was so close! I could have won my first game here. Nevermind, Being 2nd is always better than being 4th. Lucky Colin.
