#3 JP Duminy
The highly criticised JP Duminy started for the Proteas ahead of Farhaan Behardien against Sri Lanka and justified his selection with a quickfire 38 off 20 balls that took South Africa from an average total to an above par one. He has been picked consistently for that kind of an innings but it has rarely materialised from the southpaw.
With the Edgbaston surface expected to be a belter, it remains to be seen how many overs Duminy gets to bat from no.6 but he has been known to shut down criticism with his bat in the past and the knock against Sri Lanka further emphasised that. He might also be called upon to deliver a couple of overs if one of the frontline bowlers has an off day.
