It&rsquo;s easy to say there&rsquo;s a lot of batsmen to watch, but I think those two guys hold the key for our team.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">On current evidence, Warner&rsquo;s selections are understandable, with Johnson the reigning ICC Cricketer of the Year and Starc having just been named the Player of the Tournament in the recent ODI tri-series against England and India.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Johnson now sits fourth on the all-time ODI wickets list for left-arm quicks, with 224 from 145 matches.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Starc has collected 61 wickets in his 33 ODIs, and despite sitting 20th on that same list, boasts a better average (21.27) and strike-rate (25.5) than anyone above him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Johnson is currently ranked fifth in the ICC ODI rankings, while Starc sits in seventh spot.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;If I was to say a batsman I&rsquo;d say AB de Villiers (as the opposition player to watch),&quot; he added.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;He&rsquo;s fantastic in all conditions, he&rsquo;s a world-class player. Bowling wise, I think there&rsquo;s a lot of good talent out here &hellip; someone like Dale Steyn is always pretty handy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;South Africa&rsquo;s a great team all round - I see them as the benchmark to try and knock off.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
