Janneman Malan - First impressions

[Nikhil_cric]

Exceptionally talented kid. Next great Saffer batsman?

[Mann Bharya]

He bats exactly like Reeza.

[Deewana Mastana]

He was always promising and in his first T20 international game he showed just that why he's an exciting player to watch.

[Hasan123]

Looks good. I think South Africa should test him versus Sri Lanka in the ODIs to see if he they can take him to the WC.

[Arham_PakFan]

Seems like another good top order batsman for South Africa.

Should be tested in ODIs next.

[Nikhil_cric]

Fantastic batting today. It was only street bowler Rauf after all but still the way Janneman owned him was impressive.

[Last Monetarist]

He's good enough to bat at 3 in the test team instead of van der dussen.

[Mamoon]

Special player. One of the finest talents from South Africa over the last 10-15.

Will be one of the best batsmen of his generation.

VD Dussen is quality. Malan will replace Faf in a year or two.

VD Dussen is quality. Malan will replace Faf in a year or two.

Not really, he's a journeyman cricketer that has languished in South African domestic cricket for too long. To be fair, I like him in the white ball formats and he should have been given a consistent chance in the ODI side 4-5 years ago. But he's not a test number 3 by any stretch of the imagination.

Sa wasted his 3 year's next abd

[Khan12]

Needs to improve against spin but he will be a terrifc player for SA.

[Hasan123]

South Africa need to include him in the test and ODI team. He is going to be a top class player.

[Bewal Express]

Bowl spin at him.

[Canistani Hero]

Funny how 3 ordinary balls from Haris Rauf can make you look like the reincarnation of AB De Villiers (said 3 because the 2nd ball was a genuinely brilliant bouncer and exceptionally well executed)

[sa88]

Good talent.
Also... can you imagine the desk uncle pronounciation of his first name? Jann-e-Mann!

[Ahson8]

Think he is genuinely good, has good stats in domestic, got a 100 vs AUS in his 2nd ODI as well, performed well in Mzansi.

Hes good to watch as well, a very good prospect for South Africa.

Lol, why if he had a Pakistani name.. your comment would totally different.

[Thunderbolt14]

Sa wasted his 3 year's next abd

I’ve heard “next ABD” in the last week about Markram, Malan, Dussen, and de Kock.

How is a team with 4 AB de Villiers ranked 5-6 across formats? Please show the guy some respect, not every guy can be the next AB - that guy was an absolute icon.

[Ahson8]

He's good enough to bat at 3 in the test team instead of van der dussen.

Van der Dussen is a solid batsman, if anything they should be looking at Malan to replace Bavuma, ofcourse that would mean Malan batting at 3 and Dussen moving down to 4

[silentkiller187]

Seems like the same comments pop up every time this janneman plays, he then disappears for a few years then pops back up as the next abd when SA need to put out a B team, nothing special.

[WhenSultansBowled]

His name in Urdu means "beloved one"

Seems like a quality prospect.

[Hasan123]

Will surely replace De Kock in the 3rd ODI. Got a brilliant century vs Australia last year.

Excited to see how he does. He is also in the T20 squad.

[Last Monetarist]

He should really be batting in the top 3 for South Africa in tests, he's too talented to be pigeonholed as a white ball specialist. With du Plessis's retirement there's a vacancy in the batting order as well.

[Markhor]

First time I've seen him live today.

Looks a composed batsman. Played some beautifully timed shots through off and legside, looked good on front and backfoot, and rotated strike well against the spinners. It was a belter of a pitch yes, but definitely a bright prospect.

[sam_ahm]

Janneman is one of the exciting young prospects for South Africa, showed a lot of promise today, along with Verreynne and probably Hamza they can form a very strong South African Middle order for the future.

[Mamoon]

Excellent player. Could go down as one of South Africa’s finest ODI opener along with de Kock, Kirsten and Gibbs.

He should already be part of their first-choice XI and not be used as a backup.

[Bilal7]

Where is Hamza? Now he was/is a great prospect.

[angrypathan]

Good player. Plays with stiff arms though, get the feeling any decent spinner will eat him alive

[shamaan]

He looked a class act whilst he was at the creese

[Last Monetarist]

First fifty in T20 internationals for Malan today, love watching him bat. Brilliant player.

[bujhee kom]

Has superstar potential and should have his slot locked.

[Firebat]

He's a quality stroke-maker. Some of his boundaries were just sublime to watch, all class and technique.

[sindhiboy]

An insanely good player of pace.
Played a slow babar like knock today though

[Markhor]

Would get him into SAF Test middle order ASAP.
