The Proteas, meanwhile, have selected a bare-bones team that includes seven players without any international experience for their two-Test tour of New Zealand, led by 27-year-old debutant Neil Brand. When you consider the combined experience of the two sides, it becomes painfully evident how weak each is. Only a few more Test matches than Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon's combined 230 Tests have been completed by the 15 Caribbean tourists. The quintet of South Africans? Their combined experience in Test cricket is a meagre 51, barely surpassing the 52 individual Test matches that New Zealand quick Tim Southee has played in his native country.
