The only real one is that Ashwell's on the list. But it's only a preliminary squad, so there's still plenty of time to get rid of him.
The good news: My best friend's on the list. Apparently Vaughn van Jaarsveld's domestic team is called the bizhub Highveld Lions. Can a South African please explain that to me?
CJ de Villiers is trying to take over AB de Villiers' spot in the national side. I know it.
ROFL is also on the team.
Then there's Arno Jacobs. That's the kind of nickname we give our serial killers in Australia (no joke). And yes, we give serial killers nicknames. The only one we haven't is Ivan Milat, and that's just because he already has a brilliant name. Plus, he cut off his own finger with a plastic serrated knife, so he's slightly too insane for our liking.
The Squad: Graeme Smith, Yusuf Abdulla, Hashim Amla, Gulam Bodi, Loots Bosman, Johan Botha, Mark Boucher, Henry Davids, AB de Villiers, CJ de Villiers, Friedel de Wet, JP Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Arno Jacobs, Jacques Kallis, Heino Kuhn, Johann Louw, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Justin Ontong, Wayne Parnell, Alviro Petersen, Robbie Peterson, Ashwell Prince, Daryn Smit, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Roelof van der Merwe, Vaughn van Jaarsveld (bizhub Highveld Lions).
I bolded Albie's name just for fun.

Morkel bowls Pietersen and de Villiers out
No, not that Morkel. It was, alas, Morne Morkel's day in the spotlight.
And no, it wasn't that Pietersen. It was a Charl Pietersen.
You probably already suspect this, but it wasn't that de Villiers. This one is a CJ de Villiers.
South Africa seem to be running out of surnames.
In a domestic match between the aptly named Gestetner Diamond Eagles and the Nashua Titans (That first name is fabulously strange), Morne Morkel decided to take on board some of the extensive coaching Vinnie Barnes has been giving him over the past few months and beat the shit out of the opposition. He took a career best of 6/43 off 15 overs, beating his previous best of 6/47. Morkel removed Pietersen (5) and de Villiers (duck) in the one over, or rather, in the space of 3 balls.
It's fortunate Morne Morkel wasn't the bowler to get the wicket of Morne van Wyk, or the similarities between all these names would have started getting even creepier. As it already is.
Reports have confirmed Morne snuck off the field to call AB de Villiers from a payphone and laugh manically, breathing heavily down the line, in an attempt to scare AB into dropping out of cricket altogether. I am not sure how well the plan has worked, as AB is still running around fielding impossible balls like a creepy robot:
