If I were to wager a bet, it would be on this happening plus a series win in the T20s (three matches) and ODIs (five matches), starting next week. I'm sure you'll get inviting odds on a rare Proteas' treble.
This week we focus on the four groups in the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. I like one of two teams to lift the coveted trophy - Ivory Coast or Algeria.
Group A
Burkina Faso: Ranked seven in Africa and 50 in the world. Will struggle to qualify from this group, despite being the highest-ranked team.
Cameroon: 13 and 65 with a great pedigree in this tournament, winning it four times, the last in Mali in 2002. Good qualifying chance to knockout stages.
Gabon: 34 and 110. Being the host nation is always an advantage and I like their chances of progressing.
Guinea-Bissau: 15 and 68. First time they have qualified for the Afcon finals and will be hard-pressed to make an impression here.
Group B
Algeria: 5 and 38. If any one of the North African giants can win this tournament, then my money is with Algeria. They have match-winners in their lineup and a solid team.
Senegal: 1 and 33. The top-ranked African team and one of the likely favourites to lift the trophy. But I'm not totally convinced that they are the real deal after watching them lose to Bafana in a recent World Cup qualifier. It would not surprise me if they failed at the first hurdle.
Tunisia: 3 and 35. The highest-ranked of the North African contingent but doubts whether they can do well in this tournament.
Zimbabwe: 29 and 102. This Southern African team could be the surprise package. They have top attacking players in Nyasha Mushekwi, Knowledge Musona and Khama Billiat and a solid midfield, but if there is a concern it's in defence.
Group C
DR Congo: 6 and 48. Highly rated and sure to give a good account of themselves - solid chance of reaching the final eight.
Ivory Coast: 2 and 34. With their new crop of superstars ready to defend the title they won in the last edition of this continental showpiece, they are definitely one of my personal favourites to reach the final.
Morocco: 10 and 57. I am not convinced that they have what it takes to do well in a competition outside of their territory.
Togo: 23 and 91. Big shock to see them qualify from this group.
Group D
Egypt: 4 and 36. The most successful nation in the cup's history, winning the tournament a record seven times - including when Egypt was known as the United Arab Republic from 1958 and 1971. Can they win it again? I'm not convinced, although I do think they will progress to the next stage.
Ghana: 9 and 53. Likely to emerge as one of the two qualifiers from this group, they do not have the quality of past Ghanaian teams, but they do have an astute coach in Avram Grant, the former Chelsea manager. Runners-up in 2015 and last won this title in 1982, one of four times they have lifted the trophy.
Mali: 11 and 60. Good on their day but might not be classy enough to progress beyond this stage.
Uganda: 18 and 72. Much-improved and surprised many on the road to qualification, but this is probably where their journey will end.
