A more balanced side for these conditions , but SA's test to lose

[jusarrived]

Like they say even a broken clock is right twice a day , todays playing 11 is close to the best team they could have played inspite of 2 big goof ups in not playing Rahane and the playing Ishant over BK ( Not the topic of this thread ) . 

Five batsmen should be fine and with Partiv in for Saha and I expect even Rohit to find batting easy  , I wudnt be too worried about batting here . Ishant is a good pick for this pitch ( obviously not in place of BK ).

SA as expected have played it well , flatter pitch having a 1-0 lead which negates our bowling attack . 

 

This is Virats first real challenge imo, his on field captaincy will be tested . I would like to see the "brilliant test captain" that hes apparently show up and make a difference . 

I thot the last match was gifted to SA  .  I would bet on SA winning this one , they will easily bat us out of the match .

First session up , no wickets yet ...this is where all our captains struggled in the past . Can virat do something different ? This is the time to show your aggressiveness .
