9.33am So, confirmation of those teams, including two South Africa debutants in Rassie van der Dussen and Dwaine Pretorius. And back comes Jonny Bairstow, in place of the indisposed Ollie Pope. Beware of a man with a point to prove.

 

South Africa: 1 Dean Elgar, 2 Aiden Markram, 3 Zubayr Hamza, 4 Faf du Plessis (capt), 5 Rassie van der Dussen, 6 Quinton de Kock (wk), 7 Dwaine Pretorius, 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Keshav Maharaj, 10 Kagiso Rabada, 11 Anrich Nortje

 

England: 1 Rory Burns, 2 Dom Sibley, 3 Joe Denly, 4 Joe Root (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Sam Curran, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 James Anderson, 11 Stuart Broad

111/5 to 277/9 .If they are all out 140-150 match was over .It is so important to find bowlers who are okay with bat too, that does mean load up the team with bits and pieces players. They do  need to  have some sort of ability with bat,that has been the downfall for India in  both their two tours of SA and England.

Yeah bro. Quinton was the main man. Philander can always bat. He has like 8 test 50s or something. Don't know much about Pretorius until today.

When India play at home Ashwin and Jadeja provide that buffer while being very potent with ball along with odd cameos from fast bowlers.That is why India is almost unbeatable at home these days and I don't think any team in history (1980s WI or 2000s Aussies) will beat this Indian team at home in a series.They have all bases covered.
