If they drop MOrkel, it will be a disaster. Morkel is one of the best in the world. He troubles India in particular more.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Kaptaan Kohli might get new "innovative" and "brilliant" ideas like getting Rohit or Hahane to open.  

[Laaloo]

That's a strong team but let's see hoping for the best.

Because he will playing plus ABDV also keep wicket but he told SOA, 'I am too old to do, DBL duty'

 

I bet SOA beat India 3/0.Our batting and poor spin combination will be our major problem because BCCI should awares that no country pre-pare wicket for Indian spinner.SOA even announces to starts the game 30 minutes early than before to traps Indian on track with moisture.

India will wakes up after first test anyway without  match practice- wadekar says.he added India do not need t20i vs SL but we need to go SOA 12/14 days before first test.

At home you can easily arrange for a keeper, unlike in India. We don't take cover for Saha when we play at home all the time, because we know Rahul can keep in test for time being in the middle of the test and once that test is over we can easily arrange another full time keeper for Saha incase needed as its easy to fly in someone within India. ABD can temporarily keep within the game and if De Kock not fit for next test then they can always ask for another keeper in the middle of the series.

[bowl_out]

Very tough for SA to choose their quicks.. Steyn, Morkel, Philander, Rabada, Morris.. one hulluva pace attack..

 

Unlikely that they’ll play all 5 quicks.. Maharaj will come in place of one of them, Philander maybe. Three quicks + Maharaj + Morris as the All rounder

 

Likely XI:

Elgar/Markram, Amla, Ab, Faf, Bavuma, De Kock, Morris, Maharaj, Rabada, Morkel, Steyn 

[adi B]

This is a super strong saf team if everyone's in form ,hoping they are not though and I do believe a couple of them will struggle.

Morkel,philander,de kock and abdv are gonna be the key players 

[Rasgulla]

All this Rahul hype same people ll turn on him when he flops against new ball..

[Shy9]

No way Rohit and Rahane open in test in Southsfrica.Rohit only wants at number 5.no way you can slog in test cricket too early, if I have to selects team I can selects 3 specialist opener in Southafrica /England tests than my regular Pujara/Kohli/rahane
