when they select the side v South africa. I strongly feel we need another pace in place of a spinner. There is an epic storm predicted tomorrow.

How does it make a difference ? A pacer will also find it tough to grip the ball. I would rather select a spinner against SA any day over a spinner. 3 spinners are a must.

We have options with Raina for a spinner. We only have two pacers.
Not really. Raina will have to bowl 2 overs anyway. 3 seamers on this wicket against SA is asking for trouble, wet ball or not.

I also feel Dhawan must play over Rahane we dont need stable starts, we need quick starts. Dhawan can provide that.

We have 1 pacer 2 spinners 1 pie thrower 2 part time pie throwers and 1 slow swing bowler..good mix imo.
Slow swing? He's been bowling at a pretty good pace since the NZ tour. @Topic Can't risk to include an extra pacer against a team like South Africa. A pacy bowler like Aaron on these wickets would be a massive mistake against someone like AB who would gobble him up and tatter his confidence in a matter of few deliveries. Duminy has been quiet good against pacers in the SC too. He took turns on the Sri Lankan seamers during SA tour there. We have to open with a spinner against DeKok, Ashwin being the ideal choice. What I don't like is the idea of bowling Jadeja in the deaths. Hasn't been turning it away from the batsman which he often does, rather he bowls lame darts.

Spinners find it more difficult as they use their fingers to give the ball rotation
