I hope they play Moss and Hughes. Or Doolan and Hughes. Marsh would be a walking duck against any attack  now, he's done feck all to give me any confidence.
Would Bird be playing first test? Or would they go with Lyon? IDK.

SA's team combination should be interesting as well. Would they move Faf up the order at 4? Duminy seems like more of an "allrounder" (read - bits and pieces player) these days. And I have to say, he's a better spinner than Robbie P, from what I've seen. I hope they don't play bloody Kleinveldt in there - and I have no idea why the hell he's in instead of Abbott.
