Mustafizur definitely bowls left-arm seam. My analysis is not the best but I have noticed this.

I might have figured out how Riggins does it.

Nah you clearly haven't been watching the games closely enough. Mustafizur is just an elaborate con.

It's a bit of a running joke now that he's just yet another bangladeshi left arm spinner because of all the cutters he bowls

Jubair should come good when he gathers a bit more experience. Soon I think we will regularly see the bowling attack featuring Mustafiz, Taskin, AlAmin, Shakib and Jubair. Its an upgrade on what we have fielded in past.

The biggest issue with this is that the tail would be a number ten and then three number elevens, unless one of those guys has hidden batting talent I'm not aware of. It's a really big step down in lower order vitality from the status quo of a batsman at eight and then a spinner who is useful with the bat like Taijul or Sohag at nine, which could be a big problem with Mushfiqur batting so low for workload reasons.

True this will be a long tail but there is no one atm who is knocking as a good enough bowler and hold the bat. I wish Hom could bowl because he is a decent batsman for no. 8. Only player that comes to my mind who can truly fit no. 8 is Abul. He needs to raise the bar in bowling significantly.

Despite our tepid showing in the ODIs I think we should still take the Tests.
Reeza Hendricks will probably debut - not sure he's Test quality thought to be honest.
Don't think there'll be too many surprises in the Test XI for SA.
Side will probably be:
elagr
Hendricks
Du Plessis
Amla
Duminy
Van Zyl
Bavuma
Harmer
Philander
Steyn
Morkel
Think Rabada may possibly get a go before Philander.

Just checked Duminy played a test almost a year ago. Without Abdv, no 5 spot will be interesting.

Duminy will play, he was injured if I recall correctly.
Bavuma is the guy most likely to miss out.

His spin might come handy in CTG

So Steyn is all set for becoming the fastest to reach 400 wickets. Who will be his 400th scalp? Probably Liton.

He'll probably go wicketless and be smashed for 5 rpo.

SA batting first winning the toss. Mustafiz on debut
