You realize we not playing Morkel... we are playing Shamsi our wrist spinner as a more attacking option than Maharaj the more holding option....

But he'll provide good chatter behind the stumps.

Khawaja in slip. Why do I not have a good feeling about that?

The Australians struggled to pick him in the ODI series but a lot of batsman do for that matter. May be young but certainly been around the block although you are a bit worried how quickly a young wrist-spinner can settle. Also , the fact that this will be his only test for quite a while after this too. But in saying that, he is quite an abrasive sort who likes a challenge.
First Parktown Boy to play test cricket since isolation I reckon. More of a rugby school although Wayne Ferreira (tennis) and Bradley Carnell (football) went there. Previous Protea/Springbok cricketers from Parktown Boys : David Ironside, Ronnie Grieveson & Bob Newson.
But I suppose when you have these cricketing schools to compete with :
KES (Paul Winslow, Ali Bacher, Kevin McKenzie, Ray Jennings, Hugh Page, Adam Bacher, Neil McKenzie, Graeme Smith, Stephen Cook, Quinton de Kock)
St Stithians (Roy Pienaar, David Terbrugge, Kagiso Rabada, Wiaan Mulder, Grant Elliott, Michael Lumb)
St Johns (Bruce Mitchell, Russell Endean, Clive Rice)
Jeppe Boys (More so in the old days with Jock Cameron, Norman Gordon, Bob Catterall, Cyril Vincent, Athol & Eric Rowan & probably the biggest Neil Adcock)
St Davids (Temba Bavuma)

Was that the official justification? Or are they just giving him a go in a dead rubber? Could have used Maharaj's extra batting tbh.

I kept hearing that, given the seam on the pink ball being hard to pick up, that he was causing all sorts of problems in the nets.
