Mr. Glass
I kinda feel Ashwin will do well here with the ball. Hopefully Virat does not galaxy brain him out of the side.
also kohli and most test captains don't know how to use 5 pacers if they pick 5

kohli will still bowl bumrah for 7 over spells and not use some bowler at all

heck thakur didn't bowl much on the last day/second innings of the 1st test

5 pacers is almost always less than ideal but on a wicket suited for pacers it's beyond dumb.

I'd play Ashwin + 4 pacers anyway because firstly I don't actually trust Vihari to score any more runs than Ashwin + Ashwin could be really useful if inconsistent bounce comes into play or Thakur loses the plot completely.

Crucial game. Really want to see the pace quartet in action!

Bumrah
Shami
Siraj
Yadav (or Ishant)

SA will have their own quartet in action

Rabada
Olivier
Ngidi
Jansen

Exciting battle!
I know it won't happen but Chahar needs to be tried in tests as a bowling-allrounder. He is being wasted in white ball cricket and he won't go a long way in ODIs/T20s with his lack of death bowling skills. Can be useful in SENA I think.

I don't think pitch will as extreme like last time.. Joburg will get banned by ICC if they pull something like that again.. The previous 3 demerit points have validity till 2023..
Expect a Green seamer with plenty of bounce. Something like Optus Perth 2018 vs Aus
