So, fellow forumites...the atmosphere around here seems to be more than slightly deflated. A result of the battering we've taken in the series or hhm's absence to spice up debates or a combination of both?
I'm hoping there'll be a few changes in the squad. Williams in for Waller. Utseya for Cremer. Maybe we could do with Bobby's experience if we are to make a match out of this.

Sticking Utseya in for Cremer may be a smart move. The pitch is set to take spin anyway so with Utseya just putting the ball in the right place should be good enough seeing as Cremer seemed unable to do even that last test
Williams for Waller I think this test. Williams is a superior batsman and have been unimpressed in the manner that waller got out last test particularly the 2nd innings when he should have simply let the ball hit his body.
If regis is not fit then stick Maruma in at number 7. Sure he will do a good a job as Regis on the batting stakes if not better

If it is such a predominantly spinning pitch as reports are saying, then would the thought of having Hami share the new ball with Jarvis and play 3 spinners cross the mind?
Maruma, if he gets in the team and bowls, might actually do well, if he can use the height to his advantage. What am I saying? But you never know...

Cremer should get another game. Same team except for Regis if his finger is broken. We chop and change too much, giving players games here and there. The bowling did fine. 11/320. Williams for Regis and the batting will be stronger. Cremer at 8 looks alright.

Will be nice to see Keegan meth Sean Williams bobby mpofu and @Craig_Ervine77 all play in test today! #goodlucktuskersboys
Is it his wish or is it the news? Not quite clear from the statement. But if it is true, it does not make sense to tinker with the side so much. Is it due to injuries? We'll know soon...
