Windies Vs South Africa 1St Test @centurion

[dalapathi]

JP Duminy is unlikely to feature in the series, which will mean an opportunity for Cobras No. 3 van Zyl. Hashim Amla said there was a "very good chance," van Zyl will debut in Centurion but that he probably would not bat in Duminy's No. 7 spot. That may mean a jump up to No.6, with wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock moving into the more traditional gloveman's position, or a radical decision to promote van Zyl to open ahead of the out-of-form Petersen. That would leave South Africa with six specialist batsmen and would allow them to play four seamers and a spinner. If van Zyl bats lower down and they make use of seven batsmen, the debate is whether to throw the full force of their pace pack against West Indies, or include a spinner to do a containing job.
South Africa (probable) 1 Alviro Petersen, 2 Dean Elgar, 3 Faf du Plessis, 4 Hashim Amla (capt), 5 AB de Villiers, 6 Stiaan van Zyl, 7 Quinton de Kock (wk), 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Kyle Abbott/Robin Peterson
West Indies' major concern is their batting because they are without Chris Gayle (back injury) and Darren Bravo (withdrew for personal reasons.) Devon Smith will make a return to the top two, while Leon Johnson will likely slot into the spot Bravo may have occupied at No.3. Like South Africa, West Indies are debating whether to field an all-pace attack or include their spinner, Sulieman Benn. Either way, left-armer Sheldon Cottrell seems certain to play after taking five-wickets in the warm-up game, perhaps ahead of Shannon Gabriel.
West Indies 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 Devon Smith, 3 Leon Johnson, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 7 Denesh Ramdin (capt & wk), 8 Jerome Taylor, 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Sulieman Benn/Shannon Gabriel
