Saffies were warned for scrubbing the ball in the first test as well, Faf would want to be careful.

He needs a chest guard

Need grit and toughness in the middle order though. Wade does provide that. Might be one time to go with the better batsman. While not always the best way, the way we collapse it may be the way to go this time.

Gilchrist wasn't the greatest keeper ever either.

True, and I'm not overly worried about Wade's keeping as such. I think his preparedness to get in the grill of the opposition, plus more than competent batting at no.6 or 7, is what we need. I'd be playing him in the 3rd Test to shake things up, along with Handscomb and Stoinis.

Sounds like Burns carked it bad today, so can't see him getting a gig... he has technical issues to sort out.

Would play Faulkner ahead of Stoinis any day of the week personally......
Finals, then 4 in a row!

What we need are selectors who will pick the best team for every Test.  Forget about picking blokes who may do OK in the next tour of England or India; win the next Test  >Sad
