Knowing Mark, VDD slots back in, and Jansen will play ahead of Harmer. It will be a shoot-out between Markram or Zondo for that additional batting spot and I feel like they'll play it safe by picking Sauce.
I like your selection of Ryan Rickleton. I think he is a match winner. I would still pick Rassie over Khaya Zondo for the 1st Test, if Rassie continues to struggle then make the change for the rest of the series
Bouch will look at Simon’s stats in English conditions against up and coming Jansen. Only situation Jansen might play ahead of Simon is if pitch doesn't assist spin.
My Xi

This is the only way to tame the Bazzball
You would bat Keshav at 7?
Yes....Keshav can hold a bat,if I remember correctly on our 2012 tour to England Vernon was batting at 7

Fair shout. I just reckon it’s between Rassie and Aiden at the moment. Zondo in for Temba and Ryan in for Rassie. Rassie vs Aiden vs Allrounder
Bouch plays it safe and goes with who he trusts, I believe the squad for first test will most likely be,
Sarel, Dean, KP, RVd, Ryan, Kyle, Simon, Keshav, KG, Ana, Lungi
I would personally like Aiden for Rassie though
You are right, Mark does play it safe and that could be the line up. Not sure about Simon though
