Cook
Compton
Root
Taylor
Ballance
Stokes
Bairstow
Ali
Jordan
Broad
Anderson
I think that's what they will go.
Personally I would have Butler and Woakes instead of Bairstow and Jordan from that squad

Yes, it is a worry. Dennis Compton's 32 year old grandson, with an English father and Rhodesian mother and who has lived here for 19 years, playing for Middlesex for 15 of them, clearly has no connection to English cricket at all.

I think Ballance will perform much better back home in Africa with his back foot game.
His fat little legs were not made for facing Boult and Starc on English pitches but he can score quickly if he gets in.
I see a big workload for Anderson and Broad without Finn and Wood to support them.
SA are still a very good side with DeVilliers, Amla , Steyn and Morkel but obviously not as good as when they had Smith & Kallis as well. Hopefully the pitches are SPORTING

I hope they go with Footit. Left arm quick, provides a different angle to Broad and Anderson.
I'd go
Cook
Hales
Ballance
Root
Taylor
Stokes
Buttler
Ali
Broad
Anderson
Footitt

Footit batting below Anderson?

Bell hasn't been great for a while but when you're taking Ballance instead then something is seriously wrong

He was looking really promising the other Summer - he's definitely got talent. Plus he'll know how to play the pitches down there.

I wouldn't say Ballance has 'talent', as such, he just grinds runs out in the ugliest way I think I've ever seen. When the runs dried up, and it happened quickly, he looked like a fucking number 11 for Wanstead CC.
And he is NOT English.

He's Rhodesian, which is basically English. The talented motherfucker ;)

At least we've seen the back of the hapless Chris Jordan. Picked as a specialist fielder.

Once Footitt is picked that will solve the 3rd seamer issue*
