Green Wicket in RSA - Pick 4 seamers?

Thoughts on that? My opinion is you always pick a team for 5 days of cricket, even though games seem to end in 4 days here.

On a green pitch if you think 4 seamers are necessary, chances are 3 can probably get it done.

India faced a similar conundrum in the 2nd test.

I think it was a risk to leave out Maharaj.

djdrastic prefers Maharaj to Steyn, and I tend to agree, though I was considering leaving out de Bruyn, and playing five bowlers - four seamers and Maharaj.

Philander can bat in the allrounder spot....
