hope not, I thought they went for Tsotobe?
Pretty sure Tsotsobe and Zondeki are in the squad. Trying to find it on cricinfo just now.

edit: South Africa squad: Neil McKenzie, Graeme Smith (capt), Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, Ashwell Prince, AB de Villiers, Mark Boucher (wk), JP Duminy, Paul Harris, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe and Monde Zondeki.

Well, Arthur says that he DONT prefer to play a game without a spinner! There is a chance that they will play JP! If no JP then it will be Robbie P.

If the wicket is grassy then Monde 'Unfit' Zondeki will play...ughhhhhh! Tsotsobe would have been a lot better choice!

Wouldn't Surprise me to see a 2 day Test (If we're sent in), gonna be up to the pacers to make this semi-competitive. A good opening spell from Mortaza and Hossian could give alot of life into the team.

FFS, how on earth is Kayes better than Rqqibul? Dire, dire selection.

EDIT: Raqibul's actually playing, but Naeem >>>>>>> Kayes as well.

Some commentator said on radio sport that they thought Shakib was the best left arm spinner in the world.

Yep
Shakib > Vettori

Gun bowler don't quite agree though.

Kerry O'Keefe suggested the same thing; couldn't believe what I was hearing.

He's returned some pretty decent figures recently and he's an intelligent bowler but he really has nothing on Vettori at this stage - and I'm not even a huge fan of Vettori the bowler. You only need to watch the guy bowl a few overs to see that.

Think it may have been Skull actually.

I think he mentioned it was cos of how he used his arm better than Vettori, getting 14.8 degree flex as opposed to Vettori's 0.

Yeah, that's what he was saying on the ABC. Did RadioSport take ABC's coverage of the first Test? Was on Saturday IIRC.
