Proteas captain Dean Elgar knows what it takes to win a Test series in Australia, but the opening batter is not reading too much into past successes.
“We've had a pretty good record of late [in Australia] — I have experienced two tours here in the past, and they have ended quite well for us,” the left-hander said in his arrival press conference on Monday. “Australia is a good place to play Test cricket — I feel it is very balanced between bat and ball. Conditions are something we will weigh up when we get to the venues, but in general they are good conditions for Test cricket.”
“That period has long lapsed, and we move forward as a group after that. The history between SA and Australia is so rich;we both want to go out and win and play a brand of cricket our countries are proud of.
