Marsh says it’s an early start and it’s tacky under the foot. Inglis in for Stoinis, Abbott for Hazlewood. Green back as well. Says it’s a good day to win a series for Australia. Pre-game message was to compete and trust our plans. Nothing too much of a concern apart from Heinrich Klaasen. Execution is most important.
Bavuma says they’d have liked to bowl. Says it’s a typical Wanderers wicket. Runs on the board is never a bad thing. Andile Phehlukwayo in, Rabada out. Temba in, Reeza out. The biggest thing to come out the team was character. Australia were on the front foot, we had to step up. We’ve talked about being bold and fearless, which we’ll try doing today. As long as we stick to our brand of cricket. stay internal, keep language positive, we’ll see more performances.
