Another day, another torturous batting display from the Proteas, who are struggling to avoid the follow-on in the final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
He averaged 28.85 in 11 Tests and while his unbeaten 96*, which won the second Test against India was one of the great performances by a South African batter, he hasn’t come close to matching that effort in the two biggest series South Africa played — against England and now Australia.
Admittedly it was a good nut from the impressive Josh Hazlewood, who is playing his first Test of the series, but for a player of Elgar’s experience it was a hideous conclusion and wasn’t helpful for his teammates watching from the dressingroom either, who are lacking confidence.
