Proteas captain Dean Elgar is confident the right decision will be made at the toss and in the selection of the final XI when SA take on England in the series-deciding third Test at the Oval in London starting on Thursday.
The dogged left-hander said their team selection in the previous two games was based on the conditions and it would be no different this time.
“We have covered all our bases with regards to our bowling department, whether we go in with four seamers and a spinner or three seamers and two spinners,” he said. “Knowing the Oval, it is a generally good cricket wicket. The weather may be more in favour of the bowlers, meaning it could be tough to bat, but if the sun is out, it’s a really good place to play good, honest cricket.”“There is definitely going to be a winner in this Test — with the style of cricket [both teams] have been playing, there is definitely going to be a result.“We are going into this Test at 1-1 — it is pretty much like a World Cup final for us.
