The Proteas endured a miserable day in the outfield on day two of the third and final Test against Australia. Rain brought a premature end to the day's play with the hosts on 475/4.
JOHANNESBURG - The end of South Africa’s tour to Australia can’t come soon enough for Proteas supporters and likely for the players as well.
Opener Usman Khawaja and Smith were at the crease when play resumed on the second morning. After a slow start, the pair had little discomfort facing the SA bowling unit, treating the attack with disdain. They found freedom in their stroke-making as the day progressed, hitting the ball to all parts to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
Spinner Keshav Maharaj acknowledged that it had not been a good series but backed the Proteas batters to follow the example of Khawaja and Smith, who showed that a bit of application and patience could be rewarded on the Sydney Cricket Ground pitch when it was their turn to bat.
