The last time Australia faced South Africa in Port
Elizabeth, it was all about Dale Steyn. On a slow, low and abrasive surface, he
reversed the ball to gun down Australia. But this time around, the Proteas
won't have the services of him.
Even though, Kagiso Rabada and Vernon Philander are around,
but, whether they would be able to move the old ball like Steyn remains a moot
question. As a matter, the conditions at Port Elizabeth would aid Mitchell
Starc yet again to unleash his hell of a spell with the old red cherry.
In my opinion, slow, low and abrasive surfaces aren't the
ideal ones to challenge Australia. But I think they should've prepared surfaces
which aid movement off the seam and off the surface.
Australia do have problems while countering movements and
their meek surrender in Ashes 2015 in England and against South Africa at their
own backyard in 2016 give us the hint about it.
