They have played right into our hands. When was the last time Australia lost on a slow, lifeless wicket? (im not talking slow turners) We really do excel at that type of game, our bowlers squeeze the life out of the opposition and our batsman, well Steve Smith is happy to grind away for days.
Reckon SA have to take a punt and prepare wickets with plenty of life in them. They cant beat us on these decks, it is what Australian decks have become.
Spot on Daisy. SA played right into australias hand here as there bowling is almost suited to these pitches. It is truly a special bowling line up. The best way to beat australia is greener tracks where the aussies struggle batting wise because you cant outbowl them on these surfaces. SA went in way to negative as always and they will get demolished all series if they keep producing slow wickets.
