South Africa 'Salivating' At Playing Australia, Says Captain Dean Elgar

By AFP News December 16, 2022 • 12:22 PM View: 670

South Africa captain Dean Elgar on Friday said his team was "salivating" at the prospect of facing Australia and conceded there could be "feisty" moments in their first Test series since the "Sandpaper-gate" scandal.

The two sides pad up on Saturday in Brisbane for the first time since the infamous 2018 cheating row in which Australia attempted to alter the ball using sandpaper in Cape Town.
