Justin Sammons Expresses Faith In Proteas' Bounce-back Ability Ahead Of Boxing Day Test Against Australia

By IANS News December 23, 2022 • 20:10 PM View: 691

Proteas batting coach Justin Sammons has no doubt that South Africa can hit back and challenge Australia for series honours when the two teams lock horns in the Boxing Day Test, starting here on Monday.

The tourists lost a low-scoring opener inside two days at The Gabba in Brisbane last week, going 1-0 down in the three-match series. It is not an unfamiliar position for South Africa to be in after going behind in recent series' against India and New Zealand, whilst also having to endure losing starts over the years against the Australians, before hitting back.
