Malibongwe Maketa In Upbeat Mood As South Africa's First Test Against Australia Looms

By IANS News December 15, 2022 • 20:46 PM View: 724

Interim South Africa men's head coach Malibongwe Maketa has no doubt that the Proteas are heading in the right direction as they build towards the first Test against Australia in Brisbane over the weekend.

The tourists drew their only warm-up fixture -- a four-day encounter against a Cricket Australia XI played at The Allan Border Field in Brisbane -- with most of their batters enjoying some much-needed time in the middle.
