The test matches between Australia and South Africa should be interesting. Although South Africa lost the ODI and T20 series against India, they did outplay India in the test matches. The first test match between South Africa and Australia is evenly placed. At the end of 80 overs, Australia are 234/5. They would have expected to be in a stronger position given that they won the toss and elected to bat, but Philander and Maharaj have bowled well.
