Proteas Test skipper Dean Elgar admitted they need to get their batting books in order for their forthcoming Test series against Australia later this month. | Sport24news

Elgar and vice-captain Temba Bavuma are the only batters with Test experience in Australia, with Elgar having scored a 100 in Perth on the 2016 tour.

The Proteas have had a decent Test year despite a lack of 100s, but that caught up with them in the England series where the bowler-friendly conditions and England's experienced attack caught up with them.

"It's also general Test cricket and if the wickets are good, we really have to cash in. We haven't been good enough with the bat and that speaks for itself. "They're playing for South Africa and there are a lot of guys who want to play for South Africa who [are] champing at the bit and knocking hard on the door.
