Elgar expects spice, but no ill feelings towards Australia

Proteas captain Dean Elgar knows what it takes to win a Test series in Australia, but the opening batter is not reading too much into past successes.

Elgar will lead his side into three tough encounters, starting at The Gabba in Brisbane on December 17, before they head to the MCG in Melbourne for the Boxing Day Test then the final clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground starting on January 4.I have experienced two tours here in the past, and they have ended quite well for us,” the left-hander said at his arrival press conference.

“We do have quite a few guys here who have not played a series [in Australia] yet. It is a positive we can learn from and focus on. I feel it is very balanced between bat and ball. Conditions are something we will weigh up when we get to the venues, but in general they are good conditions for Test cricket.”
