South Africa vs Australia 2nd Test: Day 1 Review | 'Rain Saves South Africa from Boland'
Rain interrupted the second Test between Australia and South Africa at St George’s Park, with just 12.2 overs possible on Day 1. But there was still plenty to discuss, as Scott Boland ripped through the South African top order, taking two wickets in consecutive deliveries to leave the hosts at 2/20. Menners looks at Boland’s remarkable impact, Australia’s big decision to leave Nathan Lyon out of the XI, and what it could mean for Lyon’s future in the Test side. With Kagiso Rabada back in South Africa’s attack and more rain forecast, there’s plenty to watch as the Test continues.
