Rilee Rossouw, one of the few batsmen to master the conditions in Friday’s loss, hopes the batsmen will take good learning from the loss and put it into execution against Australia.
“It was really tough,” he said of his innings of 61 off 83 balls. “We expected a bit of a sub-continent surface and that is exactly what we got. It was difficult to hit the ball off the square and to rotate the strike. Myself and AB (De Villiers) needed to find a way to build the partnership without any high risk shots. We have a fairly good idea of how the surface will play so hopefully the guys will settle in and make a big play for us tomorrow.”
