Australia ‘in trouble’ ahead of Test series against Proteas, says Allan Donald
The two sides will meet in the five-day format for the first time since South Africa beat Australia in the World Test Championship final at Lord's last year.
Former Proteas fast bowler Allan Donald has expressed concern over Australia's performance ahead of their upcoming Test series against South Africa. After a recent shock defeat to Bangladesh, Australia are facing pressure despite being the top-ranked team in the world. The Proteas have only lost one of their last 15 Tests, and even beat Australia in the World Test Championship final last year.
Although Australia remains ahead in the rankings, they have lost three of their last 11 Tests to the Proteas, England, and especially Bangladesh. Australian fans are reportedly frustrated, with Donald describing their batting lineup as struggling for form. However, Donald remains optimistic about the quality of Australia's bowlers, including Starc, Hazlewood, and Cummins, and looks forward to a thrilling series between the world's top two sides.
