WATCH: Proteas fans turn up with sandpaper banter – but Aussies silence vibe in Durban
Sun’s out, signs are up! Proteas fans packed the Kingsmead banks on Day 2 with sharp South African humour
On Day 2 of the Test match at Kingsmead in Durban, the atmosphere shifted from a lively crowd to a subdued one. As the sun broke through the gray morning, Proteas fans, armed with traditional witty banter and cardboard signs, filled the grass embankments and stands. However, their enthusiasm was short-lived as Australia's relentless bowling took its toll.
Matt Renshaw, in particular, proved to be a formidable force, grinding the South African attack for over three hours, despite the festive mood. The carnival spirit that had initially taken hold in the afternoon waned, replaced by the reality of a match that was firmly in Australia's favor by early close.
