Proteas Looking To Build On Their Impressive Test Record In Australia

The Proteas head into the against Australia as huge underdogs but will rely heavily on their impressive record in Tests on Australian soil. South Africa have won the last 3 Test series between these two sides in Australia and have not lost a Test series in the country since 2006. We look at their impressive record against the Aussies away from home in this format.

South Africa’s tour of Australia gets underway on Saturday with the first Test at the Gabba. Australia lead the World Test Championship standings with South Africa in second position.
