Australia vs South Africa 2016: 5 things South Africa should do to come out on top in the second Test

#3 Fill the Steyn-shaped void

Dale Steyn has been ruled out of the series due to injury

This is a tough one. To replace one of the best fast bowlers in the history of cricket is no easy task but South Africa managed to make up for his loss in Perth courtesy Rabada and Philander. While the duo will be tired given the number of overs they sent down a few days back, they will have to pitch in again.

Obviously, one of Kyle Abbott and Morne Morkel or sometimes even both could cover up for Steyn. Abbott is a good bowler but the presence of world class bowlers in the Proteas line-up has meant that the 29-year-old had to be sidelined on most occasions.

Abbott seems to be the right guy to come in for Steyn at this point in time given his similarities to Steyn's style of bowling and Morne's injury. Whoever comes in, replacing Steyn will be tough but they can always look to make a mark for themselves by giving their best.
