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

#2 Silencing David Warner and Steven Smith

Will SA be able to stop this deadly duo?

It is well known now that Aussies do not boast of great batting depth. But what they have up front are two dynamic players in Warner and Smith who are pretty capable of making up for any deficiencies in the rest of the line-up.

While the Proteas failed to control a rampant Warner in the first innings, a spectacular fielding effort from Bavuma came to their rescue in the second innings. Warner will be up for it this time and the Proteas need some sure shot plans against this Sehwag-style opener.

Smith was silenced in Perth by some disciplined bowling and the same has to be maintained at Hobart if the Proteas are to have a quick dig at the lower middle order. They do not want Steven Smith to join the Warner party as the duo can cause a lot of damage batting together.
