Australia vs South Africa 2016: 3rd Test Day 2 - 5 talking points

#3 Contrasting fortunes of two debutants

Maddinson fell to yorker by Rabada

Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson had contrasting fortunes on their debuts as the former compiled a good looking half-century while Maddinson was bowled off a peach by Rabada.

Handscomb survived a probing opening over from Philander, where he was beaten and then almost caught and bowled off his first two balls, to make a first Test fifty. His technique and grip is quite unusual but it seemed to favour his style of batting as he knocked around the spinners, in particular, with ease.

Maddinson, meanwhile, walking out at the dismissal of Handscomb, survived a few early scares but before he could get off the mark, was cleaned up by a searing inswinging yorker from Kagiso Rabada.
