1st Test - Australia v South Africa: Day 1
De Kock's form will worry the Proteas in a bowler heavy line-up

South Africa will be forced to rethink their combinations for the upcoming Australian Tests if Quinton de Kock continues to remain tentative against the moving ball. The diminutive wicket-keeper batsman hasn't been at his best this series with the Indian seamers managing to best him with seam movement outside the off-stump.

While counter-attacking has been the way to go this series, on a pretty tough batting track, De Kock failed to show the temperament needed to survive and before long inside edged Bumrah through to Parthiv Patel much like he did at Centurion. The southpaw has been in worrisome form and in a batting line-up that does not go beyond 6, his form will concern the Proteas think-tank.
