South Africa vs Sri Lanka 2016/17: 5 ways visitors can get a consolation win at the Bullring

#4 Angelo Mathews needs to come to the party

The all-rounder has a pretty good record against the Proteas in all conditions

Mathews has struggled with bat and ball in this series after returning from injury. Given that he is the skipper of the side and the most experienced batsman in the line-up, he needs to put a price on his wicket.

He has been loose with the willow despite getting starts. The all-rounder has a pretty good record against the Proteas in all conditions but has failed to marry consistency on this tour. He needs to carry on from his starts and get a big score to put less pressure on a fairly new looking middle order.

The skipper has also lost considerable pace with the ball and coming in as a first change bowler with that kind of trait, it is difficult to contain the Proteas batsmen. He should leave the bowling duties to his primary four bowlers and act as a holding bowler with intermittent spells alone.
