COMPARE THE PAIR OF BATTING PERFORMANCES IN TOUGH CONDITIONS
HOBART (2ND TEST OF 2016-17 SERIES) * David Warner was the first wicket to fall. The vice-captain attempted to hammer a wide delivery from Vernon Philander for a boundary in the first over, with Ricky Ponting calling it "reckless". * Australia 5-17 after 12.5 overs. * Australia all out for 85 in 32.5 overs. * South Africa claimed an unassailable 2-0 series lead. * Rod Marsh resigned as chairman of selectors and five players were dropped from the XI.
PORT ELIZABETH (2ND TEST OF 2018 SERIES) * David Warner reined in his natural aggression and surviving a testing new-ball examination from Philander. Warner's first boundary came in the 15th over. * Australia 0-18 after 12.5 overs. * Australia 2-110 after 32.5 overs. * Australia are shooting for a 2-0 series lead. * Trevor Hohns hasn't recently had much to worry about. If it wasn't for Mitchell Starc's injury-enforced omission in Melbourne, Australia would have featured the same XI in five straight Tests.
