Standard Bank Proteas captain, Faf du Plessis, says he takes pride in the character and fight shown by his players in the 118-run loss to Australia in the first Sunfoil Test match at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on Monday. The Proteas fought back with both bat and ball in the second innings to take the thrilling match into the fifth day, an effort the captain has praised after a below-par performance in the first innings. Du Plessis described the loss as ‘disappointing’, but believes the squad will take key learnings from the experience into the second Test match starting at St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth on Friday.
The performances from the inexperienced and younger batsman was the standout highlight from the defeat, particularly the maturity and mental aptitude shown by opener, Aiden Markram. Du Plessis believes Markram’s career-best performance will fuel him with confidence and belief for the remainder of the series.
