Rabada Returns as S.Africa Seek to Bounce Back Against Australia
- On Sunday, fast bowler Kagiso Rabada returns for the 2nd Test against Australia at St George's Park, as South Africa seeks to recover from a 214-run defeat in the Durban opener.
- Recovering from a hamstring injury, Rabada charged in at full speed for 45 minutes at Gqeberha on Thursday, earning the "Rolls Royce" label from Proteas coach Shurki Conrad.
- The Proteas will introduce Matthew Breetzke and Marques Ackerman to their re-jigged batting lineup, replacing Kyle Verreynne and Charlie Stubbs.
- Australia's assistant coach Matt Wade cautioned that the bowling attack will be more dangerous with Rabada, saying, "He takes it to the opposition, he'll keep coming for the whole Test match."
- Potential rain on the first two days has forced captains Temba Bavuma and Pat Cummins to delay finalizing teams until Sunday, while Australia remains without Cameron Green due to an abdominal strain.
