Why Scott Boland’s axing doesn’t make sense
Selectors kept Marnus Labuschagne and recalled Nathan Lyon as Australia weighed pitch conditions, while Scott Boland was dropped despite 87 wickets in 20 Tests.
There is growing pressure on the Australian selectors as the Test team heads into a series-defining third and final Test against South Africa in Cape Town on Tuesday night.
The third and decisive Test of the series between South Africa and Australia began in Cape Town on October 27. Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bowl first. The team has made four changes. Steve Smith is not playing due to a neck problem, while Scott Boland has also been left out of the playing eleven.
