South Africa vs Australia, 1st Test: When and where to watch, coverage on TV and live streaming

South Africa have not asked for quick pitches to be prepared for their four-test series against Australia, which starts in Durban on Thursday after the ploy backfired just over a month ago, captain Faf du Plessis said on Wednesday. “I learnt my lesson,” Du Plessis told a news conference after his call for groundsmen to prepare pacey wickets in the three-test series against India in January saw South Africa lose by 63 runs in the last test at The Wanderers.

There’s nothing different that we are expecting. We both will play on what we get. We’ve not asked for anything specific.” The wicket for the opening test at Kingsmead is expected to be slow.
