Former South Africa fast bowler Morne Morkel believes that the Proteas will pose a real challenge to Australia in their tour to down under later this year.
In recent times, South Africa has been a force to reckon with in the Test arena. The Proteas are sitting on the top of the World Test Championship 2021-23 points table with 5 wins in 7 matches. The Dean Elgar-led side is yet to lose a game in this cycle of the WTC.
Since South Africa's readmission in international cricket, no other visiting team has a better winning ratio in Tests played in Australia. The Proteas have accounted for six wins from 21 Tests played here (28.6 percent) with next-best being India's six victories from 27 games (22.2 percent).
