TFG Fantasy Pundit: Expect plenty of bounce in Perth; experienced cricketers key in such demanding conditions

Overview 

Expect plenty of pace and bounce at the WACA. Pacers from both sides will have adequate purchase from the wicket. Spinners unlikely to have any effect. Weather too set to be fine for all five days. Remember, Australia have already named their playing 11 for tomorrow. 

Probable 11 

AUS- Warner, Khawaja, S Marsh, Smith, Voges, M Marsh, Nevill, Starc, Siddle, Lyon, Hazlewood

SA- Cook, Elgar, Amla, Faf du, Duminy, Bavuma, De Kock, Rabada, Steyn, Philander, Morkel 

Players who cannot be ignored 

Warner- Will open the innings for the Aussies and will be a threat to the Proteas pacers. He can run away with the game in a session. 

Smith- Will bat No.4 and should be the backbone of the Aussie batting. 

Amla- Arguably the best batsman for the visitors and given his record in Tests, it would be a folly to drop him. 

Steyn- Leader of the attack for South Africa and has tasted success before at the WACA.

Starc- Is back in the mix and can be quite unplayable if the WACA pitch misbehaves. 

TFG Pundit XI: 
Bat- Amla, Smith(VC), Warner(C), S Marsh, du Plessis 
Bowl- Steyn, Starc, Rabada, Siddle  
W/K- Nevill 
A/R- M Marsh

Happy Hunting!!!
