Sam Ellard is joined by the former South Africa fast bowler Kyle Abbott and the former Surrey all-rounder Cameron Steel to look back at Day 1 of the first Test between South Africa and Australia at Kingsmead, with Australia ending the day on 187-6. They discuss if South Africa were too wasteful with the new ball, reflect on a remarkable personal comeback for Australia batter Nic Maddinson after his return to Test Cricket at the age of 34, and discuss a return to form for Marnus Labuschagne, with his 37 helping Australia recover from 24-2. They also discuss Anrich Nortje's first Test Match in 3 years, and debate who will be the happier of the two sides after the first day of the series.Hear live ball-by-ball commentary of the entire South Africa v Australia Test series on talkSPORT 2 and the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.Instagram: @talkSPORT_CricketYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9vsecLHNgTj-yoNumw63lQX: @Cricket_TS @SamEllard @CameronSteel44 @Kyle_Abbott87Hosts: Sam Ellard, Kyle Abbott and Cameron SteelProducer: Scott Taylor Hosted on Acast.
