'He'll Be in Our Face': Australia Brace for Rabada's Return

South Africa’s pace attack is set to sharpen significantly for the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha, with Kagiso Rabada poised to return after missing the first match due to a hamstring injury. The Proteas’ leading fast bowler, known for his relentless aggression and ability to bowl short, attacking spells, will rejoin Anrich Nortje to create a more versatile and intimidating bowling unit.

Australia’s assistant coach, Matthew Wade, warned that Rabada’s return will make the South African attack far more dangerous, emphasizing his competitiveness and relentless pressure throughout the match. Meanwhile, Cameron Green remains sidelined for the second Test after an abdominal strain, potentially pushing Nic Maddinson back into the opening slot, while Australia’s batting order continues to adapt despite calls for more consistency from former captain Steve Waugh.
