South Africa vs Australia 1st Test Day 1: Live score and updates from Durban

12:51 IST:

Let’s hear from the other camp – Alex Carey says that the build-up has been good, and they also played an ODI here in Durban a few days ago, and he’s excited for this Test series. He then talks about the pitch, saying that it looks good, and he generally tries to stay positive with regard to the pitch, and hopes that there are runs in this deck. On the changes in the teams, Carey says that with Cameron Green being out with an injury, it changes things, and it’s been 10 years since Nic Maddison has played and he’s matured in those years, and fingers crossed that those coming into the team will have a positive impact. Carey goes on to talk a bit more about Nic, and mentions that it’s all about what you do when life throws curveballs at you, and he has massive respect for Nic, and it’s no surprise that he’s in the baggy green. Carey ends by saying that it’s an early start and everyone was excited to be on the early bus, apart from Nathan Lyon, and hopes that it shapes up to be a fantastic series.
