Pretoria - It’s early days yet, but the Proteas’ six-wicket ambush of Australia at Centurion on Friday night gave a glimpse of the South African side’s future.
Forget that it was Australia (albeit an understrength Australia) and forget that 295 to win was chased down with 13.4 overs to spare.
The emphatic win gave answers to tricky questions, like who takes over the run-scoring mantle if both Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers are missing and what happens when Kagiso Rabada dares not to be perfect for an outing.
