Dream Team No. 1

• Batsman – S Smith, M Lambuschagne, D Elgar, T Bavuma
• Wicket-Keeper – K Verreynne
• All-Rounders – K Maharaj, M Jansen
• Bowlers – P Cummins, K Rabada, N Lyon, L Ngidi
• Captain – K Rabada
• Vice-Captain – M Jansen
• Combination – 5(AUS):6(SA)

Reason: Melbourne pitch is a very bouncy pitch that’s why we make Kagiso Rabada, captain, and M Jansen, vice-captain. Kagiso Rabada was the leading wicket-takers in the 1st test match. This pitch will suit Rabada very much and also M Jansen because he is a very tall guy and can easily make batsman trouble with his bouncer. He can trouble right-handed batsmen like Steve Smith and M Lambuschagne with his in-swing bowl.

• Batsman – S Smith, M Lambuschagne, D Elgar, T Bavuma
• Wicket-Keeper – A Carey

• Bowlers – P Cummins, K Rabada, A Nortje, L Ngidi
• Captain – M Lambuschagne
• Vice-Captain – A Nortje
• Combination – 4(AUS):7(SA)

Reason: We make M Lambuschagne, the captain because his record is very good in this stadium if we saw his last 2 years’ performance both internationally and domestically. And we make vice-captain, A Nortje because this pitch will suit him. His fast bowling of around 145+ kph can trouble Australian batsmen. He can be very dangerous with new balls.
