My bet will be on Australia to win this series. Even though Aussie batting looks weak on paper, they'd be able to handle the SA attack. Also, Aussie pace trio won't be giving them easy runs like ours did. 

Nonetheless it would be a very interesting  series for cricket lovers. Always want Aus Vs Sa test series to more than 3 tests, exciting test cricket to witness.

Both India and africa have played poor cricket.specially batting. Just We have beaten them in mediocrity.  Aussie will be really tough for them..but they will need bowling unit without any injuries.

Aus team batting isn’t better than us though. Only Marsh and Smith scored runs in the Ashes during crucial part of the series.

 

Aus bowling is better than us but their batting lacks. Now they might perform better is another thing but currently their batting looks very weak to me and again it will be onto Smith to rescue them.

 

 

This Aus team isn’t as good. England made them look too good with 4-0 result. 

Smith 137.40

Marshall 74.17

Warner 63.00

Khawaja 47.00

Marsh 106.47

Paine 48.00

Cummins 41.50

 

Looks pretty decent averages to me that I would guess Indian players would love in a series

Hazlewood lacks bounce?

If he plays plays for Indian team

Wouldn't play for India,  Cummings better because he would open the batting as its been stated here India should reverse their batting order  to get results

I wish South Africa beat the Aussies, just to feel better about this loss.. ha ha.

 

i think our current attack is a little weaker  than the Aussie attack, but our batting is better. 

 

I expect South Africa to prepare flat pitches

Australia will win it.

I want Saf to do well and hope that Steyn is back to test Smith and co. 

 

Amla has actually found form back in the series so it won’t be as easy for Australia as it looks like.

Amla always finds form against us when we tour SA. Aussie bowlers will bounce him out with their vicious bouncers.

Aus have generally done well in SA.

2-1 Aus

Four test matches, he will surely score in there some where.

 

One can hate or not be fan of Amla, but he is a legend of the game and he will score surely.

Racial Quota policy is badly hurting SA , Aus will make mince meat of them

[Vilander]

Aus

Ind

SA

Eng

 

Thats the order

[saik]

Except Smith don't see any other Aussie batsman doing well on these type of pitches.

come on dude. Like of Amla and Rabada deserve their spot.

 

Not ideal but not badly hurting either.

[vvvslaxman]

First of all  Hazlewood/Cummins/Starc won't be getting fast pitches to bowl on. Most likely they will get roads where Australia will bulldoze these guys.

Yes they do and Amla was in team before quota , but players like Phelukwayo are just passengers

[nitinbwj]

AB,Amla and Faf are going to score big against Aus.

[Gollum]

Aus will win easily, Smith will have a big series yet again. Hazlewood will cause many problems for SA top order.
