If there was a draw, it wouldn’t cost Australia much in WTC terms: less than one percent on the ratio count, compared to an Australian win. But it could cost South Africa a lot, more like five percent versus a South African win. Not to mention that Australia won the last series between these sides, so if there’s a washout here, South Africa can’t win the series or take the trophy, such as it is. It still doesn’t have much of an identity, although hopefully it doesn’t end up being named after two randomly plucked players.

Later, once South Africa finally get to bowl, which may be Day 3 at this stage, we’ll have the return of Rabada. He was the main character at this ground eight years ago.
