Faf du Plessis

South Africa were not entirely sure what to expect of a hard yet brown Centurion pitch but skipper Faf du Plessis was confident his team had the firepower to make things happen. "It looks a bit browner than I thought. The information from the groundsman is that the grass on the wicket has been burnt from the heat over the last week. It was very hot. We've asked for pace and bounce, so hopefully we will get that," he said.
