#4 Role of Adam Voges

The 37-year-old will be a vital player in the Aussie batting

Adam Voges is a vital link at no.5 between the Aussie middle order and their lower order. The lower order comprising Mitchell Marsh and Peter Nevill will definitely be a target for the South African pace bowlers. This is where Voges will play a huge role in guiding the lower middle order.

He is a terrific batsman with a good record in Test cricket, despite faring poorly in Lanka, like most of his team mates. His record at home is terrific and Aussies will be hoping that he continues the trend in this series.

Once the likes of Warner and Smith are back in the hut, Voges is the key man for Aussies. He has to stand between the Proteas and the lower order if Australia need to put up a huge score.
