Five reasons why the Proteas have a huge upper hand in the final match of the series

#2 Rabada, Abbott and Philander

Rabada has been flying high for the Proteas

These three were outstanding in Hobart and Rabada and Philander ensured Steyn's injury in Perth did not affect their bowling. They have run through the Aussies in both Tests, with pace, accuracy and deadly seam movement.

Rabada has been pacy and accurate. Philander has shown why he is one of the world's best when there is movement off the pitch. Abbott stepped in for Steyn and grabbed a six-for in Hobart. Together they have hunted like a pack of wolves and Australia have had no answers so far.

In Adelaide, with the pink ball capable of swinging violently under lights, Rabada, Philander and Abbott will be more than a handful for the Aussies, who have failed to negotiate seam, swing and bounce.
