South Africa vs Australia, 2018- 5 Players to watch out for in the third Test

#2 Hashim Amla

Amla last scored a hundred against Australia in February 2014

The class and serenity of Amla at number 3 provides a perfect contrast to the dynamism and pugnacity of rest of the South African middle order. Amla's form has not been great against top quality sides since 2015.

He has averaged 36.10 with only 3 tons to his name against top test nations( against Australia, Sri Lanka, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and England) since 2015. In that same period, he also averages meagre 21.00 against the Australians. Amla has been not only susceptible early in his innings but also after crossing 50 runs.

A clear game plan against the Aussie pace attack and Lyon is required for Amla to end this prolonged trough in his career.
