Dean Elgar said : "We know we've got to try and throw a first punch. We didn't do that in the first test, it was almost like we waited for them to make a plan and then put ourselves under a lot of pressure with them scoring nearly 400 runs in their first innings," "Now we want to look to put them under pressure straight away. If we know if we put our best foot forward we can start to dictate the way the test goes"

Dean Elgar said : “Looking at the scores you would think the pitch is quite flat but it’s not; there’s been quite a lot of assistance on the last two days for the seamers which the scores don’t reflect,”

Dean Elgar said : “Bowlers can get carried away by the bounce and pace here, but those are not necessarily the right places to bowl. But if the bowlers stick to a fourth-stump line like Lutho Sipamla (16-1-76-4) did today then you will be rewarded. But batting with a straight bat will also bring reward,”

Dean Elgar said : “Aiden and I have been batting well domestically the last few months so it’s good to do it now at international level,” “There’s been a lot of hard work building up to this series and the team has spoken about aggression which we have maybe missed a bit. But you still have to be very calculated and I know myself I still have to earn the right to play that way”
