LIVE COVERAGE - Boxing Day Test day three: Head, Carey aim to bat Australia to winning lead as Green fractures finger
Travis Head has made his 50 and gone out the next ball.
Cameron Green won’t bowl again in this Test, while Mitchell Starc is carrying a finger injury, meaning the Aussies will have just Pat Cummins, Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon as fully-fit bowlers to help them take 10 wickets.Warner said the Aussies would need to keep batting and put as many runs on the board as possible, meaning he’s prepared to return to the crease after retiring hurt on 200 on Tuesday.
“With these conditions as it is, the ball is 10 or 11 overs old, if we get the ball into the outfield and put as many runs on the board as we can with potentially two bowlers down, it’s going to be very important to put as many runs on the board [as possible].” He will be able to bat again in this game but not bowl, complicating Australia’s push for victory against South Africa.Australia’s attack has already been hit by an injury to Mitchell Starc, who can bowl in the second innings despite tendon damage to the middle finger on his bowling hand.
