These were the important positives that we have learned from this series, as we now move on to the series with South Africa. Andre Collie said, “You’re not going to have great performances every day. But one thing you can really have some control over is going through your processes every day and giving yourself the best chance to perform.” The first test against South Africa will begin on August 7.
