CAPE TOWN: South Africa’s shock Test series defeat against Sri Lanka came as a major jolt to a team which had become accustomed to dominating Test matches at home. Successive series wins against India, Australia and Pakistan were achieved when moderate totals proved enough because of South Africa’s bowling firepower. The Sri Lanka series has also put the spotlight on some of South Africa’s ageing players. He will be 36 when South Africa play their next Test series in India in September and there has been speculation that retirement is imminent. Elgar scored only 169 runs in ten innings during the summer against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
