South Africa were thrashed by an innings and 182 runs in the Boxing Day Test in MCG. It is the second successive Test series loss after 1-2 defeat to England in August-September. Chappell believes the bowling attack can improve if the leadership of the team can be improved. He also believes Anrich Nortje is a better bet than Lungi Ngidi to be opening the bowler with Kagiso Rabada and picking wickets with the new ball. He thinks Keshav Maharaj should not be used as a containing bower. The third and final Test is at Sydney starting from January 4.
