Temba Bavuma speaks on expectations ahead of Australia Tests

Speaking before the series, Bavuma said, “Every nation that steps onto our turf will want to prove they can beat the number‑one team. The pressure is real, but it’s the kind of pressure that pushes us to deliver.” He added that the Proteas have done the fundamental work in the camp and that the standards set after winning the championship will guide their approach. “We know what we want to achieve, and we’ll look to improve on the benchmarks we set for ourselves,” he asserted.
