Proteas Test captain Dean Elgar expressed confidence in himself in terms of taking the Test team forward despite their recent adverse results in the longest format.The Proteas may have drawn the third Test against Australia in Sydney on Sunday, but they still lost the series 2-0 after comprehensive defeats in Brisbane and Melbourne.
Elgar had a poor tour with the bat, with the Australian pacers finding different ways of strangling the ungainly southpaw down the leg side.
Elgar admitted that the pressure was going to be an issue, especially with his lack of runs, but he added that he enjoyed the pressure.

"The pressure will be off a little bit, but I enjoy the pressure.
If the scoring of runs was happening now, it would be easy to say yes."However, you have to go into a different phase of yourself to ask those questions, which I have.
