Dean Elgar banks on shaken South Africa bouncing back in must-win second Test against New Zealand
South Africa captain Dean Elgar admitted on Thursday his side's confidence had taken a hit after their first Test humiliation against New Zealand, but backed his side to improve in the must-win second Test. Elgar's men are in danger of becoming the first South Africa team to lose a series to New Zealand when the second and final Test begins on Friday at Christchurch's Hagley Oval. The Proteas suffered an innings and 276-run thrashing in the first Test on the same ground last week, which was all over in the first session of the third day.
