JOHANNESBURG:-A century by Faf du Plessis and a first session in the middle for wicketkeeper AB de Villiers since hand surgery has left South Africa satisfied with preparations for the Test series against Australia. South Africa, who host a buoyant Australian side fresh from their Ashes triumph in a three-Test series starting on Wednesday, drew with a Rest of South Africa XI and coach Russell Domingo said his squad achieved more than they expected. "We are happy with some of the batting, obviously," Domingo said in a Cricket South Africa statement. –Reuters
