South Africa have not beaten Australia in a home Test series since 1970; enduring a seven-series drought against them in that time (D2 L5).
None of the last 17 Tests played out between these sides in South Africa have ended in a draw; the last six encounters there have seen each nation claim three wins apiece.
Australia come to Kingsmead having registered back-to-back Test wins at the venue; in a man-of-the-match display, Phillip Hughes posted a century in both innings in the most recent encounter there (March 2009), only one Australian has managed it since in Test cricket (David Warner, 3 times).
Faf du Plessis has averaged 59.4 across his 15 Test innings versus Australia to date; of the 354 batsmen to record that many knocks against them, only four have managed a better rate.
Morne Morkel is six scalps away from becoming only the fifth bowler to record 300 Test wickets for the Proteas; he’s taken 52 scalps at an average of just 22.3 since the start of 2017.
