Proteas batsman Dean Elgar was questioned on the tough tour by reporters and in his response, the 32-year-old said it as a “challenging tour”.

@deanelgar just like his predecessors, Elgar is being a cry baby. If not for the pitch, it's the hotels now. Jesus Christ! Bloody Elgar talking as if he lives in upstate NY and not South Effin Africa. Get a life.
