The Second Test in Cape Town followed immediately. Australia made 542, and in South Africa's reply of 353 Lindsay made only 5; he was caught (and had to be carried from the field) when the ball ricocheted from his bat to his forehead and back to the bowler, David Renneberg. Following on, South Africa lost four wickets for 60 before Lindsay, with his head bandaged, made 81 off 134 balls, adding 119 with Lance to help the team reach 367. Australia then made 160 for 4 to win by six wickets and level the series. Lindsay took three catches in the match and conceded only two byes.
