Proper captains knock that from elgar...
3 changes for SCG.
lance morris given SCG debut: New years test. Hope the wicket is a bit more in it than MCG.
Boland set to be rested after likely a long stint in 2nd test(flat wicket) , Hazlewood will return on home turf.
If its a spinning deck- Swepson will likely play - been a long time since a leg spinner has bowled at the SCG. If its a seaming track- Neser or Hardie will play in place of Green.

To be fair, I think he genuinely does deserve extra points for being quite good in home conditions where many players struggle.
But those extra points bring his total rating up to [not many points].
hes really poor. career average of only 38 for a veteran.

No I think he has performed around his talent level in Tests. I never viewed him as a 50-ish averaging batsman,but us SA fans hoped he could bump up that average to about 45-ish over the last few years. He hasn't. Still been a useful servant to the Proteas but he has always been supporting cast and never the main actor
There just aren't many openers consistently hitting 40+ who aren't flat track bullies at home. Elgar bats in pretty challenging conditions at home and still averages mid 40s there. His away record is reasonable (are there any openers going above 30 away?) too. He's a decent enough opener in an era of few good ones.

Yeah but the answer to this is obviously to relieve him of captaincy, not to drop him outright.

Yeah that would be fine imo. But they would just slap the captaincy on Bavuma and he would clock a 100 Tests without scoring another ton.
