I was pretty surprised to see Morne Morkel and Kagiso Rabada’s
length in the morning. Both of them clocked around 140 plus, but speed is
useless if your length is not the ideal one. On a track which is offering
slow-and-low bounce from the word go, it’s pretty inappropriate to waste your
energy bowling too short with pace. A fuller length would have been good for
South Africa to script an early breakthrough.
Morkel did correct his length –
The Nagpur track is slow, low, dusty and cracked. Simon Harmer spit the ball viciously and surely, the Indian spinners are expected to extract a bit more as they are well aware of how to exploit this track. The South Africa start says it all. Jadeja and Ashwin are back in business as a testing second day awaiting for the Proteas batsmen.
Thank You
