Temba Bavuma is a very good batsman. He is a stylish and superb timer of the cricket ball. Some of his drives off the back foot were simply the product of pristine timing - just soft hands and the brilliant ability to pick the length early and maintain the balance well. While executing shots on the
onside, especially the cross-batted strokes, he has his own style - it seems that he chops the ball down or whatever. He is not only on sound the back foot, but leans onto the front foot with authority while flaying the ball through the covers. It was an entertaining knock and delighted the crowd. He is not a quota-cricketer anymore.
This Test match will be drawn until and unless any dramatic twist takes place. But such a possibility seems unlikely as because the nature of the track is such that it won’t allow any adventures to happen. But, this track has helped the Proteas to come out of their ugly lean patch, even though, such placid tracks are not good for Test cricket at all.
