First of all I welcome
Hashim Amla’s decision to resign as the captain of South Africa.
Captaincy was taking its toll on Amla’s batting and I always felt that he was actually not enjoying his role as captain. At the moment, he will be free from the burden of leading the side and concentrate more on his batting and let me tell you one thing, he is hungry for runs and the bowlers of the world should be very afraid of him. He will fetch plenty of runs this year.
The Cape Town Test burst into life as the South African bowlers kept on dismissing the English batsmen at a regular interval. All of a sudden the English were seen fighting for survival and to the astonishment of all, the final day didn’t prove to an unbearable
grubwork. Accumulation of cloud in the sky favored the swing pace bowlers and they started to strike gold.
Chris Morris and Morne Morkel bowled brilliantly and created a platform on which Dane Peidt capitalized. Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali dished out a resistance and ate up 22 overs. Rain and bad light brought an end to this Test match which transformed from a
smouldering one into an enthralling one.
Thank You
