A consolation win seems to be knocking at the door for the
South Africans. Kagiso Rabada and Morne Morkel have jolted the English top
order and the moment, it seems that the determination of the English team has
taken a holiday as soon as the series was sealed in Johannesburg. Hashim Amla
and Temba Bamvuma’s useful knocks helped to swell the lead, but the dejected
figure of AB de Villiers was not a satisfactory one for the fans. I can’t
remember when did I last see AB passing through such a lean patch.
I enjoyed the second spell of Ben Stokes. It was aggressive and full of intent. He was bowling a long spell like the fast bowlers of 80s and 90s and hardly seemed to get tired. The humidity didn’t stop him from banging the ball short and test Amla’s technique and temperament. Well, his pace was lively and for a moment, it seemed to me that I was watching an Imran or Botham in full throttle. Test cricket is beautiful.
Thank You
