That Centurion wicket looks to have some juice in it for sure
. I can well imagine Curtly Ambrose in his pomp would enjoy bowling on that
.
Love Curtly Ambrose. My favourite ever bowler
.
Always good to see a usually dominant India team hammered. Some great batting from Kohli & Rahul, from India, a mammoth knock from Elgar & great stroke-play from Jansen. Bedingham made a 50 on debut, which came as no surprise after a successful spell with Durham.
The gamechanger was the duo of Rabada & Burger who had 7 wickets a piece, making inroads with the new ball & throughout. Burger has burst on the scene making his debut in all 3 formats in December, his 5 for in the 2nd innings stopped any thoughts of an India fightback.
The only downside is that it is only a 2 match series, it's made for some compelling watching. Far better than the Australia Pakistan miss-match.
Must admit I was expecting a tight finish of that first test between South Africa and India
Oh well let's see what happens next in the Australia Vs Pakistan
A much better contest in the 2nd Test, plenty of batsmen getting in for Pakistan in the chase, it required one of them to reach 3 figures & in may have been close. The Australian bowling attack is one of the best ever. Captain Cummins was awarded the player of the match for his 10 wickets.
