Proteas skipper Dean Elgar believes his bowling attack will only improve ahead of Thursday's second Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.South Africa lead the three-match Test series 1-0 thanks to a superb bowling display in the opening Test at Lord's.Last week, the Proteas needed less than 83 overs to capture all 20 wickets as they beat the hosts by an innings and 12 runs.The majority of the damage was done by the pace quartet of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen.
Rabada was awarded Player of the Match as he captured 5 for 52 and 2 for 27.Elgar warned that their in-form pace attack could get even better in Manchester this week. "I reckon they can get much better.
They're still pretty fresh, which is a nice thing to have from my part. They had a brilliant game, the wicket assisted them at Lord's, but they had to put the ball in the right area and done that," Elgar told reporters on Wednesday."Our bowlers are leading our pack at the moment and they're extremely hungry for success.
The competition amongst them is brilliant and just the way they go about things is some of the most professional behaviour I've seen from fast bowlers.
