WELLINGTON : South Africa arrived in New Zealand on a high note after a hard-fought home series win over India, but a punishing defeat in their first test against New Zealand in Christchurch on Saturday served as a sobering reality check.
The Proteas, thrashed by an innings and 276 runs in the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch, lasted less than seven sessions against the world champions at the Hagley Oval.
Sarfaraz Khan has made it difficult for the selectors to ignore him when they pick the squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka in the near future. Nothing — not even a pandemic which halted the Ranji Trophy for two years —seems to have put a brake on this unstoppable ‘run-machine’ who seems to be scoring ‘daddy hundreds’ in the tournament for fun. On Friday, Sarfaraz launched into the 2021-22 season in grand style, slamming a magnificent 275 (401b, 30x4, 7x6) to help Mumbai post a formidable 544 for seven declared against Saurashtra on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy Group D clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Johannesburg - Dean Elgar bemoaned a lack of intensity from his players following South Africa’s embarrassing first Test defeat to New Zealand at Hagley Oval on Saturday.
The Proteas' humiliation in the first Test against New Zealand was complete inside seven sessions on Saturday as the hosts wrapped up the match by a comprehensive innings and 276 runs in Christchurch.
New Zealand claimed a rare victory over South Africa on Saturday, wrapping up the first Test by a comprehensive innings and 276 runs in just seven sessions in Christchurch. It is only the fifth time in 46 Tests since 1932 that New Zealand have beaten South Africa with their last victory coming in 2004. "It's a great day," an elated captain Tom Latham said. South Africa, who were 387 behind on the first innings, resumed the day at 34 for three and showed little appetite to chase down the total, losing their final seven wickets before lunch to be all out for 111. Latham said winning the toss and putting South Africa in to bat was critical for New Zealand's success.
