Proteas captain Dean Elgar, beaming after his side's innings-and-12-run win over a heavily-fancied England at Lord's on Wednesday, has credited coach Mark Boucher and the rest of the backroom staff.
Ben Stokes insisted England will not carry any “baggage” into the rest of the series from their crushing innings-and-12-run defeat inside three days in the first Test against South Africa at Lord’s.
LONDON : Captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum promised to persist with England’s new attacking approach to test cricket despite being handed a heavy innings defeat on Friday in the first test against South Africa.
South Africa maintained their stranglehold on the first Test at Lord’s by bowling England out for 165 on the second morning with Kagiso Rabada claiming an impressive five-wicket haul.
South Africa inflicted England's first defeat of the 'Bazball' era as they won the first Test by a crushing innings and 12 runs with more than two days to spare at Lord's on Friday. England were dismissed for 149 in their second innings before tea on the third day, with the Proteas effectively winning the game in six sessions after most of Wednesday's first day was lost to rain. Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj struck twice before fast bowler Anrich Nortje followed up with a superb spell of three wickets for no runs in 10 balls as the Proteas, leaders of the World Test Championship table, took a 1-0 lead in a three-match series.
South African social media had a field day poking fun at and sharing banter about England's famed "Bazball" approach to Test cricket after the Proteas' innings win at Lord's on Friday.
England collapsed inside 40 overs as they slumped to a crushing innings-and-12-run defeat before the end of the third day of the first Test of the series against South Africa at Lord’s.
Kagiso Rabada took a brilliant five-wicket haul as South Africa bowled out England for a paltry total of 165 on Day 2 of the ongoing first Test at the Lord's Cricket Ground. In reply, South Africa got off to a solid start with skipper Dean Elgar and opener Sarel Erwee. Elgar and Erwee added 85 runs for the first wicket, before the former was dismissed in one of the most unfortunate ways. Elgar tried to work James Anderson's delivery off his pads. However, the ball clipped the thigh guard and then bobbled back off his right arm before hitting the stumps.
