Proteas coach Mark Boucher, ever candidly, reminded everyone ahead of the Test series between his charges and England starting on Thursday that the on-field skirmishes of the two nations always creates a huge amount of hype.
As the English cricket public raves over the "Bazball" their national team is playing in Test cricket, the Proteas have been going about their business relatively quietly.
It would seem that Kagiso Rabada's involvement in the first Test between the Proteas and England, starting at Lord's on Wednesday, might have to boil down to team management taking a leap of faith.
LONDON : South Africa are not sure how they are going to deal with England’s new aggressive approach to playing test cricket with coach Mark Boucher saying on Monday they will adopt a wait-and-see attitude when the first test starts at Lord’s on Wednesday.
Mark Boucher saying on Monday they will adopt a wait-and-see attitude when the first Test starts at Lord's on Wednesday. England have won their last four Tests under new captain Ben Stokes with an aggressive batting and bowling approach, nicknamed "Bazball", which helped them chase down big targets to beat both New Zealand and India in the last two months. Stokes is expected to stick to the formula for the three-Test series against South Africa.
Ex-Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has taken a dig at former India skipper MS Dhoni over the latter's wicketkeeping skills. Latif, who himself was a wicketkeeper-batter during his playing days, used stats to put forward his views. He said that Dhoni dropped around 21 per cent of his catches which is a "huge" number. It is worth noting that Dhoni registered 256 catches and 38 stumpings in Test cricket, 321 catches and 123 stumpings in ODIs and 57 catches and 34 stumpings in T20Is. However, Rashid feels that one should also pay attention to the number of chances missed by a wicketkeeper.
Proteas coach Mark Boucher has heaped praise on opening batsman Reeza Hendricks, saying he has done "something special" on his side's tour of England.
Proteas stars Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, and Shabnim Ismail headlined the Cricket South Africa (CSA) 2021/22 season award nominations that were announced on Tuesday.
