Quite a fabulous backs-to-the wall effort by the young South African. To be quite honest, I never expected him to play an innings of such a quality in such touh circumstances ever. I remember blogging some months back about him being a liability at #3 because he had too few strokes and couldn't up the momentum.
Well, to be frank I still have those reservations. I think his game is suited to play the kind of long innings where the sole purpose is survival rather than attack. How he will do in situations that demand setting up a challenging total or wresting the initiative needs to be seen.
However, for now, I sit back and applaud what even the experts call one of the best test innings in recent times.
