🏏 Temba Bavuma has had a difficult career for the Proteas, with many people questioning whether he was good enough... He put all that behind him on Friday to once again bail his side out of a difficult situation cricket CitizenSport Proteas
“You always have to keep your head down. Throughout my career I have gone through a lot of downs. There have been a couple of ups. But I have learnt from an emotional point of view to ride with your form,” said Bavuma.“In cricket things can happen very quickly. So I also have it in my head that anything can happen the next day. You just need to always keep your head down.
This made him doubt himself, however he emphatically shattered those doubts with his performance on Friday. “Obviously getting a score like this early on in my captaincy in the Test format is a big confidence boost and hopefully things can go from strength to strength from here.”The Proteas batting struggles in their previous Test series against Australia down under, in December and January, was a huge learning curve for Bavuma and the rest of the order, and he believes that has made him a better player.
“Quality bowlers are not going to give you freebies, so you can’t really sit there and hope for a half volley. You need to find a way to score off there good balls as well.”
