After a lacklustre batting performance on day one, the Proteas bowling attack fought hard against a stacked Australian batting lineup to bring South Africa back into the game. However, that was all shattered with a total batting collapse in SA’s second ...
It was a valiant effort from the South African bowlers, and Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the bunch, taking four for 76. Marco Jansen added three of his own, while Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi rounded out the wickets.
Kagiso Rabada of South Africa celebrates taking the wicket of David Warner of Australia during day two of the first Test match between Australia and South Africa at the Gabba on 18 December 2022 in Brisbane, Australia. When South Africa’s second innings commenced just before 12 noon local time, the Proteas’ batters had it all to do, and ultimately, they weren’t up to the task.
The pair survived 16 overs, putting on 42 runs, before Bavuma was trapped lbw off the bowling of Lyon, leaving South Africa on 47 for three. With South Africa writhing at 69 for nine and sitting on 15 off 65, Zondo decided to have a go — playing some textbook strokes which included hitting three fours in a row off the bowling of Cummins.
Travis Head of Australia bats during day two of the first Test match between Australia and South Africa at the Gabba on 18 December 2022 in Brisbane, Australia. Australia, naturally, went on to win, but the Proteas bowlers, and particularly Rabada, didn’t make it easy.
