JOHANNESBURG: West Indies' Jason Holder struck a superb unbeaten 81 and put on 58 runs with number 11 Gudakesh Motie to frustrate South Africa as the tourists were bowled out for 251 before the close on day two of the second and final test at The Wanderers on Thursday .
Openers Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram will seek to extend that advantage on day three on a wicket that is still holding true for the batters. However, Holder led the charge with a superb display of counter-attacking stroke play, smashing four sixes and eight fours. "The most important thing was to stay in the game and we did that. We need some early wickets tomorrow morning. It's a pretty good pitch for batting."Holder, who has a test double-hundred, believes he has the ability to bat in the top six in the West Indies side.
