Anrich Nortje of SA celebrates with captain Dean Elgar after taking the wicket of Alex Lees of England on day three of the first Test at Lord's on August 19 2022.SA speedster Anrich Nortjé said he relished bowling at speeds rarely seen in English conditions, after he was timed at 148km/h in his team’s crushing innings defeat of England in their first Test at Lord’s on Friday.
Nortje’s average speed in the over where he dismissed the dangerous Jonny Bairstow was 148km/h, making it the quickest over England have had to face at home in the last decade of Test cricket, according to the analytics website CricViz.“It's hard work, you have to get yourself up. Sometimes you think you've bowled the right ball and it just goes to the boundary and then you have your captain saying 'It's a good ball, keep going, keep going'.
“Sometimes it feels like it's a lot slower and the speed gun says something different, and then sometimes it feels fast, then this speed guns says it's slow. But when I'm on the field, I just try to execute as much as possible.”
