PRETORIA : Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada led the way as South Africa’s pace attack ripped through the West Indies to win the first test at Centurion inside three days on Thursday with an 87-run triumph.
Victory came despite solitary resistance from Jermaine Blackwood, who scored 79 of his team’s runs in a one-man effort to give the Windies a chance. Aiden Markram, who scored a century in the first innings on his return to the test side, top scored again with 47 while Kagiso Rabada and debutant Gerald Coetzee were the only other home batsmen to get to double figures as they put on 29 runs for the ninth wicket.
Jansen took two wickets in successive balls as he forced a top edge from Tagenarine Chanderpaul and then bowled Roston Chase first ball with his next delivery, clipping the top of the off stump as Chase offered no stroke.
