Got a first 5 wicket haul for 8’years and joins Sobers, Bothan and Kallis as the only players who have scored five hundreds and took five 5 wicket hauls.
I think a lot of us thought he was finished as a test match bowler but he looks magnificent. I was worried that given his batting level has dropped a bit it would be grist to the mill of those who still for some reason beyond me question his leadership and the way he wants his team to play the game.
For me he’s simply an all time great. He leads from the front, never hides, always looks to win. He’s a fantastic sportsman.
