1 day ago | sacricketmag.com | Simon Borchardt

Three players will make their Test debut for the Proteas in the first Test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, starting on Saturday. Big-hitting batsmen Lhuan-dre Pretorius (19) and Dewald Brevis (22), along with fast bowler Codi Yusuf (27), are part of a much-changed XI that includes just four players from the side that won the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s.

The West Indies pace attack again exposed the vulnerability of the Australian top-order batting as the tourists stuttered to 92-4 in their second innings at stumps on the second day of the first Test at Kensington Oval. Trailing on first innings by just 10 runs after the Caribbean side were dismissed at tea for 190 in reply to the Aussies’ first-innings total of 180, the match is balanced on a knife’s edge as Australia lead by 82 runs with six wickets in hand.

In-form opener Pathum Nissanka scored 146* as Sri Lanka tightened their grip on the second Test against Bangladesh on day two in Colombo. The hosts were 290-2 at stumps, a lead of 43 on the back of Nissanka’s sparkling innings off 238 balls. It follows his career-best score of 187 in the first Test in Galle, which ended in a draw. Nissanka found an able partner in former captain Dinesh Chandimal, who scored a fluent 93 before a lapse in judgement saw him lose his wicket minutes before stumps.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers reduced Bangladesh to 220-8 at stumps on a rain-hit day one of the second Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground. On a track that offered little for the bowlers, it was debutant Sonal Dinusha who stole the spotlight. The 24-year-old left-arm spinner, thrust into the big league following Angelo Mathews’ retirement, returned figures of 2-22 in an impressive debut. Dinush’s first scalp was Litton Das, ending a flourishing fifth-wicket partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim.

The Proteas’ long-awaited ICC triumph has not only sparked national celebrations but also placed a new kind of pressure on the team – that of being the hunted.

But, as wicketkeeper-batsman Kyle Verreynne acknowledges, it’s also made them a marked team.
