Robin Peterson likely to make a return in Perth Test – Cricket News Update
The left-arm orthodox spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Peterson-c2332, is likely to be a part of South Africa’s playing XI against Australia for the final Test at Perth, scheduled to kick-off this Friday.
Even with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 Tahir to be their front-line spinner. The chances of Peterson’s return have become
bright after a poor performance by Tahir in the last game, where he conceded most runs without taking any wicket in a Test match.
After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 in 2008, where he took 6 wickets, Peterson has not featured
in the 5-day squad for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
With his regular place in the ODIs and T20s, the left-arm spinner has earned respect for himself. Earlier, he was remembered as being the bowler who was dispatched for 28 in an over by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brian-Charles-Lara-c48471 back in 2003, which is the most expensive over in the history
of Test cricket till today.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 is likely to go with four font-line pacers in the final encounter after the curator of WACA, Cameron Sutherland, ensured the track is all set to have good bounce and pace. To match the Kangaroo attack, the Proteas might have slightly different
tactics.
“How South Africa play on this, seeing as it's familiar conditions to them, might be different. If it goes day four or day five, a spinner might become handy. It's just whether you think the quicks will get more use out of the wicket before the spinner has
an impact on the game. There are good quicks on both sides so it depends how the batters bat. Both sides have got batters that love the ball coming on and the horizontal shots. They are two evenly matched sides that love these conditions,” said Sutherland.
The result of Perth Test will not only decide the series winner, but also the top spot in the Test rankings.
