Vernon Philander seals a superb haul of 8 wickets on Test premier – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vernon-Philander-c2753, stunned the Australian batting side, after sealing his maiden haul of 8 wickets on Thursday, Day 2 of the proceeding series opening Test match, where the Kangaroos suffered a humiliating low score crumble
at their line-up, after being reduced to pile up a minor tally of 47 runs – courtesy Philander’s 2nd innings’ 5 wickets blow to the Aussies, in partnership with the Proteas pace bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528.
Since the initial kick off to the bout on November 9, 2011, at the Newlands venue in Cape Town, Philander managed to restrict the Aussie batters right from their first innings’ run, adding in a major share of fast bowling damage to the visiting side’s top
order.
Alongside Steyn’s haul of 4 wickets on the opening innings, Philander managed to snatch three off the tourists, alongside Morkel’s as much contribution – all of which restricted the Australian batsmen to score 284 runs, thanks to Skipper Michael Clarke’s
151 runs contribution.
Unfortunately for the South African batting stint, the hosts responded with a poor show after the imposing coalition between the side’s fast bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, delivered the major damage to the Proteas batting line-up, reducing
the side to pile up 96 runs.
However, with the big guns coming out with a worthy reprisal, the South African new ball attack managed to deliver a stunning clout on the Aussie line-up, dismissing 6 players at a small total of 18 runs, until reaching the 10 overs mark, which included
Philander’s 3 wickets contribution.
The manner continued for the Australian batting roster which was finally put out of its misery at a humiliating score of 47 runs – handing over a fair chase of 236 runs to South Africa, which by the end of Day 2 had already lost a single wicket.
As for Philander’s imposing stint; if the Proteas are to mark a victory against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, the debutant fast bowler may be regarded as the prime contributor to the side’s triumph, and with two more outings left from the series, the pacer will be kept on
board as the side’s dangerman alongside Steyn as well as Morkel.
