We have the world's best bowling attack, maintains Hashim Amla – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409 and company are still the best in the business. The right-hander also credited the Australian batsmen for their
outstanding show in the first Test of the series at Brisbane.
South Africa’s fast bowling has been their strength over the years, with the likes of Steyn, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vernon-Philander-c2753 playing a huge role in making their team the world’s number one in Test cricket.
The Proteas arrived in Australia as firm favourites because of their recent performances in the longer format of the game. Steyn and Morkel troubled the Aussie batsmen upfront in their first innings, picking up three wickets for just
40 runs. However, Michael Clarke, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942 played out of their skins to take the game away from the visitors’ grasp.
Australia posted a mammoth total of 565 runs for the loss of five wickets, with the three batsmen registering tons.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hamisi-Abdallah-c61368, who is one of the finest batsmen in international cricket at the moment, feels that many countries possess good bowling line-ups, but claims that his side’s is the best.
“Australia has a good attack, obviously they had home conditions and so on,” said the stylish batsman. “In world cricket there are a lot of good attacks. In my opinion, we have the best attack and Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 are also up there.”
The right-handed batsman believes that luck did not favour the Proteas’ bowlers in the Brisbane Test as the Aussie batsmen had many close shaves. However, Amla was all praise for the home team for the kind of application they showed
against a quality bowling attack.
“I thought we created some chances for long periods,” he added. “We could have had http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 caught a couple of times with some really good, telling deliveries that fell into spaces. You go through those periods as batsmen, you
ride that pressure and I thought that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 rode that pressure really well.”
The second Test of the series begins from November 22, at the Adelaide Oval.
