Tahir Takes Three For South Africa

Tahir Takes Three For  South Africa :A unassailable performance by South Africa's spin bowlers, bounce from Morne Morkel and a clinical screening with the bat gave them a convincing victory ended Zimbabwe in their initially warm-up match in Chennai.


South Africa had could you repeat that? Zimbabwean coach Alan Butcher called an "inadequate total" to chase and went in this area it in commanding create. They reached the target of 153 inside 24 overs and single lost two wickets in the process. Hashim Amla and Graeme Smith laid the platform with a initially wicket relationship of 69.


Amla reverted back to the wild feature of himself with the intention of he displayed in the initially hardly any ODIs hostile to India in January, even though he previously indicated with the intention of he would steer away from such overdone mess about. His initially boundary came rancid the initially globe, a showy shot with the intention of Brendan Taylor must be inflicted with trapped by initially slip but consent to through. That served single to spur Amla on and he played approximately showy shots to complement a hardly any beautiful boundaries in his 45. He became South African's initially wicket, falling to Ray Price.


Smith was far more controlled and made particularly skilled aid of the graze shot in his 41. South Africa's standout batsman was Jacques Kallis, who looked in treacherous form in his initially innings since persistent from injury. Kallis has been made known of proceedings pro six weeks but returned looking as skilled as always. "It was a kind blow pro him and will be skilled pro his confidence," Smith understood. "Now we will look to build him up to the then stage, which will be bowling." Kallis played thumbs down part with the globe, although he did meadow.


Zimbabwe's bowlers were taken apart but Butcher was pleased with the intention of they "did an sanction job." They used three spinners, counting Prosper Utseya, who they opened with, and Butcher understood with the intention of the strategy of opening with a spinner is lone they will in all likelihood take up again with. "Our spinners be inflicted with been made known preeminent bowlers ended the continue time or so and in these conditions it will suit us to commence with a spinner, as we be inflicted with been responsibility. I'll be surprised if other sides don't sort out the same by approximately stage in the World Cup."
