Kagiso Rabada

England v South Africa, first Test player ratings | The Cricketer, cricket news.

Nortje added some key runs on the third morning and made England pay with some wonderful quick bowling at the middle-order. Kagiso Rabada (3; 5-52 & 2-27): Arrived off the back of an ankle issue but bowled at full gas, taking seven wickets across the match including a first-innings five-for. Keshav Maharaj (41; DNB & 2-35): Found crucial runs down the order in the partnership with Jansen on the third evening. James Anderson (0 & 1; 1-51): Deserved better than a single wicket in the South Africa innings and on another day gets himself on the honours board again. Ben Stokes (20 & 20; 3-71): A pair of 20s on either side an inspiring bowling display on the second evening. Zak Crawley (9 & 13): 0, 40, 7, 8, 43, 9, 4, 0, 6, 25, 9, 49, 9, 13 - Crawley's last 14 innings since his century in the Caribbean make for sorry reading.
