Consistency has been lacking, admits Proteas' Maharaj: In an attack celebrated for its fast and furious elements, Keshav Maharaj’s more serene skills leave him susceptible to bombardment.
When opposition batters have sought a release from the pressure created by Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortjé, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi, it is Maharaj they try to attack. For most of his Test career, the 32-year-old left-arm spinner has used that to his advantage.
However, in this series against the former, the home team’s batters have done a better job in targeting him than other opponents in his career. Sydney brought reward in a comfortable return catch to dismiss Steve Smith, but by then he’d scored a hundred and again Australia’s batters dominated, as Maharaj conceded 108 runs in 25 overs.
