Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj says they’re slowly moving away from being a one-man team‚ especially in their batting department.
While this theory was firmly debunked by Heinrich Klaasen‚ David Miller and Kyle Verreynne‚ Wednesday’s second ODI against Australia at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein will again put it to the test.
Maharaj played his part with the ball‚ but the middle-order batsmen with the least experience in Klaasen and Verreynne skilfully repaired the innings to set up the platform for the bowlers. "David Miller came through with his experience. Heinrich’s played a handful of international games‚ but the maturity he showed in his innings and how he paced himself looked like he’s been there for a long time‚” Maharaj said.
Maharaj said Australia didn’t take the game lightly even though SA had a green middle-order. On his ODI debut‚ Verreynne came in at four and Klaasen at five. With De Kock‚ SA had three wicket-keepers as Mark Boucher’s side searches for its perfect middle-order.
