Every South African batsman who came to practice at Eden Gardens yesterday was tired of having to suffer a miserable defeat against India at the same ground in the group match of the World Cup. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who conceded 33 runs and took 5 wickets, shook the foundations of South Africa.
Yesterday, the South African batsmen went through a special training session to avoid falling into the spin trap while going against Australia in the semi-final. The rough (the dry part of the pitch where the spinners benefit) was made just ahead of the crease and the spinners bowled on it. Apart from Keshav Maharaj and Tabares Shamsi, Bengal also fielded a host of spinners in cricket as net bowlers. The South African batsmen returned after facing them in the nets for two hours. Instead of pace bowlers, throw down specialists also bowled in the nets.
The South African batsmen in the nets were made to sweat yesterday by Aussie leg-spinner Adam Sampa, who is the top wicket-taker with 22 wickets from 9 matches. Captain Temba Bavuma tried inside-out shots against the spinners. Fellow opener Quinton de Kock’s focus was on the sweep shot and the slow shot. Markram’s whole effort was to get the spinners off track by playing stumped out. Herik Klaasen batted in the nets in an all-out attack style while Razi Vander Dassan focused on defence.
