00:46on that option there's no one in front of square gets into a strong position and absolutely middles

00:52it onto the bank here at kingsmeade the option for south africa might be to bring the man across

00:58from the offside i wanted extra cover there hasn't been many shots played through that area but that

01:02was an absolutely beaut yes he's a mighty fine player now what i really like about him is his

01:09rhythm at the crease two things the rhythm of his footwork the way he moves back and forward and

01:14into the shot absolutely beautiful rhythm and then the tempo of his play it's the holy grail of

02:09the south africans as one will be happy that one stuck it's the one that went the other way previous

02:15deliveries came back into him this one went away and that's much better in the slipcord and stein
