Quinton de Kock was not satisfied with his century. There was doubt as to whether James Anderson could go down in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa.
Not only did the English pacer take the field, almost four months later, the international cricket team also celebrated the wicket. Anderson, who was the only ninth player in the history of cricket, got 150 wickets for the first ball of the match. From there, Quinton de Kock’s bat started that day with the Proteas not getting worse.
South Africa scored 277 for 9 after ending the first day of the Centurion Boxing Day Test today (Thursday). Sam Karen and Stuart Broad fight only in the face of the cannon. But the last one was in his jealousy. The wicketkeeper-batsman who has not scored a century for only 5 runs. Karen was 95 and returned to the pavilion.
Anderson proved the correctness of Joe Root’s decision to win the toss. In the first Test of the Ashes last August, he was smacked in the thigh with just 4 overs. After taking a long break, he got the wicket. Anderson returns for Protea opener Dean Elgar (0) in the first over of the innings.
The attempt to overcome that setback failed, with Aiden Kraken (20) returning to the pavilion as Karen’s first victim of a 32-run squad. The next time Zubair Hamza and Faf du Plessis tried to make up. However, Hamza’s departure was 39 to break their resistance. The debut did not go well with Rossi von der Dussen, who was out for 6.

Shortly afterward Du Plessis (29) made his way to the Pavilion, further increasing the danger to the Proteas. However, De Kock’s bat returned to the visitors’ tent. Dwayne Pretorius took the team home with a run. In the sixth wicket, they added 87 runs. Pretorius struck out 33 with 45 boundaries and 1 six, but De Kock was on the other end. He was on his way to Century. But at 95, he had to stop being Karen’s victim. He has arranged 128 balls for 14 fours.
Jofra Archer then got the first wicket to return Keshav Maharaj (6). And when Broad dismissed Kagiso Rabada (12) as the third wicket, the match officials announced the end of the day. Vernon Philander is unbeaten on 28 runs.
