India's 187 decent enough but not really par

Andile Phehlukwayo commended South Africa's effort to dismissing India for 187 in the first innings, but insisted it is important to find runs on a bowling friendly pitch after being reduced to 6/1 at stumps in the third and final Test at The Wanderers in Johannesburg.

"We did have a good day. Our efforts on the field were really good bar http://www.officialgiantsfootballs.com/Harry-Carson-Jersey-Cheap a few mistakes here and there. 180-odd is really good. The guys put the ball in the right areas and they were rewarded," said Phehlukwayo after taking 2-25. (SEE PHOTOS)
"It's a really good http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialonline.com/Adidas-Keegan-Kolesar-Jersey wicket (to bowl on). But you've got to be really positive and look to score. You have got to get into good positions otherwise there is a ball that has your number on that type of wicket."
"You have to be looking ahead of the game. Their total is a decent enough total Daimion Stafford Authentic Jersey but it's not really par. We bowled really well. If you just hang Jeff Keppinger Youth jersey in there and try to get bowlers into 2nd and 3rd spells, you can cash in (as batsmen)," he added.
Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara scored contrasting half-centuries as India lost their last 7 wickets for 90 runs. The latter though struggled to get off the mark for 54 balls, with India scoring only 45 runs in the morning session.
"I looked at who was bowling at that time and Vernon (Philander) bowled eight overs for one run. As much as they were not going anyway, the bowlers did really well and maintained discipline really well. But the way Kohli and Pujara batted was really good," said Phehlukwayo.
"Kohli at the end was really positive, and Pujara was waiting for bad balls but he didn't really get many. You've got to find a way to try and score on that wicket, and they weren't going anywhere. If we had added two more wickets, we would have been really into the game," he added.
The all-rounder outlined that this was a good pitch for bowlers, and that the batsmen can get exposed here if the proper lengths are bowled.
"I was the fifth seamer. My job was to try and hit a length. If there's nibble on the wicket, try and expose that. Just try to hit top of off stump, with a few bouncers and try getting reward from that.
"Days four and five will get quite difficult to bat. There are obvious cracks and one ball deviates a lot (off length). It will go up and down. It's already getting quite difficult from length. If we post a good first innings http://www.officialwildteamonline.com/Jason_Pominville_Jersey score, I Authentic Mike Remmers Jersey think it will be a good game," he signed off. nfl jerseys cheap basketball jerseys for sale mlb jerseys usa mlb jerseys wholesale nike nfl jerseys from china basketball jerseys custom
