Well deserved appreciation







Build up

The four-match Test series between South Africa and Australia has had its share of wonderful pace bowling, canny spinners, some gritty batting, verbal spats and ball tampering saga. It has certainly been a Test series full of intense drama and tension.

It is South Africa who have all the aces going into the final day's play of the well-contested series. Australia have already lost three wickets in their second innings and the pitch has enough variable bounce on offer. So the home team would look to wrap up the series 3-1. The only worry for the home side is Morkel, Rabada and Philander are all carrying injuries.

Morkel, who is playing in his final international game, will look to end his noteworthy career on a high. The tall pacer bowled on Day 4 despite carrying a side strain and bagged two scalps. Can the gentle giant end his career with a five-for?

For the visitors, they would look to salvage some pride, especially after the ball tampering saga that led to Cricket Australia banning the trio of Steven Smith (12 months), Warner (12 months) and Bancroft (9 months).

Along the way, I would also recall a few memorable performances from Morne Morkel. You can also share your views via the Twitter handle @fancricket12
