CAPE TOWN: If Ottis Gibson gets his way – and as coach and a selector he has a big say – South Africa will continue to challenge India with a four-pronged fast bowling attack in the two remaining Test matches. Reflecting on South Africa’s 72-run win in the first Test at Newlands, Gibson said: “When you are playing at home you play to your strengths and at the moment we have some high-quality fast bowlers.” “I’m a very fast bowling-minded kind of coach,” said former West Indies player Gibson, explaining why two fast bowlers, Duanne Olivier and Lungi Ngidi, had been added to an already big squad following a series-ending heel injury to Dale Steyn. Even without Steyn, a pace attack of Vernon Philander, Morne Morkel and Kagiso Rabada sent India crashing to 135 all out in the second innings after they had been set a victory target of 208 at Newlands. Gibson said the balance of the team depended on conditions but added that Centurion, where the second Test starts on Saturday, usually had pace and bounce, which would incline him towards four fast bowlers. Olivier and Ngidi are specialist fast bowlers, while Chris Morris and Andile Phehlukwayo are both all-rounders who can add to the batting depth of a team whose fragility was exposed when they were bowled out for 130 in the second innings. Morris is capable of bowling at more than 140kmh, while Phehlukwayo is a medium-pacer. Published in Daily Times, January 11th 2018.
