Raymon Reifer bats for West Indies on day two of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion on March 1 2023.A session of play not in keeping with the modern way of playing Test cricket saw the West Indies score just at 2.2 runs an over, to reach tea 136/3 on day 2 of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Wednesday.
With “Bazball” all the rage, and England pushing a new era for the Test format with their explosive scoring, the West Indies offered a throwback performance in warm and occasionally blustery conditions. To give the South African bowlers their due, they were extremely patient in the second session, with Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortjé producing a couple of testing spells from the West Lane End.
It was the latter who made the only breakthrough during the session when he had Jermaine Blackwood well caught off an inside edge by wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen, a catch the West Indies batter sent upstairs to the TV official to provide clear judgment.
