Sa V Pakistan - Day 1: Corbin Bosch Passes First Test

The Proteas and Pakistan Clashed on Day One of the Crucial Boxing Day Test at Centurion: Zaahier Adams Picks Five Plays of the Day

Dream Debut

It was a deeply emotional day for Corbin Bosch, who was selected to make his Test debut at Centurion, the same ground where his late father, former Proteas fast bowler Tertius Bosch, had made his mark. Tertius, no doubt, would have been watching from above when Corbin made a dream start to his Test career, claiming his first-ever wicket with his very first ball, dismissing Pakistan captain Shan Masood. Bosch didn't stop there, finishing with remarkable debut figures of 4/63 after picking up three more wickets.

Absolute Peach

Saim Ayub had been a thorn in the Proteas side during the ODI series, where the young opener scored two centuries in three matches. To dismiss the in-form left-hander, an exceptional delivery was required - and Dane Paterson delivered just that. The veteran seamer bowled a perfect ball that came in before holding its line, gently kissing the outside edge of Ayub's bat.
