the question is whether the Protea batting can match his effort. The top order needs to dig deep.

KG looks like he's got at least ten years of 140+ in him. 

Already a beast with reverse swing. Gonna be a handful as he becomes more skilled.

Exactly right....and with age and experience he'll become smarter. Are we looking at a Dennis Lillee Mark2? We just might.....

Noticeably a nice change of pace as well with his fastest hitting 151km/h

Mike Holding sang his praises from the outset.

The point he made, and which I still agree with, is that the more natural a bowler's action is the more swing he'll be able to extract. 

The logic probably being that a manufactured action is harder to tweak for swing. 

Looking at Kagiso, he looks very natural. Like he's not straining to bowl front on and with a high action. He's delivery stride also looks v ery smooth and not as jarring. This makes it  lot easier for him to finish with his bowling hand on the left or right of his body depending on the which way he wants to move it. 

Morkel is the complete opposite of this. If you want h the two side by side it's practically night and day. Excuse the racial pun. 

Anyway, I look forward to watching him take 400 wickets for SA :)
