I hear from the commentators that Rabada has been receiving advice from the alltime great Michael Holding and they go on to say that Holding thinks that Rabada needs to make a few technical corrections and if and when he does he'll be a much better bowler. Just wondering that if the kid follows Michael's advice are we possibly looking at the next best thing in fast bowling?

He is getting lots of wickets, and it's hard to say why....except perhaps that he bowls a very consistent line. He is fast, but that shouldn't bother the top order....and he appears to be getting little swing or movement off the pitch. In the long run getting movement seems to be the key, given he doesn't get huge bounce like a Morkel.

Moz, nobody has gotten swing in this series. Not even Anderson. And you can bet Steyn will be working with him. Also, pace does matter. Remember Mitchel Johnson, when he suddenly discovered how 150km put in the right spot could terrorize batters and ran through both England(twice),and SA at home. He wasn't getting much swing either. Strangely, Radaba reminds of Pollock.

I'm looking forward to seeing a fit Dale Steyn comprising of a four prong pace attack of Rabada, Morkel abd Abbot. Could be some jumpy batsmen at the crease. Then again Piedt holds his own as a good spinner in the making.
