It is the best format there is: Nortje relishes Test cricket return after three years
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 10 (IANS) South Africa fast bowler Anrich Nortje said he was delighted to return to Test cricket after three years, describing the longest format as the best in the game after making an immediate impact against Australia in the opening Test at Kingsmead. Nortje, who last played red-ball cricket for South Africa against the West Indies in Centurion in 2023, claimed two wickets on the opening day of the first Test, helping the hosts restrict Australia to 187/6 before bad light and rain brought an early end to play on Friday. The right-arm pacer struck twice in the same over to dismiss Alex Carey (14) and Beau Webster (4), reducing Australia to 124/6 after the visitors had recovered from an early setback. Nortje returned to the test setup after a prolonged absence caused by fitness issues and missed opportunities. Its always been, sort of; I wanted to play. The opportunities and the timing and the things were not always great. Obviously, having had a few issues, things didnt always work out, Nortje said as quoted by Cricinfo. Reflecting on his previous attempts to return to the longest format, the fast bowler recalled an injury that had disrupted his chances during the home ODI series against Pakistan. The closest I got was, I think, Pakistan at home. Broke my toe in the ODIs when David was throwing reverse swing balls to me in the nets. So, yeah, it came close in the past, he said. Its nice to finally, sort of, get it to work out and to be on the park, to play for the country again, especially wearing the baggy. Its a bit worn out just from laying at home, he added. Nortje said he continued to enjoy the physical demands of Test cricket, particularly the challenge of finding breakthroughs during extended spells of bowling. I enjoy the hard graft. Ive always said it, that the second, third, maybe the fourth spell is the sort of point in the game that I enjoy the most, where you have to try and dig deep and try and get something out for the team, he said. So, Ive always enjoyed it, and Ill continue to enjoy it. Its probably the best format there is. So, yeah, its nice to be here again, he added. Nortje was among three South African bowlers to claim two wickets each on the opening day, alongside Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen. Mulder removed Travis Head, while Jansen dismissed Nic Maddinson and Steve Smith to put Australia under pressure. However, Matt Renshaw (46 not out) and Australia captain Pat Cummins (33 not out) helped the visitors recover with an unbeaten 63-run stand for the seventh wicket, leaving the contest evenly balanced heading into the second day.

There Might Be Some Paddles In The Air: Pietersen Backs Hopes IPL Appeal After Record Chase
Indian Premier League: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has tipped Shai Hope to attract interest from Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises after the West Indies skipper produced a match-winning century against India in the second T20I in Ranchi on Friday, steering his side to a six-wicket victory with a record chase of 250. If Shai Hope puts his name into mini IPL auction, there might be some paddles in the air from a few tables, Kevin Pietersen wrote on X. Hopes unbeaten 102 off 45 balls helped West Indies reach 252 for four in 19.2 overs, completing the highest successful T20I chase against India and levelling the five-match series at 1-1. His innings combined controlled strokeplay with a late acceleration that left the Indian bowling attack unable to defend a formidable total. The 31-year-old found crucial support from Sherfane Rutherford, who smashed 84 off just 37 deliveries in a 120-run partnership that transformed the contest. West Indies had stumbled to 58 for three inside the powerplay after losing two wickets in the opening over, but the pair turned the pressure back on India with an aggressive counterattack. Hopes performance offered a reminder of his ability to adapt his game to the demands of T20 cricket. While Rutherford supplied the explosive hitting during the middle overs, the captain ensured the chase remained on course before taking charge in the closing stages. India had posted 249 for five, with Sanju Samson leading the innings with 82 off 41 balls and Tilak Varma contributing 44. However, Roston Chases three-wicket haul and the early dismissals of the West Indies batters were overshadowed by the visitors remarkable recovery. Pietersens remark came after Hope demonstrated both qualities in a chase that required sustained aggression and composure. India had posted 249 for five, with Sanju Samson leading the innings with 82 off 41 balls and Tilak Varma contributing 44. However, Roston Chases three-wicket haul and the early dismissals of the West Indies batters were overshadowed by the visitors remarkable recovery.
