Ubuncinci bomhla ozinzileyo namhlanje ... ukuba imozulu ilungile kusasa iNgilane ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuphumelela kwaye ukuba iyabhabha phantsi emva koko idrowa ingabonakala inokwenzeka.

Instead he took the defensive option.
Nevertheless he yet again demonstrated his sheer class with the bat by hitting another century. He already averages the best part of 49 and the perceived notion is that players hit the peak of their form when they get to 30 years of age so the 28 year old has a year and a half until he reaches that milestone.

Trott kufuneka ukuqalisa ukwenza ukuba yena ibihlaba ukuze ube ngumdlali kwihlabathi ngokwenene.
