Maphaka, Yusuf waiting in the wings

THE World Test Championship final at Lord’s last week was once again a Proteas fast-bowler exhibition as Kagiso Rabada led from the front, returning a nine-wicket haul to help South Africa claim all 20 Australian wickets.

Maphaka, Yusuf waiting in the wings

Going into the London encounter, there were a lot of questions with regards to Rabada’s ability to stand up from the drug scandal he faced leading up to the match, and boy did the 30-year-old silence his doubters against the No 1-ranked Aussies.

He took five wickets in the first innings, his 17th Test fifer, and followed with a four-for in the second as he narrowly missed out on what would've been a great 10-for at the Home of Cricket.

In the process, Rabada broke Allan Donald's Test record (330) to move to fourth on the Proteas all-time leading wicket-takers’ list on 336, behind only Makhaya Ntini (390), Shaun Pollock (421) and Dale Steyn (439).
