Nervous speedster Ngidi 向こうずねs on 実験(する) debut for South Africa

PRETORIA, Jan 14 (Reuters) - South Africa´s newest 急速な/放蕩な bowler on the five-day 回路・連盟, Lungi Ngidi, was so nervous ahead of his first ball he was not sure if he could let go of the 配達/演説/出産 but he ended the day with his first wicket and a みごたえのある run-out in the second 実験(する) against India on Sunday.

"I was very nervous, I thought with my first ball I wasn´t going to let it go I was 持つ/拘留するing it so tight," Ngidi, 21, told SuperSport.

"But once I let it go I got the feeling that this was my moment and I need to 得る,とらえる it with both 手渡すs. After that I just started running in."

Ngidi is playing in just his 10th first-class match of a blossoming career and, にもかかわらず his 神経s, showcased his rich 可能性のある with the wicket of Parthiv Patel, the run-out of Cheteshwar Pujara and very nearly the 解雇/(訴訟の)却下 of Indian captain Virat Kohli.

India are 183 for five in their first innings, 追跡するing South Africa by 152 runs on a slow wicket that has bounce but little lateral movement.

The tall, powerful seamer has shown excellent form in 国内の cricket to earn his call-up to the 実験(する) 味方する in the place of the 負傷させるd Dale Steyn, having made his Twenty20 International debut against Sri Lanka 12 months ago, and he 記録,記録的な/記録するd 人物/姿/数字s of 1-26 in nine overs on Sunday for a 満足な start to his 実験(する) career.

His first wicket was a textbook 配達/演説/出産 around the wicket to Patel, a ball that pitched and deviated away from the left-hander, inducing an 辛勝する/優位 to wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.

"Having Vern (Philander) at 中央の-off really helped a lot, the game 計画(する)s that he tells me and we work on, they really make sense to me," Ngidi says. "So after changing the angle (to come around the wicket) I saw the ball was going away from the left-hander and that it was a better 選択."

Ngidi had earlier thought he had Kohli 罠にかける plumb in 前線 of middle stump but after his 控訴,上告 was turned 負かす/撃墜する and South Africa reviewed the 決定/判定勝ち(する), repl ays showed the Indian 船長/主将 had got the faintest of 辛勝する/優位s to the ball.

"He kept moving around the crease and stepping in 前線 of off-stump so I thought maybe I should shoot one in there to see if I could 罠(にかける) him lbw like the last 実験(する) when Vern got him. I thought I had him," a smiling Ngidi said.

The speedster said that にもかかわらず South Africa's seam attack not getting the 援助 from the wicket they had hoped for, he 支援するd them to get the 味方する a first-innings lead.

"They have given us a 匂いをかぐ and our bowling line-up is pretty 解雇する/砲火/射撃d up to keep taking sticks. The wicket might be a little slow but the guys are running in hard so there will be a bit of movement," he said.

"It's cricket, whatever wicket you are given you have to play on, we just want to make the best of what we have." (報告(する)/憶測ing By Nick Said; Editing by Clare Fallon)
