However, Protea are now top of the World Test Championship and offer a new style of tough testing.I'm not even particularly impressed with my victory over. "I don't think brave crickets have a lifespan," Elgar told Wisden Cricket Monthly. "In Test cricket, we have seen things calm down over time. If New Zealand had taken their chances, England would have fled unguarded."
Inexcusable. Not an old-fashioned tale of brawling from a skipper,although Stokes, who had refused to bite Elgar's criticism of the term "buzzball" , states: "We don't talk much about it. They have their style of play and we have ours."
