#4 Andile Phehlukwayo stakes his claim
A year ago, South Africa were searching for a good all-rounder. But now they have four – Wayne Parnell, Chris Morris, Dwaine Pretorius and Andile Phehlukwayo – and aren't sure how to fit them into their playing XI.
Phehlukwayo gave a good account of himself in his debut series against Australia where he led the bowling charts. His gritty batting at the death also earned accolades but his bowling, despite the numbers, was under scrutiny.
The all-rounder put matters to rest with a splendid spell against England. He had the well settled Alex Hales edging to de Kock before grabbing the all important wicket of Joe Root with a bouncer. His figures after his first four overs read 4-0-16-2. Although he took a bit of stick towards the end, Phehlukwayo showed that he can do a good job as a bowler.
