England vs South Africa 2017: 5 players to watch out for in the Test series

#5 Hashim Amla (South Africa)

The rock at the top

The monk at the top of the order has always been a thorn in the English flesh and it will not be any different this time too.

In 17 matches against England, Amla has notched up 1574 runs at an impressive average of 57. His highest score of 311 at the Oval will always been one of the iconic innings to have been played between the two teams.

Without AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis for the first game, Amla assumes all the more importance and in many ways, he would be a key cog in the South African batting order.
