Proteas have taken step in the right direction - AB

The Castle Lager Proteas’ emphatic 280-run win against England in the fourth Sunfoil Test match at SuperSport Park on Tuesday is a welcome step in the right direction. The almost flawless performance in Centurion is a positive end to a challenging season of Test cricket, and is a promising sign of the way forward for the squad.De Villiers says he ‘thoroughly enjoyed’ captaining the team in the two matches this series and is excited about the future of the Test squad, who’s next series is only in August against New Zealand at home.The captain struggled to find the superlatives to describe Kagiso Rabada’s record-breaking performance, but feels it is one of the highlights of his career to be the captain of such a dominant performance.Rabada himself was still basking in all of the glory of the morning’s events, and gave credit to a team effort for his first taste of a Test win.
