Simon Harmer stars as South Africa make Australia toil

Original: simon harmer

South African off-spinner Simon Harmer is in the spotlight after the second Test against Australia, where he and fellow spinner Keshav Maharaj bowled the Proteas to a commanding position, with a match report noting Bavuma and Harmer made Australia toil at Kingsmead. Earlier in the series, Pat Cummins notably hit Harmer for three sixes in an over. Harmer has also spoken about hoping the two-spinner trend at Kingsmead continues, with his bowling flavour drawing wide praise across cricket media.

Why now: His spin bowling is shaping a high-profile Test series between South Africa and Australia
