RE: The Underrated Innings: Embracing Patience in Test Cricket

The allure of Test cricket comes from the fact that it's length provides many ebbs and flows for supporters to enjoy. Kirten's bloody mindedness turned the tide of the Test and ultimately the series (It would have been 1-1 had SA lost).

Unfortunately that series is better remembered for the final Test which Hansie Cronje later admitted to having fixed...

The other great fact about that innings, is that England used 9 bowlers! Only Atherton and Stewart (who was keeping) didn't bowl!
