Theunis de Bruyn

ANALYSIS
Coming into the match, de Bruyn had shown himself to be an excellent first-class batsman, but had never displayed his ability at the Test level. However, with South African wickets falling left-and-right, de Bruyn turned in his best performance at the highest level, having never surpassed 48 in 11 prior Test innings. With remarkable patience and an ability to read spin that had eluded the Proteas in the first three innings of the series.
