Congratulations Mulder , he's finally delivering on the promise he showed as a teenager for the Lions , must be a big relief for the young man to get that first ton out of the way.

This is only second time in Test cricket that three players have scored their first ever test hundred in the same innings.
First time it happened was in 1948 when Gerry Gomez , Robert Christiani and Clyde Walcott scored their first hundreds vs India in Delhi

My goodness you know the Bangladesh openers are bad when junk like that gets a wicket in the first over.

What a weird 1st over , the bowler has conceded 1 run , the batsmen scored 0 , the score is 10/1

Got a 50 last game under pressure. And now given the opportunity on a flat deck got his hundred. That shows progress. Just want you want to see. Consistency of runs is the next step.Let us believe

He also got his maiden ODI 50 not so long ago, so he's definitely heading in the right direction.

The new World No.1 test ranked bowler getting some fresh wickets for the tally

Just a question for SA fans. You have clearly had the bowlers to bowl good teams out over the last couple of years, but where do you think your batting is going to stand outside of Asia against good pace bowling sides? Obviously a few newish players have turned up for this series, but how might they fair in other climes moving forward?

For me, it's the big question.
We needed this Windies/Bangladesh tours to build up confidence, performance behind players names and getting some idea of how we going to move forward.
Markram is capable of playing free flowing knocks against the best pace attacks but consistency is the question.
Bedingham and Verreynne have scored 100s in New Zealand already but both aren't the biggest movers of their feet.
Bavuma has shown he is capable of getting runs around the world but just not dominantly and match winning performances. I guess he also needs runs himself.
Tony de Zorzi will be the interesting one. Excited to see how he goes against good pace attacks. Sometimes looks weak to off-spin and knicking off but then on his day he scores so freely and majestically.
Stubbs. If he can remove that nothing defensive shot on 5th stump he will be the key player in how we move forward as a test team. He looks ungainly at times but he hits the ball on the top of the bounce that reminds me of Kevin Pietersen. No problems about his adaptability.

We are just taking one series at a time i think , right now there is nobody in World cricket that is unbeatable and several teams of late have made the mistake of underestimating their opponents or looking ahead.
For example take Bangladesh, they whitewashed Pakistan in Pakistan and NZ could not beat them at home this year. We beat West Indies away from home who took a test off Australia in Australia, NZ beat India in India but got whitewashed by Sri Lanka. The positive for us is that most of these players are at a good age where they will get better with time.

I hope we don't enforce the follow on if it gets to that stage , it's just an unnecessary strain on the bowlers especially in these conditions.
