After South Africa pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada removed Usman Khawaja (6) and Cameron Green (0) in quick succession and Marco Jansen got Marnus Labuschagne (22), then Ngidi got the massive wicket of Smith, trapping him lbw for 13 to reduce Australia to 48\/4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I think because of the stage that we\u2019re playing on, that\u2019s probably the best wicket I could\u2019ve gotten. Having struggled a bit in the first innings and then to be able to get that wicket, at that stage, it probably ranks very high up there for me. I can\u2019t put into words how I felt about taking that wicket. Such a relief,\" Ngidi told ICC Digital.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After struggles on the opening day of the one-off Test, where he settled for figures of 0\/45 from his eight overs, Ngidi bounced back on Day 2, claiming three for 53.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"(I) probably tried to do too much, too early, ended up leaking runs, putting yourself under pressure and then you\u2019re chasing the game from there. I was putting a bit of pressure on myself. Bowling in the first innings, seeing the guys that have gone ahead, they\u2019ve performed so well, taken wickets, you want to carry on that momentum,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201c(With) Test cricket, you\u2019ve got two chances as a bowler. The coach said, \u2018just go play your game, don\u2019t worry about anything that has gone on before, it\u2019s your moment now, when you get the ball, just make it count,\" Ngidi recalled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pat Cummins' superb spell helped rout South Africa for just 138 and saw Australia take a lead of 74 on the first innings but the Proteas' quicks fired up in reply as Rabada and Ngidi combined for six wickets to leave the Aussies reeling at 144\/8 in their second dig heading into the third day on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"First innings probably didn\u2019t go as planned, so once I got a bit of rhythm from the other end, and I could feel that I was putting the ball in the right areas and there was still a bit of assistance in the wicket, I felt like that would probably be the dismissal, trying to set that up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
