2nd Test: Wasn't An Overs Thing, More About The Time, Says Stubbs On SA’s Late Declaration
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: South Africa’s standout performer Tristan Stubbs reflected on his crucial knock after narrowly missing out on a century on Day 4 of the second Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. The young batter, who top-scored with a composed 94, admitted he felt “a little bit” disappointed at falling short of the three-figure mark, but remained satisfied with the team’s commanding position.
With South Africa firmly in control, many anticipated an early declaration on the fourth day. Instead, the visitors extended their innings beyond a 500-run lead to give Stubbs time to reach his milestone. The 25-year-old looked set for a memorable hundred, but was dismissed six runs short, prompting skipper Temba Bavuma to immediately declare the innings at 260/5, setting India a daunting 549-run target.
Asked after stumps by the presenters whether the near-miss frustrated him, Stubbs responded, “Little bit, but they're two down now, so we'll take that.”
