2nd Test: To Beat A Very Good Indian Team Is A Hell Of An Effort, Says Harmer
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: South Africa off-spinner Simon Harmer hailed the team’s emphatic 2-0 series sweep over India, calling it as ‘a hell of an effort’. On day five’s play at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Harmer picked a match-winning six-for to ensure South Africa thrashed India by 408 runs.
Harmer also took the Player of the Series award for picking 17 wickets at an average of 8.94 and a strike rate of 28, as South Africa got a Test series win in India after 25 years. "Like I said in the last Test, it's been a long road. 10 years later, completely different feeling. Will leave with a lot more fonder memories from then. To beat a very good Indian team is a hell of an effort,” said Harmer at the conclusion of the game.
Asked about his six-fer in Guwahati, Harmer said, “I was just watching our second innings, after 40 overs, the ball got softer and it became easier. But there was the odd-ball, the ball that Rishabh got. Its nice to contribute, to get wickets and to get a fifer in India. I think in the second innings we knew they would bat for their lives, they put hell of a fight. But we knew if we put it in the right areas, things would happen.
