After winning the first Test against South Africa, Australia have chosen to bowl first in the second Test. The pacers were bowling well in the first session and got the opening wicket as Scott Boland cleaned up Sarel Erwee on a score of 18. However, South Africa might have been reduced to 32/2 but Dean Elgar was lucky enough to survive even after the ball hit the stumps.
Scott Boland was bowling the 13th over of the innings and Elgar was facing the very first ball. He bowled a back of a length delivery to the batter and Elgar defended it near his feet. The ball rolled back gently onto the stumps and just clipped them. However, there was no pace on the ball and the bails were not dislodged as a result.
Twitteratis were quick to notice the incident and expressed their sentiments on social media as Elgar continued his innings as a stroke of luck favoured him.
Full of fortune

Bit of nibble
Scott Boland is remarkable. Nothing fancy, just a consistent line and length with a bit of nibble either way.
