20 y.o. Kagiso Rabada took 7/112 and 6/32 against England in the 4th. Test.
It was only his 6th. Test.
His 6/32 in the Poms' second innings was spectacular. England all out 101, to lose by 280 runs.
Rabada's figures (13/144) are the second-best for South Africa in Test history. Only Makhaya Ntini, who took 13 for 132 against West Indies in Port of Spain in 2004-05, has had better match figures than Rabada for South Africa. The last time any bowler had better figures against England was in 1998, when Muttiah Muralitharan took 16 for 122 at The Oval. Rabada also bettered Mitchell Johnson's 12 for 127, which was the record for best match figures in Centurion.
Only one bowler has taken 13 or more wickets in a Test at a younger age than Rabada.
He is also the seventh-youngest to take five-wicket hauls in both innings of a Test. _________________ Donny.
