It may be too early to say Temba Bavuma has played himself back into form‚ but his 180 for the Lions against the Dolphins in Pietermaritzburg can't be scoffed at.

"It was a good wicket that deteriorated quite quickly‚ but it was a good wicket that required good plans against the spinners‚” Bavuma said.

I'm someone who has been trying to rack up those big scores. The opportunity was there today and I was able to grab it with both hands.”It's a tricky one‚ considering he made 17 in the first innings before batting with an assured vengeance in the second.
