If Kagiso Rabada were a little older but not quite as wise, or the WACA pitch a little flatter but with not quite as much carry, South Africas 21-year old bowling superstar may not have had the success he did. But youth and circumstance allowed him to prove himself a champion bowler, in the words of his captain Faf du Plessis, and bowl a 10-man South Africa side to the unlikeliest of victories.I am incredibly proud of KG. He just wanted the ball, du Plessis said. Every time I said, Are you tired?, he said, No, youre not taking the ball out of my hand. Thats the sign of a champion bowler for me. He wants to be in the fight the whole time.Rabada bowled 51 overs in the match, almost ten more than his seam-bowling partner Vernon Philander. In the second innings, his twin spells of eight overs at the beginning and end of the day broke the back of Australias attempt to save the match. If that wasnt enough, he returned on the final morning for six more overs of high quality to complete a five-for. In all that, Rabada never thought it was getting too much.It was challenging but Ive done this before, at Kent. There are flat wickets there. At least here the ball is bouncing now, Rabada said. Ive got that experience in my body but I am young. If I was older, I dont know if Id have done that much.The pick of Rabadas efforts came late in the afternoon on the penultimate day. Despite flagging energy, his speeds were above 140, the line was perfect outside off stump and the movement he generated made wickets inevitable. First Steven Smith fell and then Rabada produced a near-perfect over to Adam Voges.I enjoyed that over, with a new batter coming in and the ball reversing nicely, Rabada said. I was feeling my best rhythm. Sometimes you get a wicket exactly how you want it and this was one of those times.At four down overnight, there was some talk of an early finish but Rabada entered the day aware that it might get long. Two things could have happened: either we would have cleaned them up before lunch and wed have been done or this would have happened where we had to wait until tea time. If it does happen, great. If it doesnt you have to keep on persisting and hitting your straps and thats what we did. South Africas determination stemmed from a desire to translate their success in the home ODIs against the same opposition into the longer format. It was important coming here after what weve done in the one-dayers to back it up with Tests, du Plessis said. You like to start well and open up those wounds again.Rabada is being spoken about as the new spearhead, especially with Dale Steyn out for at least the next six months, but it is not a label he wants. I dont see myself being the leader of the attack. Every player has a job to do, Rabada said. You have a responsibility to make sure you produce the goods for your country. Youve got a job to do, its a passion and you do it for your team-mates and the people back home. No one wants to lose, right? So you have to try to do everything you can to win.Sharing the burden is a theme South Africa want to build on, not just in the bowling department. With AB de Villiers out of the series, the rest have had to rally. In this Test, JP Duminys return to form, batting at No.4, was particularly pleasing for South Africa especially as there was pressure on him to keep his place.The extra responsibility on JP is something he has really enjoyed. He looked really confident, du Plessis said. He was practising well. His body language was positive. Its not a guarantee but its a sign and I felt JPs cricket was about to turn in a positive way. He has played really well. Thats one of his best knocks he has ever played. He moved brilliantly. Even throwing the ball to him now, I know he is so confident. Its great for his future in the game.With so much going their way, South Africa will celebrate in Perth tonight but not like they would have celebrated before. In 2012, the series was done. Now, the series has just started and they know they have a long way to go. Its important to celebrate games like this. Every time you win a Test you must celebrate, du Plessis said. But we also know weve got one step in the right direction but we are very far from winning the series. T.J. Hockenson Youth Jersey . The phone hearing is scheduled for 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt.

Jahlani Tavai Lions Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.shopdetroitlionsnfl.com/lions-jarrad-davis-black-jersey/ . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. Austin Bryant Jersey . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off.

Ishant Sharma, Indias most-experienced fast bowler in the squad of 17 for the four-Test series in the West Indies, has accepted that his performances in the shorter formats havent been good enough, but thinks Test cricket is his strength.You have to be honest with yourself, thats the most important thing. If you are being honest with yourself its easy to accept things. I know that I didnt do well in the shorter formats of the game, so I accepted it. But I am doing well in Test cricket so I know what my strength is, he told BCCI.tv after Indias two-day practice fixture against WICB Presidents XI in Basseterre.Ishant, who last played a Twenty20 international three years ago, said little down time between formats had made it all the more challenging for him to adapt. If you are playing all formats of the game, its very difficult to think whats going wrong for you and whats going right for you, he said. Its very difficult as you have [a] very short time to understand all these things. I know I didnt do well in T20s. I think everybody has their strengths. I always believe in that, and there is no harm to accept that thing.Ishant, who was Man of the Series during Indias tour of the West Indies in 2011 - 22 wickets in three Tests - also stressed on the need for communication with the other pacers to benefit thhe team.ddddddddddddI am sharing my experiences and hoping that what worked for me also works for them, he said. But then they have to also identify their areas of strength because everybody has their own strengths. Bhuvis [Bhuvneshwar Kumar] strength is swing but he cant extract the bounce like I can do. Similarly, I cant get the ball to swing like him.Ishant agreed with the general perception of Caribbean surfaces being slower than usual, but said that was no excuse to stop trying, and the key was to be relentless in attack.You have to work hard enough even if conditions are not favourable, he said. It is easy to give up and say theres nothing in the wicket so spinners will do the job and we [fast bowlers] will only try to hit the areas. But you should back yourself and go flat out. I like to go flat out whether it is my second or third spell. If I am playing I give my 100%. That makes me a different bowler.The conditions are very challenging. Its pretty hot out there, so you need to look after yourself properly. And obviously the time difference, its totally a different time zone and you need to be mindful of that as well, especially when you are playing four Test matches. ' ' '
