Simon Harmer was in tears when he was asked to share some tips with the younger bowlers. In most of the cases, a bowler well over his thirty, consider to take retirement from international cricket. Harmer is the latest example who has proved that age is just a number.
At the match presentation ceremony, with the Player of the Match trophy in hand, Simon Harmer might have had some flashes of his past years, which were full of struggles and uncertainties. He held back his tears before passing tips to the emerging players.
Simon Harmer explains his performance vs Australia
The spinner took 6 wickets in the second innings of the match to dismantle the Australian batting order. In the first innings, he got four. Taking wickets against the experienced players of the game was never an easy task. The South African spinner did that precisely as he knew how to deal with the pressure of expectations and to understand what he actually needed to do to take the team forward.
The Cape Town wicket was a bit slow from the start, but that did not help the spinners with extra spin. Harmer mentioned that on the fourth and fifth day of the match, there was not enough support from the pitch.
