In a glorious all-round show that set the cricketing world alight, Corbin Bosch scripted a chapter in the record books by becoming the first South African cricketer since 23 years to slam a ton and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test. His efforts with bat and ball arrived during South Africa’s recent Test against Zimbabwe, in which he produced a display that will remembered for some time to come.
More known for his ability with the ball, Bosch surprised many with the bat to score a chanceless and rock-solid 110 that provided the base for South Africa’s first innings.But it didn’t stop there. With ball in hand, he dismantled Zimbabwe’s batting lineup, ending with figures of 5 for 51, a spell that helped his side seize control of the match. His performance recalled the golden days of South African greats like Jacques Kallis, who last achieved a similar feat over two decades ago.
But what makes Bosch’s “impossible” feat even more extraordinary is that he did it in his second Test appearance, showing a maturity beyond his years. His century was his first in international cricket and his five wickets let it be known to both the selectors and the public at large that Corbin Bosch is here to stay and that he is no mere slogger.

Keep going like this and he is not far away from the South African XI. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball not only makes the side flexible, it also provides food for thought for aspiring allrounders, who can take hope from his achievements.
