"You're absolutely shit," England's Ben Stokes told Temba Bavuma yesterday when the latter edged one of his deliveries down leg for four. The mishit took Bavuma to eight not out. You wonder what Stokes thinks of him now that he owns his first Test century, an undefeated 102 off 148 balls. In Bavuma's home town, Langa, just 10km from Newlands but a world away, the celebrations are probably still booming.As are all South African supporters - the redemptive cricket their team have played has been more valuable than winning. England reached stumps on 16 without loss in their second innings - a lead of 18.That's after Hashim Amla declared SA's first innings closed on 627/7, which they scored in reply to England's 629/6.To create a contest from here, on a still sound surface, will demand a brand of bowling even an experienced SA attack would struggle to deliver. The draw that is likely is, for SA, like eating your recommended annual allowance of steamed broccoli in one sitting: not much fun but good for you.At 1.67m tall, Bavuma has looked up at challenges for most of his 25 years. His partner, Chris Morris (who hit 69), all 1.93m of him, has bowled rather than batted his way to success in this, his Test debut. There are 26cm and all sorts of other separation between them. But, yesterday, they were brothers. In this of all weeks, with racism on the beaches and stupidity on social media, South Africans could finally smile. ..
