Quick hits: AFL star in the sheds as Aussies go better than Bradman
Matt Renshaw and Nathan Lyon outdo Sir Donald Bradman while Gold Coast Suns AFL star Noah Anderson watches on from the stands. Here are the quick hits from day two of the first Test between Australia and South Africa.
On the second day of the first Test between Australia and South Africa, Matt Renshaw and Nathan Lyon set a new ninth-wicket partnership record by a large margin. Renshaw, who had been Test century-less for nine years and nine months, scored an immaculate 190 runs, while Lyon contributed 27. The pair surpassed all-time greats Ian Meckiff and Ken McKay, as well as the legendary Sir Donald Bradman, in their 134-run stand.
This remarkable comeback, where Australia recovered from 6-124 to 390, was the best rebuild since 1925. In an unexpected twist, Gold Coast Suns AFL star Noah Anderson, who was traveling with the team as part of a leadership fact-finding mission, was spotted watching the innings from the stands.
