Surrey vs gloucestershire super over
He is a right-arm fast bowler and tail-end right-handed batsman and was called up to the South Africa squad from relative obscurity and little first-class experience for the series against Sri Lanka. De Lange was drafted as a late replacement for Vernon Philander in the second test match against Sri Lanka and returned figures of 8/126 on Test debut, including 7/81 in the Sri Lankan first innings.[1] The figures are the best for any bowler in Test cricket in 2011.[2]
He is qualified to play in the English county cricket due to his British spouse.[3]
Playing style
de Lange is a tall right-arm fast bowler with an ability to gain swing and accuracy.
Prior to his cricketing career, de Lange was a javelin thrower hence his ability to attain such impressive pace around 145–150 km/h from a short run-up.
