South African pace bowler Lungi Ngidi has hailed the potential of West Indies debutant Jayden Seales who claimed a hat-trick on debut for the regional team earlier this.

The West Indies have had a mediocre start to the first Test, with the young bowler’s performance on the first day, where he claimed 3 for 34 one of the few highlights of the match so far.

Ngidi, who himself lit up the first day for South Africa after claiming a sensational 5 for 19, insisted that he had so far been impressed with the young bowler’s talent.

"He is a bit of a danger and a very exciting future lies ahead for West Indies with him in the line-up," Ngidi told members of the media.

What is a hat-trick in bowling terms? Embarrassing really.

Embarrassing is a major understatement.

Ranks up there with a CWI CEO while on BBC said for all the world to
hear WI got first inning points from India.

I too was impressed with Seales.

Note to bowling coach.

A man turning a ball so much, needed to pitch the ball up to get more success.
You can't be afraid of being driven.

That's a risk needed taking.
His balls needed to pitch closer to batsmen
to encourage them to drive and take edges.
Too many balls were short giving batters time to see the away swing.
Furthermore, he did not bowl enough straight balls.

The beauty of bowling is deception.
Marshall would pitch 5 balls in the same area,
with the first 4 turning one way,
then the 5th doing something different.

But I'm not a bowling coach.
