Warner moves to 39 and the Aussies are 1-57.Nortje finds Labuschagne’s outside edge, it goes through the slip cordon at a catchable height, but frustratingly for South Africa, it goes between third slip and fine gully and races away for four.Labuschagne is on strike, and Warner is down the other end.South African quick Marco Jansen spoke to Channel Seven before the start of play...
Q: South Africa desperately needed a partnership yesterday and Marco you helped to provide that. Congratulations on your maiden Test 50. Can you sum up the significance of that for you as the all-rounder in this side? A: For me personally it gives me a lot of confidence because obviously as a batter or bowler, whether you take wickets or score runs, it gives you confidence going into the next innings or the next game or whatever. So for me personally that helped me a lot mentally and confidence-wise, to go out next time, sort of having that belief that I can do it. So, yeah.
Q: Your height is obviously a great attribute for you when it comes to your bowling. First of all, what is your official height? Because I have seen various numbers.Q: With the height, when it comes to your bowling it is a great attribute. What challenges does it also bring in terms of fitness, physique, the danger of stress factors?
A: For each bowler it is different. For me personally it is about getting my core quite strong and my glutes and my legs and that sort of stuff quite strong and I have been focusing lately on my shoulder strength, upper body. Because all those things come into play. But mainly your core. If your core is strong then you will be able to manage the loads because when your front foot lands it is quite a bit of loading going into the body.
