LONDON: South Africa spinner Imran Tahir is confident the oval proves to be a hunting ground when the Proteas take to England at the headquarters of London during the first test next week.
The victory of any kind in the series three games to see tourists replace England as part of the world, senior test and Pakistan, was born leg-spinner Tahir, a naturalized citizen of South Africa, which could have a trump card.
The 33-year-old, who has played for four English counties, particularly in Hampshire, took four for 31 as South Africa, fired 210 of Kent on the first day of the three days of match preparation in Canterbury, south-east London, on Friday.
"I'm sure when the time comes, I'm really up to him," said Tahir, whose 18 wickets in seven tests to date have reached an average of $ 37.05 each."I played a match at the oval, and is much - especially in the second innings -. So I'm looking forward to"But while he has confused many hitters in the county, Tahir expected a tougher challenge against world class batsmen in England.
"I have variations, but depends on how you use them," he said.
"They're good players, so I have to wait for the right time, and I hope to get a reward for that. Going to be a good challenge for me."
However, while Tahir could aspire to the first test, South Africa lost another player in the first week of his tour due to injury on Friday Fast bowler Marchant de Lange suffered a lower back problem during the three Twenty20 series in Zimbabwe last month and has not recovered. Albie Morkel will be replaced.
Unlike veteran wicket-keeper Mark Boucher, who suffered an international career-eye injury on Tuesday, Lange was not a first choice player and was expected to appear only on the evidence, if one of the seam trio Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander were left out.
