Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>GUWAHATI – South Africa’s towering pace bowler Marco Jansen said on Monday his plan to bounce out India worked wonders after his figures of 6-48 put the visitors in sight of a historic Test series win.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot 8-inch (2.03 metres) tall Jansen, a left-arm quick, helped bundle out India for 201 in response to South Africa’s 489 on day three in Guwahati.<\/p>\n

After winning the first Test in the two-match series in Kolkata, South Africa are closing on a first series win in India since Hansie Cronje’s team triumphed in 2000.<\/p>\n

South African spinners dismissed India’s top three before Jansen took charge to get key wickets with the bouncer and reduce India to 122-7.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, we just said we’re going to try it,” Jansen told reporters.<\/p>\n

“The ball wasn’t nipping as much like in Kolkata, the ball wasn’t squatting as much, so we had to figure out a plan and I think when I got my first wicket with a bouncer we said, okay cool, let’s see how long this is going to work for and it just came off.”<\/p>\n

Jansen, who claimed his fourth five-wicket haul across 21 Tests, said: “It’s a good wicket, there’s good pace, good bounce. If you play the short ball well, you’ll score runs. If you bowl well, you’ll get wickets.”<\/p>\n

Jansen sent back Dhruv Jurel, who fell to a pull shot on the short ball for an 11-ball duck.<\/p>\n

Jansen then bowled a rising delivery to Nitish Kumar Reddy, who attempted to fend it away, but Aiden Markram took a stunning diving catch from second slip.<\/p>\n

Ravindra Jadeja fell to another bumper from Jansen as India slumped further, and later the lanky quick wrapped up the opposition innings in 83.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Jansen, who played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League T20 tournament, said his latest performance is a coming of age on how to bowl on Indian pitches.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always struggled bowling in India, whether it was white ball or red ball,” Jansen said with a grin.<\/p>\n

“I’m still jealous of people that get the ball to squat and nip back, and bowlers who are shorter than me like KG,” he added, referring to Kagiso Rabada.<\/p>\n

“Today was just one of those days I got the pace and the bounce out of the wicket, and where everything clicks and everything works and as a player. Those days you take it and you run.”<\/p>\n

Jansen stepped up to the challenge of being the team’s pace spearhead after Rabada missed the two matches due to a rib injury he suffered ahead of the opener.<\/p>\n

He said: “Not having KG there definitely adds a bit of responsibility and pressure”.<\/p>\n

“But we know we have the bowlers. We know we have the players in the squad to help the team win.”<\/p>\n
