Corbin Bosch century and five-fer
The South African allrounder Corbin Bosch has etched his name into cricket history. In a stunning performance against Zimbabwe, Bosch achieved a rare double — a century with the bat and a five-wicket haul with the ball — in the same Test match.
This feat places him in an elite club of South African greats who have managed the same achievement in men’s Test cricket.Bosch’s maiden five-for helps Africa to complete huge win over Zimbabwe.
Joins Elite List in Test History
Only three other South African players have ever accomplished this double:
Jimmy Sinclair (1899)
Aubrey Faulkner (1910)
Jacques Kallis (1999 & 2002)
And now, in 2025, Corbin Bosch joins this historic list.
His all-round performance not only stunned Zimbabwe but also gave the Proteas a massive edge in the match.
Heroic Effort With Bat and Ball
Bosch struck a fluent century in the lower order, rescuing South Africa from a tricky situation. He then followed it up with a brilliant five-wicket haul, breaking Zimbabwe’s middle order apart. His effort was a perfect blend of determination, skill, and game awareness — showing he belongs at the top level.
What This Means for South Africa
With Jacques Kallis no longer around, South Africa has longed for a true red-ball allrounder. Bosch’s performance shows he might just be the answer. He provides balance, stability, and versatility — a dream combination for any Test team. This match could be the turning point in Bosch’s international career, and perhaps in South Africa’s future Test plans.
Bosch Performance is for the Ages
Achieving this milestone in his Test debut series makes the feat even more special. With this record-breaking outing, Corbin Bosch has not only made headlines — he has created a legacy. His name now stands tall beside the legends of South African cricket.
