South Africa century-maker Dean Elgar said on Wednesday that his animated celebrations upon reaching 100 against India on the second day of the first Test were due to him finally getting his name on the honours board that is mounted on the interior of the Centurion home changeroom.
Elgar, who plays his domestic cricket for the Centurion-based Northerns Titans, ended the second day on 140 not out – his first Test century at his home ground.
It was an innings which showed brilliant composure on a testing pitch, and skill when it came to punishing loose deliveries.
It included 23 fours and came off just 211 deliveries before depraved light stopped play with South Africa 256 for five, leading by 11 runs in the first innings.
The left-hander, who retires after this two-Test series, previously scored home Test centuries in Cape Town and Gqeberha (two each), Durban, Potchefstroom, Bloemfontein and Johannesburg so he was delighted to complete the set.
