Gooch said Amla deserves the plaudits for his outstanding innings. “I thought it was a wonderful effort,” he said.
“To score runs you need a great attitude, a good technique, good knowledge and above all spot-on concentration.u00a0“I think he showed all four things. He’s got a good range of shot, and a great temperament.”u00a0
