Yorkshire offspinner Geoff Cope winds up ... he played three Tests for England, all in Pakistan in 1977-78, but twice had to re-model his action after being suspended in 1972 and again in 1978. And he was denied a Test hat-trick on debut when Mike Brearley recalled a batsman.

And they did it again! Absolutely walloped India in the second test to sweep the series! What an amazing performance from this South Africa team, and what fun it was to watch their offspinner in full flow. Test cricket remains glorious. #INDvSA 🏏
Congratulations, South Africa! What a fantastic performance by skipper Temba Bavuma and his spinners to beat India at home for the first time in 15y! Fantastic display of offspin bowling by Harmer. Lovely to see the world champions win this handily on a tricky pitch inside 3 days. #INDvSA 🏏
