Colin Ingram has a solid technique and balances the ability to smash boundaries with the astuteness of taking singles well. He is a beautiful driver of the ball and is strong on both sides of the wicket. Also a handy fielder, he can bat higher up in the order if needed and filled in for Jacques Kallis at number three in the past. He scored a century in his ODI debut, the first South African to do, to announce himself on the international stage in emphatic fashion. After just five matches he had scored two hundreds and although he has not had any other notable innings, he has shown enough talent to suggest that there are many more strong performances waiting to come.
Strengths
