Nortje is already a class above Ngidi to me.
But yes Ngidi will have to be fitter to even be their third pacer in fast bowling condtions.

The Babar wicket agains the run of play was crucial

If Pakistani batsmen have half a brain they will play Nortje respectfully here. Just get 40 odd from his 10 overs and dont give him a wicket.

Kolpak rule is finished now. There is no need for him to go down the route as he will play regularly for SA and will play in the IPL.

Has left Rabada way behind at the moment. Rabada looks like he is going through the motions with little or no passion in his bowling, whilst Nortje is all action.

KG just got overworked at a young age by a greedy CSA. Hes just bowled way too much at a high pace in all 3 formats and hes not even 26 and he has scoliosis of the back. Otherwise , hes clearly better than anyone else in SA. Until Coetzeee or someone comes up to the main team I suppose.

Maybe but his problem is his lengths and that's not the CSA problem. He bowls a comfortable length which doesn't go for runs but hardly threatens for a bowler of his ability. Broad and Anderson had the same problem for 2 or 3 years and it was only after the Sky Sports commentary team called them out that they changed.
Quality. Shame Pakistan never produce bowlers like this who can extract good bounce from a length.
Our guys are generally short and skiddy and reliant on movement through the air.
Hope he stays fit and his workload properly managed.

Both bowl at the same sort of pace

Not possible post brexit.
Financial incentives were the main reason south Africans went for kolpak.
His ipl contract means his finances are covered and he will have no problems playing for South Africa.

The benchmark of IPL is so high that a bowler of Anrich Nortje quality doesn't get to play in IPL even though he and five over South African players which includes greats like Rabada and de Kock dumped the Pakistan T20 series for the same and the board also allowed them.
Talks about the ethics of CSA board. They didn't allowed AB to come back but allowed five players to go for IPL after calling the Pakistan team to South Africa for T20 series. Ultimately, in both situations, they were the ones who suffered the most.

Stop building castles in the air.
Anrich Nortje tested COVID positive on arrival to India, and this is the main reason that he isn't being considered to be a part of the playing XI.
COVID must have weakened him and that is why he isn't being selected, once fit he will be back again.

South Africa pacer Anrich Nortje is one of the fastest bowlers going around the world as he has the ability to hit the 150kmph mark consistently. The pacer has taken three wickets so far in the ongoing five-match T20I series against India and is one of the main bowlers in the South African attack. The visitors are currently leading the five-match series 2-1 and a day prior to the fourth T20I in Rajkot, Nortje talked about comparisons with Indian speedster Umran Malik and how his focus remains on winning games for the team rather than competing to bowl the fastest ball.
"Yeah, at this stage, I am not bothered about who is the fastest (bowler). Not really bothered about it who is the fastest and what the speed gun is, it is about contributing for the team. When I do train, when I am not playing, you obviously think about how can you get fast with the way you train, whatever you are doing. In the back of my mind, it would be something I will keep on striving towards but it is not something I think about when I go to the field," said Nortje during a press conference on Thursday.
"Umran Malik very good bowler, very fast bowler. He has shown what he can do. If he gets faster, great for him. If I get faster, great for me. I do not think we are at the stage where we are competing to bowl the fastest ball, it is about winning games and trying to contribute," he added.
The 28-year-old also said that he is not 100 per cent yet but is slowly getting there. He also said how his recovery period will help him stay in good stead going ahead.
"No. Not yet. Still working on it, still trying to find out one or two things. And body-wise, just getting there. It is about slowly increasing and slowly building it up. Not 100 per cent there where I want to be. I probably rate myself from where I was last year, end of IPL, the start of World Cup so still trying to get there," said Nortje.
"It is hard because some of the stuff is limited, some of the bowling is limited. You cannot always go out there and bowl 8-9 overs a day, so it is very limited. But so far, it has been a good challenge, it is something that will help me in the future. If there are any niggles or injuries going forward, some important things to take out from this," he added.
When asked about the Proteas bench strength, Nortje said: "I think everyone has been in good sort of form, everyone has been either playing in the IPL or training quite hard back home. It is nice to see that the guys who are on the bench are really almost performing better than the guys on the pitch at some stage. It would be really good to see when they get an opportunity, and how they go. I think Lungi Ngidi has not played for a long time, so excited to see if they go get an opportunity and how they go whenever they get an opportunity."

What the stupid comparison!
Nortje regularly plays for SA, here Umran can't get a game over BK Patel etc.
And going by Ganguly's comments, he eont get a game for 6 months or so.

LONDON: Proteas fast bowler Anrich Nortje said he was just delighted to be back in Test cricket again after helping the Proteas secure a sensational first Test victory against England that came inside three days at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on Friday.
The Proteas produced one of their most emphatic bowling displays in recent memory to win by an innings and 12 runs at the ‘Home of Cricket’.
In a powerful performance, the Gbets Warriors paceman ended with a match haul of six for 100 – sharing 13 wickets with Player of the Match Kagiso Rabada (5/52 and 2/27).
The match was a first in the longest format for Nortje in 14 months after back and hip injuries hampered him over the past year.
“I’m really happy with the way things went,” the 28-year-old said after the game. “I didn’t expect it (the match to end so quickly) at all.
“I’m really happy to be bowling with the red ball again. I’m really excited to be with the team, it’s an unbelievable attack. KG did unbelievably well and well done to everyone for that. The guys have shown what they can do and everyone covers a different aspect in their own department and that’s really good, but for me I’m just pleased to be back in the red-ball set-up again.”
It was a proficient performance all-round by the South Africans, who bundled England out for scores of 165 and 149 in a mere 82.4 overs.
The result ended a four-match winning streak by the hosts, who will now be expected to bounce back strongly in the second Test.
But Nortje added: “We haven’t paid too much attention to what they want to do, we’re focused on ourselves. We’ll have to start from scratch for the next game and find the areas where we can improve. I do think there’s periods and areas and short stages where we lost a bit of momentum.
“So we’re not looking too much at them, we want to control what we can. Like they always say, control the controllables and not look too far ahead, just try and execute what we want to.”
Captain Dean Elgar, meanwhile, also hailed his team for their all-round professional performance.
“Everyone was brilliant,” he stated. “Sure there’s a few guys who had some great individual performances, but I think a lot of guys influenced in moments where there were pressure situations, be it a slip catch or a good stop that influenced the next ball where there was the outcome of a potential wicket.
“I think our batting was pretty solid, especially the middle to late order. They really came out and played the situation to a T. That’s the kind of awareness that I’m trying to create with the guys and they need to identify those moments and play the game as they see it. It’s the nature that needs to come and there’s lots of learnings still to come for everyone.
“But it was a great win. I didn’t wake up this morning (Friday) thinking that I’ll be doing a presser before five-o-clock. I definitely didn’t think that. So yes, it was a pretty special performance and a squad performance.”
“We need to enjoy the moment having achieved this feat at a really unique place, a sold-out Lord’s on a Friday, it’s pretty big and it’s special for a lot of guys who haven’t experience that before. So we’ll enjoy it for the next two days before we focus on the next Test.”
It was only England’s fourth ever innings defeat at Lord’s, the Proteas now being responsible for two of those thumping wins including the last one that came by Graeme Smith’s lead team in 2003.
Mark Boucher’s side, currently top of the ICC World Test Championship, will now take a 1-0 lead into the second match starting at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester next Thursday.

I think he is the best Test pacer in the world right now. Better than Starc, Shaheen, and Bumrah.

No He is not. Not close to Cummins/Bumrah. He averages like 179 in India. Sample is too small to make such a call. Rabada has done it over years. At this point Shardul Thakur has better average/strike rate than him if we use low sample.

Who cares about what he averages in India? Stats in India need to be taken with a pinch of salt. They mean nothing in the wider context of the game
Nortje is definitely a top class bowler and definitely one of the most entertaining to watch. His spells in this series so far have been mesmerising

He is a top class bowler. That is different from calling him the best in the world.
They mean alot. Alot actually. No one should rates foreign bowlers who don't perform in India and Pakistan. It matters. Matters alot.
Yea right. A guy who averages 100 plus in India is no where near the best bowler.
He bowled well in conditions he is familiar with.
Bumrah rabada and Cummins are well ahead.
Stop overrating him over a few performances vs england in English conditions.
Let him perform in Australia and India then we can have a chat.
He Is definitely well ahead of shaheen. That I agree with

But you will have to have the skill which Pakistani players including Babar doesn't posses. Babar looked like a tailender vs Wood in Karachi & Lahore imagine the things Wood, Nortje & Ferguson would do to Babar on these fast & bouncy wickets.

In the recent T20 series there was a tiff between Nortje and Isan Kishan. It followed Two disdainful sixes by Kishan against Nortje. If you meet at the right time you can smash.

Another fantastic performance today.
Just has one thing in mind and that is to get the batter out, irrespective of whether he goes for a few runs.
Turned the match against England completely around today with some great bowling.

White-ball head coach Rob Walter today confirmed that Anrich Nortje along with Sisanda Magala have been ruled out of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. Huge blow for South Africa before the world cup.

Huge setback for RSA. What's worse is that they've replaced Nortje and Magala with Phelukwayo and Lizaard Williams 
Wayne Parnell was a such a better option but probably wrong color. What disaster.

One of the many pacers who are going to miss the upcoming World Cup because of the injury. It will surely be a big blow to South Africa who rely so much on their pace bowling.

Even Nortje is performing well in USA, i think he owes it to pitch rather than his excellence. Haris Rauf of South Africa. His figures so far against Sri Lanka 1/1 in 1 over.

I don't read too much into his performance in the IPL on those steroid pitches. I think when it comes to the express fast-bowlers of the world (Rauf, Wood, Ferguson, Nortje), he is the best going around.

Anrich Nortje breaks records to bury Sri Lanka with pace-bowling masterclass
Never has a South African bowler returned such impressive figures at an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup as Anrich Nortje did in New York on Monday.
Nortje’s final figures against Sri Lanka in Nassau County were quite extraordinary:
Four wickets for just seven runs in four overs.
Those returns of 4/7 are the best figures ever recorded by a South African bowler at an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, eclipsing Nortje’s previous best of 4/10 against Bangladesh in Sydney in 2022.
Anrich Nortje produced a career-best performance in T20Is to help bowl Sri Lanka out for 77 and won the Player of the Match award.
Seven runs is also the fewest ever conceded by a South African man in a full allocation of four overs in a T20I.
And it is the fewest runs conceded across four overs by any bowler from any nation in the history of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
And Nortje's four-wicket haul, along with the efforts of the rest of the South African bowling attack, helped limit Sri Lanka to their lowest-ever score in a men’s T20 International, with their 77 all out proving to be five fewer than their previous lowest of 82 against India in 2016.
The story of Nortje's sublime spell
The Sri Lanka innings was already in trouble at 30/1 after seven overs when Nortje was introduced into the attack, and the right-arm pacer's arrival only increased the pressure on a struggling Lankan batting lineup.
Nortje struck with his fifth delivery, getting Kamindu Mendis (11) caught in the deep.
And by the time he had Kusal Mendis (19) caught off his twelfth delivery it was South Africa who were in complete control of the match, with the score at 40/5 at the midway point of the innings.

Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the remaining T20I and ODI series against Pakistan due to a fractured toe. Dayyaan Galiem will replace him for the upcoming matches.
As a Pakistan fan, this could be good news for us, as Nortje is a formidable bowler.

Proteas quick expects Lord's to favour his side in WTC Final
South Africa will face Australia in the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 at Lord’s starting on 11 June.
As the blockbuster clash between mace-holders Australia and South Africa draws near, interest in the cricketing world grows on how the two sides stack up before the final.
Versatile South Africa pacer Anrich Nortje only recently returned from a serious back injury when turning out in the Indian Premier League, but the 31-year-old has experience aplenty in the Proteas Test setup with 70 scalps from his 19 Tests.
While Nortje hasn't played a Test since 2023 having taken a break from the longest format last year, the fast bowler still managed to provide some insight into how he expects the one-off Test at Lord's will pan out.
Nortje gave a two-fold reason for expecting South Africa’s first ICC Men’s trophy since 1998 will come against Australia, with the right-armer indicating that playing in English conditions at Lord’s is something that the Proteas are well accustomed to.
South Africa have won five of their last seven contests at the iconic London venue, with their most recent success coming in form of an innings win against England in 2022.
“Lord's has been a good ground for South Africa. I think the team's done really well there over the past,” Nortje said in an interview with Hindustan Times.
“It's an exciting time. It's obviously a massive tournament and a massive opportunity for South Africa. So we're really excited to see how that can pan out.”
Nortje also looked at South Africa’s recent form in the Test arena, which saw them finish on top of the World Test Championship standings and become the first side to book their place in the one-off decider.
Since the away series loss to Australia in January 2023, South Africa have notched up five wins and a draw from their seven Test series, with the only loss coming in when an understrength team faced New Zealand away from home.
“The boys have been doing well over the last few years. The coach (Shukri Conrad) has really brought in some positive energy and changed a few things. But the way they've been playing, it's been brilliant to see everyone sort of chipped in," Nortje added.
“Everyone's performed different combinations at times. But everything's sort of been towards trying to win the games, which is what you want at the end of the day.”
Nortje was fairly excited about the Temba Bavuma-led side’s prospects against the Aussies next month.
“I think it's a really great team. And I'm really excited to see them lift the trophy," he added.
