Pathetic you say? Since India, Aus and England decided to only give crumbs to the rest of the established test playing countries, it is only natural that interest would have dwindled. Over the years South Africa have produced some of the finest cricketers who would have been holders of test records had we had the opportunity to play as much as the so-called big 3 had.
I was a big believer when I coached at SRH and SEC that we should buy Duan Jansen to join his brother Marco.
Seeing the 2 of them together off the field always led me to believe that they’d get the best of one another when paired together, not separated.
I’m so pleased to see that happen today.
Granted it doesn’t guarantee success today, but over time, you’ll reap the rewards.
Well done boys!
🚨Usman Nurmagomedov has been saving this one for Jon Jones ever since Jones celebrated his brother getting knocked out with Song Yadong 😂

HAVE THE BOKS REACHED THEIR LIMIT?
Strange take from Jeff Wilson: the Boks have reached their ceiling and there isn’t much left to improve.
But look at what’s actually happening.
The attack is evolving. New players are being integrated. .
Morné van den Berg. Ethan Hooker. Cameron Hanekom. Kwagga Smith. Frans Malherbe. RG Snyman all either developing, pushing for their place, or coming back from injury.
And those are just the names already knocking on the door.
You don’t reach your ceiling when your next generation is still breaking into the team. We’re nowhere near it.
In fact, I think the scary part for everyone else is how much better this team could still become.
Do you agree have the Boks reached their limit, or is there still another level to come?
