@goolamv Our paths crossed occasionally when he was ANC Chief Whip. We had a little ritual. I'd greet him with "Mr Chief Whip," and he'd bow his head slightly and respond with, "Mi'lady." I always found him a true gentlemen.
@ProteasWomenCSA Not great opposition,but we can see SA is much more balanced with Dané at 4. Wolfvaardt, Britz, Luus, Dané, Kapp, Tryon, Nadine, Jafta, Klaas, Khaka, Mlaba. 3 of the top 7 are frontline bowlers, Luus can spin,& we get to pick 3 more bowlers. No more Bosch and Dercksen experiments
Fantastic run chase by the Proteas. So glad Maharaj kept his head right at the end. Corbin Bosch must be the find of the season. A man that knows and trusts his game, Bosch has had a remarkable 2025. Kudos to Conrad for roping in a veteran international newbie. #INDvSA
@ProteasMenCSA Neither Stubbs nor Markram has any idea of where their off stump is. The Proteas got lucky that for two days in June, Markram inexplicably found it, and we won the WTC.
@Trishen_C@ProteasMenCSA Agreed. Make Rickleton keep and pick another batsman. The way Verreynne stabs at everything with hard hands way in front of his body makes him a walking wicket in these conditions anyway, even if he doesn't throw his wicket away like he did this afternoon.
@ProteasMenCSA What in the actual fcuk was that? Nobody except for Bavuma looked like they were willing to protect their wickets. Some good balls, yes, but what were especially Verreynne & Jansen thinking trying to smash every ball in the fading light? Should've sent Harmer in at 7 to stonewall
@SuperSportTV Dire "batting." Nobody except for Bavuma looked like they were willing to protect their wickets. Some good balls, yes, but what in the actual fcuk were especially Verreynne and Jansen thinking trying to smash every ball in the fading light? Brain dead batting.
@ProteasWomenCSA For the love of god, please shelf the reverse sweep. Value your wickets. We cannot afford to get three players bowled off poorly executed reverse sweeps again today.
@ProteasWomenCSA Oh, FFS. Can someone send the message to management to get Dercksen out of the inner ring. England has 24 runs. She has dived over 10 of those runs.
@ProteasWomenCSA This display just shows the difference in class between Australia & England & the rest. Then you look at how easily Australia got past England after also wobbling at 68/4, & you have to admit Australia is a class above.Even so, as sort of the best of the rest,this is humiliating.
