When we beat India on Saturday it was a great day for a team that were derided as chokers. And to make things worse, Morné van Wyk dropped three catches, including Virender Sehwag when he was on four. People said he looked as if he was asleep. But it turned out he was.

Proteas spokesman, Lerato Malekutu, confirmed on Tuesday that van Wyk accidentally took a sleeping pill that he thought was a vitamin pill. But by the time this was realised, the game had started and van Wyk was left to battle the Zzzs alone.

I think he’s a great batsman and keeper, so I was relieved when he put in a good performance yesterday against Ireland, scoring 42 runs and taking a great catch. All this, and he managed to stay awake long enough to finish the game.
