In the test match that immediately followed one of cricket’s biggest scandals, Australia thought they had caught out the Proteas.
Imagine spending your entire life dreaming of wearing your country’s colours, and then getting a first-baller on debut. You may only ever get one more bite at the cherry, so you need to shine.
The Proteas’ poor on-field performances have been mirrored by some dire decision-making off it, and Cricket South Africa has some very tough questions to answer.
Getting a ticket for the New Year’s test match against the Poms was no easy feat, although the travelling English fans seemed to manage just fine.
This weekend, the full extent of Cricket South Africa’s woeful administration was laid bare for all to see. If you’re hoping Graeme Smith will save the day, think again.
If you thought watching the Proteas suffer through the ignominy of their early World Cup exit was bad, wait until you see what comes next.
In his first public statement since news broke about his potential inclusion in the Proteas’ World Cup squad, AB de Villiers is trying to set the record straight.
We will soon learn exactly what actions Cricket Australia takes against their cheats, but inside sources paint a picture of a team in disarray.
There’s still a week until the third test kicks off at Newlands, but Vernon Philander’s late-night tweet is going to annoy the hell out of the Ozzies.
KG and Lungi may well be leading the Proteas bowling attack for many years to come, so it would help if the Ozzie media could tell the pair apart.
Everyone has seen the video of David Warner being restrained as the teams head to the changing rooms, but now we can see the exact moment things escalated.
Everyone knows that the Ozzies play test cricket to win, and they’re pretty good at doing just that. As for David Warner? Well, take a look for yourself.
When the Ozzies racked up a mammoth total last night, it looked like they’d waltz home to victory, I think we need to relive just what went down in Durban.
Sometimes when the wheels come off they really do come off. One look at the latest in a long line of blunders for this chap and all isn’t well.
It’s a question that has been on many people’s lips this past weekend, but thus far everyone is remaining silent. We have an idea or two.
It appears getting a cricketer to underperform doesn’t come cheap, Gulam Bodi tempting players with massive offers of cash.
The wounds are still raw following the Proteas semi-final defeat in the World Cup last month. Now we have proof that the team which took the field came about from political meddling.
If you don’t have anything nice to say then shut your pie hole and say nothing, right? We’re not exactly firm believers in that mindset, but we wish our Minister of Sports was.
No doubt you’re well aware that South Africa is in search of redemption after being on the receiving end of a drubbing in the first test against Pakistan. In that spirit, the proteas have started the second test strongly, getting Pakistan all out for 99 runs. And get this, Imran Tahir picked up five wickets for 32 runs. Mental. Get up to speed with the highlights, here.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if Cricket South Africa came to the party early and extended Gary Kirsten’s contract as national coach? There’s no guarantee that they will.
