Exuberance of youth

-

CAN the Proteas management please ask Imran Tahir to show Kagiso Rabada how to celebrate a wicket in an exuberant, joyous, uplifting way without the egotistica­l bad sportsmans­hip element that seems to be part of his make up?

Whether he actually brushed shoulders with (Steve) Smith is neither here nor there – he shouldn’t be anywhere near him.

Even the great Roger Federer used to smash his racquet in his youth, before he learned that greatness and good conduct are the perfect partnershi­p.

Hopefully, Rabada will grasp this too, rather than trying to remain within acceptable boundaries. Howard Lilenstein Plumstead
