Proteas will chase spectators away

-

With all the brouhaha surroundin­g Cricket South Africa I hesitate to ask, but is the present Protea team the best SA can muster?

Tuesday’s T20 game was a walk in the park for England, who didn’t even raise a sweat. If this game took place in the US, the CNN headline would have read: “De Kock chews while Proteas wilt.” The game was as exciting as a tortoise’s birthday party. Even Tiddlywink­s is more exciting and competitiv­e.

Two English players taking on the might of South Africa.

I certainly hope that the forthcomin­g ODIs will be more entertaini­ng and exciting otherwise the stands, as empty as they are now, will be just as empty if and when the pandemic ban is lifted. John
