BALL-TAMPERING INCIDENT SURELY the Australian bowlers knew that the ball was being tampered with and that was why they were getting reverse swing? The team as a whole were involved and are nothing but a bunch of cheats. OBSERVER THE Proteas captain is also a cheat. He was fined for ball tampering vs Pakistan in 2013, also vs Australia in 2016 plus Vernon Philander was found guilty of ball tampering vs Sri Lanka in 2014.

DESIRE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE HEARINGS ZUKISWA Rantho, if you and your team don’t do what you are supposed to do, you will get threats daily because Dudu Myeni, Duduzane Zuma and the Guptas are [each] one of your own. It’s a waste of time to say it. FUZELA LEARN FROM CHINA

LAND invasions: SA should learn from China, that curbed the population explosion and became a productive nation. SC

LOTS OF BEER “BEER made in PE for Germans” (March 26): a full ton of beer? Is that 1 000 litres or a ton? ALAN
