Loading ...I saw this photo on cricinfo, it’s a wondrous pic. I just wish the shot was a little bit higher so I could see the look on the face of the SA there. Like “faaaaaaark”.
Bollocks to the side strain: give me the ball
By Will 2 years ago, mid-January Add your comment below
South Africa won the first one-dayer against West Indies by six wickets today in Centurion. You can tell by that sentence how excited I was by the game, but the dullness was enlivened dramatically by the most stunning of caught-and-bowleds from Dwayne Bravo. He has a side strain and was not, by his own admission, expected to bowl for another two weeks. But balls to that, he thought, and on he trundled.
He found one to bounce on Justin Ontong who was squared up, fending it up in the air about a metre from his crease. Somehow, Bravo sprinted down the pitch, dived, clung on with both hands with the ball just a few inches off the turf. A brilliant piece of fielding, of spirit in adversity, of courage – and of captaincy.
