The build-up of South Africa vs England

South Africa game for their rivals, and inner demons

 

 19, 7, 71, 0 and 13 are AB de Villiers’s knocks in the last five T20I — not formidable by his standards. However, de Villiers’s (R) record at Wankhede is quite sensational. (Source: PTI)

“YES, THERE’S goosebumps in my arms here while you are speaking. You are speaking good things.” David Miller is not exaggerating. He’s actually looking at and stroking his right forearm as he tells you this. The topic is one that is familiar to every Protean who’s been part of a World Cup squad in the last 15 years, or maybe every South African who has anything to do with cricket. Why do they fall at the final hurdle in these big events despite coming in with a lofty rating?

England must have more players in the IPL: Buttler

Severely bruised after slumping to a crushing defeat at the hands of West Indies, England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler on Thursday said it is important that more English cricketers play in the Indian Premier League in order to do well in mega-events like World Twenty20.
