Amla resigns: Twitter reaction

January 6, 2016
Hashim Amla

Reaction from around the cricketing world on Hashim Amla’s resignation as Test captain of South Africa.

Respect @amlahash …

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) January 6, 2016

If a player is weighed under by captaincy he is better off not doing it. Tough call for @amlahash. Has to be @ABdeVilliers17 now I guess. — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) January 6, 2016

All the #Amla detractors who were so disgraceful in your comments and views just 48hours ago just retweet #sorry#

— Gary Gold (@GaryGoldrugbyiq) January 5, 2016

Good luck to @ABdeVilliers17 as he takes up the captaincy baton. Sure he will relish the challenge and be a great ambassador as was Hash. — Pat Symcox (@PatSymcox77) January 6, 2016

So many thoughts & theories in my head on why Amla quit captaincy & AB has to take it. But as someone who really likes Proteas, I’m scared. — Shirin Sadikot (@ShirinSadikot) January 6, 2016

It takes great courage to stand up and say I am not good enough to captain South Africa #Respect #HashimAmla — Kass Naidoo (@KassNaidoo) January 6, 2016

Respect @amlahash …

Can’t see it affecting SA negatively. AB a stronger leader and very astute cricketer and they now have a liberated Amla in good form. — Jonathan Agnew (@Aggerscricket) January 6, 2016

Quitting is never easy. The decision to quit is even harder. #Amla deserves greater respect for all his contribution to @OfficialCSA — Anjum Chopra (@chopraanjum) January 6, 2016

Alastair Cook reacts to the news that Hashim Amla has stepped down as captain of South Africa. #bbccricket pic.twitter.com/FrZq7i0mPJ — Test Match Special (@bbctms) January 6, 2016

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) January 6, 2016

Amla on talk he was forced into role in the first place: “You don’t look like me in this world without being firm in what you want to do.” — Ali Martin (@Cricket_Ali) January 6, 2016

Just look at Hashim Amla’s reaction!! Absolute bullshit! @followthebounce @SACricketmag #Amla #AmlaStepsDown pic.twitter.com/lAgk47M7Z7 — Adriaan de la Rey (@Adriaan_delaRey) January 6, 2016

South Africa captain resigns during series against England. Are we sure they’ve got this the right way round? — mike selvey (@selvecricket) January 6, 2016

My humble opinion is that # Amla is a ‘leader’ but perhaps not a ‘captain’ if that makes sense… Utmost respect for his decision! #Amla ?? — Dave Nosworthy (@DONCRICKET) January 6, 2016
