Saffas who rocked and flopped at IPL auction
RYAN VREDE reflects on an eventful IPL auction for South Africans that saw a highly-ranked T20 batsman go for a bargain and a Proteas star snubbed.
Proteas wish list: 2021-22 season
RYAN VREDE looks at five Proteas issues that need to be resolved as a matter of urgency in the 2021-22 Test season.
The Proteas have a Malan problem
Janneman Malan is making consistent statements about his international white-ball competency that demands he be considered in the game’s shortest format. However, with six matches before the World Cup, when and where do you fit him in, asks RYAN VREDE.
Elgar-Markram partnership is broken and needs fixing
Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram go into a two-Test series against the Windies needing to rehabilitate an opening partnership that is rich in potential but lacks in consistency of delivery, writes RYAN VREDE.
Markram shines as Titans take control
Aiden Markram snapped a poor run of form, scoring a century for the Titans against the Warriors in Centurion.
Markram mirrors Amla
Aiden Markram’s slump in form will reveal whether he has the temperament to match his immense talent. There is hope for him in the trajectory of Hashim Amla’s career, writes RYAN VREDE.
Markram sets the tone for SA
Aiden Markram reached his fifth half-century as the Proteas scored 108-1 by lunch on day one of the third Test against Pakistan at the Wanderers.
‘We haven’t thought of a target’
Aiden Markram says the Proteas are very happy with their 294-run lead at the end of day three of the third Test against Australia at Newlands.
Hendricks sets solid platform
Reeza Hendricks’ 108 underpinned a solid display by the Highveld Lions as they piled up 308-4 against the Knights in Potchefstroom.
