Faf du Plessis and David Warner were the chief protagonists in yesterday's enthralling World Cup encounter between the Proteas and Australia at Old Trafford writes zaahieradams

MANCHESTER – It would be fair to say the enmity South Africans have for David Warner is on par with the Australians’ abhorrence for Faf du Plessis.

He always knew it was the batsmen’s responsibility, particularly the old pro’s, to take hold of the situation, which is why his animated celebration also spoke a thousand words.

But these two teams really don’t know how to let their hair down, even when it’s a dead-rubber. There is almost something tribal that erupts when Australia and South Africa meet on a sports field, and the Proteas-partisan crowd certainly played its part in creating a Bullring-like atmosphere within Old Trafford.
