Five totals of more than 180 — one past 200 — two matches decided by fewer than 20 runs‚ another in the last over‚ and‚ not before time‚ the weather doesn’t get in the way of a game in Durban.It’s taken that many games‚ three of them washed out‚ to finally get more than 5,000 people in the ground.
Credit‚ then‚ to Rocks captain Faf du Plessis for not trying to duck the truth at his press conference in Paarl after Sunday’s match. “It’s really important for cricket in South Africa that this tournament succeeds‚ so whatever we can do to get the fans in.” The required runrate was in double figures for seven of the last 11 overs‚ and it needed Heinrich Klaasen to smash sixes off the last two balls of the penultimate over — bowled by seamer Kerwin Mungroo — to draw the sting from the contest.
The Stars’ cause isn’t aided by the fact that the country’s most prominent bowler‚ Kagiso Rabada‚ isn’t firing.
