VINCE VAN DER BIJL: Proteas lay down leadership marker for rudderless Cricket SA

How breathtaking was that series win against India? Dean Elgar’s team slew the world’s No 1 team.

The India series victory, similarly, was achieved against all odds and despite many distractions. The Proteas’ fragile batting line-up stood their ground against a world-renowned bowling line-up. They could chase smaller-than-usual targets due to the extraordinary efforts of the bowling attack, brilliantly led by Kagiso Rabada. Seldom has an attack performed better and more consistently throughout a series.

Never before has a firm hand on the tiller been more essential as Cricket SA wallow, listlessly relying on individuals to carry the flag However, the voices of anguish have been heard and are a stark reminder of how painful racism is. Clearing the way to a nonracial cricket society will require education and a clear strategy from top to grassroots. What an opportunity. It is time to have real face-to-face conversations at all levels. This should include our well-known cricketers and coaches, past and present, conducting workshops in all cricket communities, pro bono.
