South Africa…. but that’s not to say the Springboks won’t get torn apart by an Afghan Snow Leopard..
- Out there in the really real world, many will hope for a sign or at least an acknowledgement from the Afghans that they represent the women and girls of their country - who are barred by the repressive Taliban regime from so much that is available to men, including playing cricket. Until 1994, South Africa's teams also flew the flag of a society ruled by unfairness and fear. The issue then was apartheid. Now it is gender apartheid. Then as now, cricket - and cricketers - cannot be allowed to look the other way.
Well said! Afghanistan is a beautiful country but torn asunder from both outside and now within.

Thanks! Noted. Why didn't you use maiden over in this match?

Didn’t think about it. SA are undefeated and looking to have the edge over Afghanistan IMHO but I am biased because I play the game in their style; India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the West Indies all play the game in a way I don’t identify with… I appreciate it but don’t play that way.
Besides, I may need a bye on the next as I am away for a few days with limited internet…
