Please stop shitting on President Ramaphosa. He has done a far better job than most world leaders thus far. Zuma would have told us to take med lemon and carried on as usual
Speaking of sporting comebacks
Can we appreciate Dale Steyn? At 33 the fast bowler fractured his shoulder and had to have tendons reattached to his shoulder blade
He went through painful rehabilitation which took longer than anticipated. He never gave up and HE IS BACK 🙌🏼❤️

He’s been brilliant with the ball and done well in a limited cameo roll with the bat when needed
Still young and can get even better. Thanks goodbye
With AB, Amla and Kallis
You knew you could probably skip a whole session and come back to the same batsmen
Now you can’t even take a kak. You might miss the whole innings
We are silent when it happens to ordinary citizens but when it occurs among celebrities we are in uproar. We should be equally outraged at violence against women no matter who the victim is

Kagiso Rabada “out of form in 2019”
Averaged 27 with the ball
Anderson’s career average is 27
Broads is 29
Rabada is such a world class bowler and we have high standards set for him as I’m sure he has set for himself. What a superstar
Virat Kohli to Tim Paine On day three:
“I’m the best player in the world and you’re just a stand in captain,” he said.
Losing all respect for Kohli to be honest. One of the best players in the world if not the best and I love watching him but his personality is ruining it..
When talking of quality Test openers, Graeme Smith doesn't get enough praise
Averaging 48 after 117 Tests as an opener.
Ave of 46 in his debut season with the responsibility of captaincy.
Ave of 67 in England as an opener ? The man was World class
Appreciation tweet
Faf du Plessis was 21 when Nottinghamshire offered him a Kolpak deal with a conditional clause that said he would have to qualify for England if he accepted. He refused
A great batsman, a great leader ❤️🇿🇦
From Amla’s perseverance, to Steyn’s never give up attitude, to Fafs leadership,
to KG stepping up when he’s needed,
to Millers 💯 in the field,
to Quinny’s blinders behind the wickets,
to Tahir’s passion
We are

MS Dhoni is a once in a lifetime leader...Men with his character and humility should not only be leading sports teams, they should be leading countries

Kohli sometimes gets a lot of crap as a captain, but he’s probably one of the few who doesn’t make excuses when India lose. Never blames teammates, always says “WE weren’t good enough” shows great leadership. That’s an environment players will thrive in, as they already have...
Some idiots are criticizing Rohit Sharma for going home for the birth of his child and not waiting till after the Sydney Test. Guess what
1: Cricket is just a game
2: Your family comes first
Your perception of patriotism is so ignorant. Don’t @ me
Just a random thought
@GraemeSmith49
averaged 48 in Test cricket and 49 as an opener. That’s incredible for an opening batsman! He was also an incredible Test captain! He doesn’t get the credit he deserves honestly
Stop living on social media. People have acne. People have scars. Nobody has perfect skin all the time. This is reality. She is perfect the way she is. Change your mentality before you have daughters
The Amazon rainforest has been burning for 3 weeks! We are on the verge of losing it completely if the fire isn't put out.
The loss of trees, the loss of biodiversity is what is accelerating CLIMATE CHANGE.
THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY. This is a CRISIS.

Sharma World class in ODI’s
average in Tests
Smith world class In Tests and decent In ODI’s
That’s what sets Kohli apart. World class in every format. Facts are facts
@CraigCons
There is more that unites us than divides us. If only we open our eyes. Hatred is blinding people. Love is the solution to all of these problems
Markram dropped from the ODI side. Faf being left out probably means he’s going to retire very soon. Can’t imagine any other reason. He has been the backbone of the ODI side along with QDK for a while now
Averages in
2017: 60
2018: 62
2019: 68
A very underrated ODI batsman
The only person exempt from any criticism this series is Nortje. He has done way more than expected of him. Thank you for playing with such pride and heart.
The ICC will be amending certain cricket laws pertaining to dismissals
Section 25 Law b: A bowler will be handed 2 demerit points if he does not apologize to the dismissed batsman and offer to walk him to the change room holding his hand as moral support
Matric is an important year but don’t ever feel like your life is over if you don’t perform the way you intend to. You are 18 years old. I only knew what I wanted academically when I was 26. It’s a different journey for everyone and it’s YOUR journey. Just do your best.That’s all
Today’s cricket bats are shit
These factory knocked and fiberglass bats?
Kids don’t know the value of buying your first English willow and oiling and knocking it in yourself with a mallet until it’s meaty as hell!
That’s when you appreciate the willow
Guys let’s stop making theories about quotas and crap. We chose the best squad possible with what we had. Let’s just be honest and say we aren’t performing well. Credit to opposition too.
#ProteaFire
Tim Paine gets a lot of shit for the way in which he was made captain. He doesn't act like a temporary captain. He's a great leader and he leads from the front. Credit where it's due
