Duminy reminds me of a test from Tobago that used to play fuh we...a sublime lil batsman, style fuh ah mile, talent out of his ears, but an emotional personality somewhere out there.

he wud be fielding  and totally asleep at his position..I mean asleep..eyes open, even moving but asleep. 

balls wud be coming to him, a catch in a bunch...and he wud be alseep, the ball wud hit him and wake him up.  fuh true ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: 

allyuh tink it soft ::)

we used to shake we head relevant to him, in consideration of him..talented, physically capable, about 5 feet 8-9 inches, his face was spare, ovoid with huge clear eyes.  but he was always in a world of his own, deep into it, never out of it, very quiet and peaceful at all times, hardly ever talking to anyone, always going about what he had to do. 

talk with him and he was coherent, seemingly normal, like everyone else.  but he wasn't.  he was an angel, half  and half out of the world, a phased personality, here with us but not really.

when the talk was over he was done too.  he would proceed in his quietude, in the half dream he lived

he would score or not..mostly not, usually not. but when he did it was a sight to behold.  Lawrence 'Yagga' Rowe had nutten on him fuh style ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

oh well!  these are the mysteries of life.

Supremely talented Duminy, capable of great things..has done great and brilliant things on the cricket field..but when will he do them again ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

who knows!

there is no figuring him out.  it has been too long, too mysterious.

Duminy  too will pass, for sure, prolly retire soon, leaving no answers...none at all... as mysterious as the day he was born on a cricket field, in a flash of brilliant light, with the northern star in the heavens above his head

there is nutten sorf' is there ::)

oh well! :)

IF I was Captain and he drop that dolly

Root went on to make that 190 featuring 2 other century partnerships

He was being shipped back to J'burg at Close of Play !

I would then play 1 man short for the rest of days....

What South Africa have to do is try and be positive. The players that have come in and played defensively have just looked like getting out. Hashim Amla always looks a peace.

LanceKraigg’s time is up. He has never truly moved on as a player. Despite being captain and senior batsmen we will lose nothing with investing in a rookie.

He has given his service as an honest and wholehearted performer and would leave with my heartfelt thanks for his contribution.

ByronViv richards was the best batsman of
“his era” but he wasn’t better than Brian Lara whether it’s numbers wise or just plain batting talent and skill
Lara is on a level nobody else is on.

AdrianDarren Bravo had a remarkable 2020 cricket season, showcasing his skills and talent on the field. His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable. Bravo's ability to adapt to different playing conditions and his consistent batting average made him a valuable asset to the team.
