Erm... kudos for getting the tournament played at all! Bio-secure venue, logistics etc. There are no "alternate" options when there is a mountain of logistics and financial implications.

This West Indies team will teach you one thing. How to fight. They aren’t the best and the most experienced but they fight and don’t give up.Superb. Congratulations to the Windies. #BANvWI

Well done, @tbavuma10 #wandilegwavu and the @LionsCricketSA !!! You guys ROCK!!

Great column, Daniel Gallan ! thecricketmonthly.com/story/1262392/…

The ball that Keshav Maharaj bowled to take South Africa's 2nd Test hat-trick was the 111th potential hat-trick ball bowled by a South African since Geoff Griffin took South Africa's 1st hat-trick v England at Lord's in 1960.

🚨🏏 With the #T20WorldCup around the corner Proteas Men CANNOT afford to fall into the same old mistakes before these ICC tournaments by ‘over experimenting’ with combinations/game plans. We need to settle ASAP which’ll breed eventual #confidence in our starting XI #SAvsWI 🙏🏻

It's terribly sad to hear of the passing of Goolam Rajah. I got to know him in during 1999 World Cup. Always afterwards, when he sees me, we would hug &he would inquire after my parents. Warm smile, always professional but in a kind and gentle way. A true gentle-man. #RIPGoolam

Kudos to Pakistan Cricket for not legging it after numerous positive results in the England and Wales Cricket Board camp.... The easy way is not always the right way and it's good to see that agreements, the game, and the efforts of the hosts are still being honoured.

Day one of my commentary journey in this years T20 World Cup. Figured it appropriate to channel my inner Geoffrey Boycott with a good hat 😂 Let me know what you thought and what you’d like to hear more of from me 🤙

C'mon Windies Cricket !! #t20worldcup2021

That is a top batting effort from South Africa in this virtual quarterfinal against England. They've set England 190 to win and have to keep England to 131 to progress to the semi-final. Rassie's 94* was spectacular. Whatever happens, they've given this horns. #T20WorldCup

It's with great shock and sadness that I heard of beloved Desmond Tutu's passing. One of my most favourite people of all times. He said it like it was. Humble, loving, he embraced life & peace. Thank you for your special time on this Earth - you touched our lives and our hearts.

Shane Warne was first to 700 Test wickets, an unfathomable milestone. But judging Warne on stats is like counting how many words Shakespeare wrote. It misses the point. He redefined his art. He made legspin cool. He changed the game. The most influential cricketer of my lifetime.

#RIPWarne

RIP Queen Elizabeth II. Thank you for your life-long, selfless sacrifice in service of your people. You were the golden thread, the glue through decades, for nearly as long as the majority of us can remember. You were the unwavering constant. Rest now. You did so well. <3
