The announcement of Heyneke Meyer as the new Springbok coach on Friday overshadowed another important day for Cricket South Africa (CSA), with it being the last of oral submissions to the sports ministry's inquiry into the bonus saga that has affli... |

South Africa won their first Test series at home since beating Bangladesh in 2008 after two dominant displays at Centurion and Newlands, plus being taught a lesson at Kingsmead in Durban (again).
Jacques Kallis silenced his ever-present band of cr... |

Journalism allows you the opportunity to see, hear and read a lot of different opinions on how sports teams overcome tough patches to eventually triumph in a manner that would demand an unlimited bar tab at the big game after-party.
So with that ... |

I had the pleasure last week of watching Australia finish off India in the first Test in Melbourne, Australia.
As South Africans, it's almost a birth right to "hate" Aussies, and this is, in my opinion, because jealousy makes us nasty.
We all... |

With 2011 done and dusted, it's time for some cheer to be spread among those sportsman and suits who, in a nutshell, didn't say "The boys are disappointed" when asked how they felt about losing:

It has been 20 years since South Africa re-entered international cricket when they played India in Calcutta on November 10 1991, in what was the country's first ODI.
Two of the men who played in that match, Andrew Hudson and Allan Donald, are nowÂ... |

If you are in the New Zealand Black Caps camp tonight you are certainly a sad and perhaps concerned team member. The Kiwis are taking on the Australians in down under, the first Test completed at the Gabba in Brisbane with fairly good weather, great ... |

The Test series between SA and Australia is quite sadly coming to an end. I find myself almost thinking was this even worth it for all concerned. Sunfoil sponsored the Test. When I first heard this I thought it was a sunscreen company to then realise... |

That was freaky wasn't it? One minute Australia's first innings was being complete, the next South Africa had been bowled out and then, Australia get rolled over for 47. Truly bizarre.
The pitch shouldn't be examined for Gummy Bear juice, nor shou... |
