T20 CRICKET
Things to look out for at the Bloem T20 cricket clash
Forget the frivolity of the format. And never mind the nonentities of the opposition. SA’s T20 series against Bangladesh starts in Bloemfontein on Thursday‚ and if you are going to pay it any attention it is the unusual suspects you want to watch. Players such as Robbie Frylinck‚ who 10 years ago was up the creek without a local franchise contract. Now‚ at 33 and looking more like a bouncer than a bowler or a batsman‚ he could make his international debut. And left-arm fast bowler Beuran Hendricks‚ who was all set to play in a one-day series against Zimbabwe before suffering a stress fracture of the back in September 2014. He had‚ at that stage‚ five T20 caps for SA and has not added to them since. Or Hashim Amla, who has played more than twice as many Tests and almost four times as many one-day internationals as he has T20 internationals.
