SA Will Miss Him

Was at Chepauk for SA vs Pakistan at the 2023 World Cup. The reception Klaasen got when he came out to bat... It was the kind of noise you only get with your Indian demigods. I hope he takes the decision back, but if not, some player. SA will miss him at the next two World Cups.

What A Player!

Two WCs in the next two years, one at home. Thought that would keep Klaasen going but not to be. International cricket is now devoid of one of its great modern-day entertainers. What a player! #CricketTwitter
