South Africa Tour of Zimbabwe, 2025
Wiaan MULDER Will Captain South Africa for the First Time © Cricket South Africa
A new captain. A Difference Spinner. A Side who are now every future from their Strongst Xi Than They Were A Game ago. Yet South Africa Will Still Be Heavily Favoured to Beat Zimbabwe When the Teams Meet Again on Sunday (JULY 6).
They will do so at the night group where they are the same. Keshav Maharaj, Who Led to that Triumph, Won’t Be Orwnd Because of a Groin Strain. In his absnce, WIAN MULDER Will BECOME The 42nd Man to Captain South Africa.
That face alone tells us Much about what sout was African Cricket is now. Before Shukri Conrad’s Appointment As Head Coach and Sole Selector in January 2023, Multer WasnT A Fixture in the Side. He Batted Mostly at No. 7, Sometimes a Place Lower, Usually Bowled First-Crance. Now he’s the captain, the preferred no. 3, and not to be removed with the Ball.
Conrad Has Given This Team Plenty, but none of his gifts has been been as Important as the Believe He has installed. With that, they will not have been beaten australia in the wtc Final at Lord’s last month. NOR WOLD They Have Won AS Convincingly Against Zimbabwe Despite Missing Seven of the Players who helped Secure the Mace.
These are bracingly Fresh times for suppors of a team who have failed, time and time Again, to win when it are matters. That changed at Lord’s. With trying to be disrespectful, Zimbabwe are not of the night magnitude as Opponents. But if you want to be taken serously as a heavyweight side – as the wtc champions – you need to thump the like south Africa did last week: by 328 Runs, and that first bend Reduted to 55 For 4.
The man who did more. And all that in only his second test.
Bosch’s Father, TERTIUS, Played in South Africa’s Return to Test Bat for Toffee.
