Proteas show you can’t choke fun at them anymore
I sincerely hope you had nothing whatsoever to do with that headline. I was physically sick when I read it. Sick! Physically! It!
What would have been wrong with something simple and down-to-earth, like “It’s No Choke – Proteas Du-Miny Things Right With Their Positive (H)At-Trick-Tude, So Winning Is As Easy As AB, See.”
We never do headlines. We’d have come up with something worse – certainly nothing close to your masterpiece.
‘Morne for nothing – De Kock-a-hoop Proteas say We’re Tahir to stay’
Faf around with Kock at the climax.

Thrashed by India is like being slapped with warm cabbage leaves.
Hat racks are even handier. I wish I could find a hostelry that provides a place for me to hang my boater rather than perch it uneasily on my knees
