I am curious about autobiography, which probably is the point of article.

What fire did he go through? Is he one of the mybb'ers who walked 20kms in snow & mud, uphill both ways ?

Which townships get snow in SA?

You start the week with this poor troll attempt. It's not going to get any better.

Stay on point.

It was probably a suggestion from the editor/ghostwriter to get more sales.

He captained the cricket team when it went through a challenging period so it is probably in reference to that.

He was speaking prophetically about woke myBB's reception to his autobiography.

He identifies strongly with the "repressed" and/or "oppressed", without experiencing any of it.
He will forever be a victim of victimhood, because he wants to be.

Watch the matches where we exited the 2011 ODI World Cup and 2017 Champion's Trophy.

(we still love you Faf).

2011 ODI World Cup

I remember the 2011 game vs England IIRC?

In the documentary "The Munawar Files" about one of the kingpins of the spot-fixing industry, they hint that something funny may have been going on in that game.

We are likely to never know for certain but I do think that a lot of guys, especially around that period got away with spot-fixing. It's unlikely to have only been the guys from Pakistan that were getting tempted.

Edit: SA was not eliminated in 2011 vs England, they were eliminated by NZ but the Munawar files hints something funny happened in the England game which they lost.

 

[Katelknaap]

In the extract that was in Rapport, Daryll Cullinan comes across as a real box.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

Re Cullinan, I remember Biff tweeted this many years ago which was unusual as he is usually collected, even when responding to critics.

Cullinan seems like a bully. Paul Harris also responded and called Cullinan a "clown".

lmao at the self-report.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

Boucher needed more time to develop as a coach and it seems the only reason he got the job was because of being Smith's friend.

Several people have now indicated that Boucher has a poor EQ with Faf being the latest and they surely all can't be lying or out to get him.

IMO, Klusener would have been the perfect option as coach due to his ability to communicate with players. Khaya Zondo even indicated Klusener helped him save his career after he went through mental turmoil after that selection controversy but unfortunately Biff's poor relationship with Klusener (which stretches back to their playing days and which it seems they have not mended) prevented that from happening.

We were cruising until Kallis threw his wicket away and then Faf ran out AB, the chop.

In the 2017 CT, we were also in a must-win match vs India, and Faf went and ran out AB. The chop.

I (personally) think that Cullinan was the master of running out his teammates.
Don't have the stats, but I'm pretty sure he tops the list.
