Random sports questions

[Debbie]

I sometimes have random sports questions and feel silly for starting a whole thread on the arb question that may come up from time to time. So here is a thread for all random questions that don't warrant an entire thread in themselves

The question I have today is "who captained and vice-captained the 1992 Protea World Cup squad?" I recall Kepler Wessels being captain... but who was vice? Hansie? I find it strange to think that Peter Kirsten didn't have an elevated status...??

Cricinfo agrees with Kepler Wessels as captain, but doesn't name the vice captain -> here. Could've been Dave Richardson?

 

[Debbie]

Thanks chiskop....I'm also struggling to find out who was vc at the time.

I think it was Dave Richardson, but as usual i could be completely off the mark

 

[JK8]

Could been Hansie, Dave, Simcox, Mcmillan or even Omar Henry lol!

 

[Leitmotif]

It was Dave Richardson, at least during the ill-fated England game:

Only ranking I could find that had vice-captains noted as well as captains.

Thanks Leitmotif, you're most definitely above-average in terms of forumite usefulness

 

[Leitmotif]

You're welcome, and... thanks, I think.

Rugby: This White coach guy- yes we generally like him, or no we generally don't?

Liking a coach in SA depends on whether we are winning or losing So he'll get a big thumbs up on current form
