By Faf du Plessis Greetings all towards the end of what has been another whirlwind week. Let’s start with the national T20 captaincy, which is now in my hands on a more permanent basis following the announcement that AB would prefer not to have that on his plate along with all his other responsibilities. The […]
By Faf du Plessis I’m back in Cape Town and in one of my “happy places”. As mentioned before, I just love it down here and I also love playing Test cricket here at Newlands. On that note, Imari and I have actually decided that we would love to live in Cape Town, so in […]
I’m obviously incredibly disappointed that we lost the one-day series against New Zealand. I think there were several factors that played a part in our series defeat, but the bottom line is that we didn’t play good cricket
By Faf du Plessis Greetings from an Adelaide hotel room and a rather exhausted cricketer. It’s nearly midnight on the final day of the second Test against Australia and just a few hours ago we secured an unlikely draw to keep our hopes of winning the series alive.

It’s the morning after our bitterly disappointing World T20 Super Eights defeat to India and confirmation that we did not qualify for the semifinals.
Greetings once again from Sri Lanka. We’ve just returned from a fantastic couple of days away at a beach resort, and now the focus shifts once again to cricket and the Super Eights stage of the World T20.
Apologies for the lack of communication – it’s been a hectic past week, finishing up the T20 series in England and then flying to Sri Lanka for the ICC World Twenty20.
