Take a bow Kyle Verreynne!
2nd Test hundred , coming in at 99/5 a tremendous display of temperament. Man he always seems to score runs in a crisis .

That wouldn't be a terrible idea. From what I've heard, hockey makes CSA look like a slick, well-run organisation.

Wow. Verreynne showing up twice there.

To be fair to Verreynne he has had to deal with some pretty dire situations coming in to bat , and his keeping has been really good , many of us were surprised when Conrad dropped him for the West Indies tour of South Africa , he's actually played some pretty amazing knocks in his short career.

Sean Williams credits SA hockey to his spin play as well.

I actually had a look at this, I'm going to make a thread about it.

We obviously have such a passion for rugby in this country and had a few dual ones like Roy McLean, Eddie Barlow, Peter Kirsten, Herschelle Gibbs that stand out. AB, Kallis & Boucher also had a strong rugby passion.
In terms of hockey? Who are our guys?
Trevor Madsen, Jonty Rhodes & now Tristan Stubbs & Kyle Verreynne? Benkenstein & Tsolekile too.

Phehlukwayo? I think he got a high school sports scholarship for hockey.

He tried to grind it out in the first innings but the minute Piedt came on he wanted to hit every ball lol
Still the only Banger to score a test 100 v South Africa I think

Could that region be somewhere where there's more emphasis on hockey? It's certainly not as big a hotbed for rugby as other parts of the country are.
