Hendrik Human "Boeta" Dippenaar

Actually he could use some in ODIs.

True, actually... I always forget how non-wicket-taking he's tended to be in ODIs thus far...

Let him bowl under lights at Cape Town, trust me that will change dramatically.

Shame the game at Newlands is a day game, but the Kingsmead one is a d\ner.

Night-time at Kingsmead IIRR is even more swing-friendly than Newlands.

Would love watching Asif and Rana (he is lethal with the white cherry) bowl under lights.

Even if the lights were on under a blazing sun at 2PM?

Why would the lights be on under the blazing sun?

Good question, master Kenobi.

Was in runs today (96 not out), shared a 200 run partnership with the exile Jacques Rudolph. Though if JP sent down twenty six overs you are bound to cash in.

They wouldn't.

My question was why you were phrasing it as if the lights, rather than the time of day, were what caused the swing?

Never know, JPD might cash-in in return on Rudolph's legbreaks...

What is it about Dippenaar and Rudolph and massive stands...?

Not sure but he was definately known as "Hendrik Dippenaar" on the SA u19 tour in 1995, was rather hilarious re-reading that again after he became an established international as "Boeta".

Well according to this site, his name means 'little brother'.

 

[Richard]

Haha, wooooot?

Actually, little brother is boetie. In a lot of SA families an only son or a younger son is nicknamed Boetie. When they grow up they're obviously not "little" any more, so it get's changed to Boet or Boeta.

Well I never said I could speak Afrikaans.

Say what you like about Bosman, but holey smokes he played a good innings.

Meh, he only got 40.

Meh, he only got 40.

He seems a half-decent Twenty20 player from all reports...
