The Proteas wrapped up the first Test and while many fans didn’t get to enjoy the match live, one young fan made a plan.

Whoever decided to start the Proteas first Test match of 2023 on a Tuesday has some explaining to do.

All business is back to work and schools have long resumed. So who did they anticipate would turn up to Centurion to watch a relatively low-key series between the Proteas and the West Indies.

On day three, Proteas speedster Kagiso Rabada claimed his 13th career five-wicket haul as he led the Proteas to a 87-run win over West Indies.
The Proteas could only muster 116 in their second innings, but a chase of 247 always looked too much to handle for the Windies.
At one point, the visitors were 33-5, and although Jermaine Blackwood (79) did put up some resistance. But Rabada ultimately tore through the lineup to finish with stunning figures of 6-50.
