A Farewell To Quinnie, A South African Legend
Manage episode 385715015 series 3442172
Once again, the Proteas have bombed out of a World Cup. Not only did South Africa suffer a predictably bitter defeat to Australia, they lost something more – one of the finest ODI cricketers ever, Quinton de Kock.
Although Quinton de Kock has announced his retirement from ODI cricket, you might be surprised to know that he’s only 30. Yes, his 31st birthday is only days away, but he seems to have been around for ever, at least since Lemon Curd yoghurt and Spotify and baseball caps. These, I must emphasise, need to be worn the correct way. There is nothing worse than a middle-class suburbanite wearing his Red Sox cap the wrong way round.
