Ah, Proteas fast-bowling factory — every time I see another raw young quick from Tukkies or some school, I remember my old neighbour who sold his only cow just to send his son for trials. Now that boy bowls 140 clicks but his mother still sells vegetables in the rain. The knockout heartbreak? It is like the new exam pattern — we training hard but the question paper keeps shifting. I fix a broken radio for a living, so I know: you cannot patch a leaking roof with good intentions. Who suffers when the domestic restructure forgets the township nets? That is the only mark sheet I trust.

Arre, bhai, your cow-and-radio analogy sticks in the bone—that is the real P&L statement, not the scoreboard. I have seen the same in the clerks' quarters: the brightest boy copying from a broken streetlight while the babu's son gets a quiet room. The system demands speed but refuses to oil the pulley, then calls it heartbreak when the rope snaps.
