The game of cricket is more of a mental battle than a physical brawl. As South Africa and Netherlands squared off in New York on Saturday, a trauma from the past haunted the Proteas men with Quinton de Kock ending up with a suicidal run out on the first ball of the innings itself.
On the first ball of the opening over, Vivian Kingma sprayed a full ball around the legs of the batter who missed a glance off the pads towards fine leg. Reeza at the strikerās end initiated for a scamper through the strips but de Kock stuttered after trudging off from the bowlerās end. This led to a start-and-stop action from Hendricks who eventually aborted the run to return back while the southpaw was stuck at three-fourth of the pitch towards the strikerās end. With Paul van Meekren making a clean throw from short fine leg, Max OāDowd ran across and grabbed the ball to whip the bails at the non-strikerās end.Ā
The huge mix-up on the first ball itself triggered the Twitterverse to draw labels from South Africaās recent defeats against the Dutch in ICC events.
