Muthusamy’s rise powers Sunrisers EC to SA20 playoffs

IT'S finally Senuran Muthusamy's time to shine.

(Sportzpics)

Initially at the Dolphins, and subsequently with the national team. But over the last period, Muthusamy, who is the ultimate team man and always putting the needs of others ahead of himself, has almost been pushed into the spotlight.

The allrounder was a revelation on the two subcontinent tours to Pakistan and India recently, contributing significantly to the Proteas’ Test side's success.

Player of the Series in Pakistan due to his significant feats with bat and ball, Muthusamy went on to score a maiden Test century to help the Proteas complete a historic 2-0 clean sweep in Guwahati.

It's clear that Muthusamy’s confidence is at an all-time high, especially after he was honoured with the ICC Player of the Month award for October.

Cornwell’s re-imagining of a notorious South African murder case

YES, we live in a hell of a country, not least because our murder statistics are far too high, violence has become a norm and the relics of the past revisit us with horrifying persistence. We have some very 'celebrated' murder cases, which I dare say have stuck in people's minds across decades.
