Will R16.5m man Brevis let his bat do the talking?

Will R16.5m man Brevis let his bat do the talking?

PRETORIA Capitals' Dewald Brevis. I File

With his auction purchase price having been a record R16.5 million, it equates to just over R850 000 per run.

Even without the credentials of an investment banker, that does not seem like a strong return on expenditure.

Personally, the price tag doesn’t make the player for me.

Franchise auctions are a lottery at the best of times, and fortunately for Brevis the numbers fell right for him.

My concern is more about how Brevis goes about his business. Is he learning after every innings, or is he guilty of the same mistakes?
