Mulder's masterclass has Bedingham beaming
Cape Argus
|July 07, 2025
WHEN Shukri Conrad spoke about Wiaan Mulder's appointment as captain following Keshav Maharaj's injury last week, he highlighted how he believed the 27-year old responded well to added responsibility, and that the appointment was partly another way of showing that they back him.
The coach was right.
Mulder scored an unbeaten 264 off 259 balls on the opening day of the second Test match against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The right-handed batter struck 34 fours and three sixes during his knock on Sunday, registering the highest individual score by a South African in his first innings as captain.
Moreover, Mulder’s double century puts him within reach of surpassing Hashim Amla’s 311 — the highest individual score by a South African in Test cricket.
