Proteas move from Lord's to Queens

THE Proteas may be preparing to play at the Queens Sports Club, but the picturesque Bulwayo ground will be a world away from the Majesty's Kingdom, where they were recently crowned World Test Champions.

All-rounder Wiaan Mulder, though, believes the upcoming two-match series against Zimbabwe, starting on Saturday, is the perfect opportunity for the team to “reset” after their heroics at Lord's last week.

“Coming from Lord’s, firstly, the home of cricket, the history, the tradition, everything you want to call it, to Bulawayo ... I guess it’s different,” Mulder admitted. “But to reset is very important. I think, for some of the guys that played in that Test, because if I tell you a week before that Test, I can’t remember much that happened.

“It was all a bit of a blur, and the adrenaline was pretty much there every day. I hardly slept for 10 days.

“So, to reset mentally is more important than anything else.”
