His passionate pre-match speeches along with his bold statements are fast becoming his trademark. Upon arrival back in South Africa, he hauled one out of the top drawer.

“We'll bring the tsunami there,” said Mashimbyi, in reference to next year's ICC T20 Women’s World Cup in England. “I'm kind of excited now, because when no one gave us a chance, we gave ourselves a chance. I know what to do going forward. We'll make sure we leave no stone unturned for England,” he added. The fact that Mashimbyi is already looking ahead to the next major ICC event, and not simply basking in the glory of becoming the first national team coach to lead a senior Proteas team to an ICC World Cup final, is a positive sign.
