Drama on the first, full day of Proteas training in Colombo when Beuran Hendricks had to be stitched up after a full-blooded drive from Dwaine Pretorius clattered into his head opening a wound which required eight stitches. “Everybody was very excited to be in our first full session and I was still keen to be involved after my bowling spell,” Hendricks explained. “So I offered to help the hard-working coaching staff by giving some extra throw-downs to some of the batters. The guys are obviously keen to face as much spin and slower balls as possible so that’s what I was throwing to Dwaine.
Rotten luck for Beuran. If the players have a separate swimming pool, surely the 'media' can use the one in the photo?
