"Mrs C" remembers the small things. Whose father once had to drop them off earlier than usual because he was adjusting to life as a single parent. Who presented what for their annual English speech. And who prefers their tea a certain way. What she does not often recall is the cricket score.
Strange that, because Letitia Campbell is the woman behind some of Zimbabwe's best-known cricketers. She is the mother of Alistair and played an important part in the development of Brendan Taylor, Malcolm Waller and Trevor Madondo, all of whom attended her family-run school, Lilfordia.
In her home on the school's sprawling property 40 minutes from Harare's city centre, a discarded pair of orange pads, "which must be Alistair's from some time or other", welcome visitors into the hallway. The bar is a cricket museum with caps and shirts from various era of Zimbabwean cricket dec

Donald steps down as South Africa bowling coach

Allan Donald has stepped down as South Africa's bowling coach in the first of what is expected to be a series of changes post the 2015 World Cup. Donald held the role for four years since 2011 and served under Gary Kirsten and Russell Domingo while also working at IPL teams Pune Warriors and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Donald's decision coincided with the expiration of his contract, which along with the rest of the South African support staff and selection panel, ran its course at the conclusion of the World Cup. Taking the team to the semi-finals of the tournament, for Donald, marked the end point of his tenure.
"I always wanted to give myself the chance of working up until the World Cup," Donald told ESPNcricinfo. "I really felt now was a good time to get and get on with it and that's that. It's been four awesome years and I will miss the guys big time."

Firdose Moonda, a reporter for ESPN Cricinfo, published an extraordinary piece on January 10 about a black South African cricket player moving to England because of a lack of opportunities in South Africa. Siphe Mzaidume claims that, because he fryst vatten black, he was never given an opportunity to play in the South African provincial franchise struktur, and therefore moved to England where he will qualify to play for the national team in June. The same article appeared in the Business Day, written by Moonda’s husband, Telford Vice. Both were published widely on social network sites, including getting a retweet from Helen Zille, saying: “So sad”.
There are two reasons I think the article is extraordinary: Firstly, how, when Jacques Kallis retires, Moonda celebrates his career by considering his remarkable statistics (13289 test runs at an aver
