From Chokers to Champions - they said we didn't belong! Up yours world!
Erasmus guided Springboks to back-to-back Rugby World Cups. Conrad guided Proteas to Test World Championship. No other nation has both Test and Rugby champions simultaneously. That's South African excellence. That's legacy. That's history made at Lord's.
Proteas trounce Pakistan to win series 2-0.
South Africa beat Pakistan by 10 wickets at Newlands. Series sealed 2-0. Bedingham smashed 47* off 30 balls to chase 58 in 7.1 overs. Pakistan fought back to 478 but SA's bowling too strong. Rickelton's 259 off 343 balls was the platform. Whitewash complete.
Proteas love Lord's but Lord's may just love the Aussies more.
SA at Lord's since readmission: won 5 of 7. Beat England by innings in 2022. English fans might back Australia over SA due to Big Three politics. But Lord's is neutral. SA's got form, experience and belief. June awaits.
Don't complain when you make the rules.
South Africa qualified for WTC final at Lord's in June 2025. Beat Pakistan by two wickets in Centurion. Australia or India will be their opponent. Vaughn complained SA got there "beating pretty much nobody". Conrad hit back: "Never apologise for getting into the final."

Proteas flying under the radar in New Zealand.
"C Team" to New Zealand. Half the squad are debutants. No expectations. That's freedom. Olivier's got 15 caps and 540 first-class wickets. Brand captains on debut - first SA skipper since 1938 to do so. South Africa unbeaten against NZ since 1930s. Don't write off the Proteas.
