Faf du Plessis has delivered an autobiography which is authentic and deeply personal.
It caused a world of controversy, and cast a shadow over his captaincy at the time.
Du Plessis worked well in tandem with Upton and Gary Kirsten during their tenure with the national team and he also had a tight bond with Russell Domingo and West Indian Ottis Gibson.Du Plessis credits Boucher for his hard skills — his technical coaching ability — but is critical of his soft-skills — his interpersonal dealings.
“But I did feel that the team’s focus was again too much on the physical, technical and tactical, and not on the culture and soft human skills.” Du Plessis made a powerful statement by saying that, “All lives won’t matter until black lives matter.”
