They beat Durban's Super Giants by 16 runs in a match they refused to stay down after receiving blows to the gut in both PowerPlays. While Du Plessis went about his business with a measuring band, the fearless Ferreira was pulling the levers to a wrecking ball. When Du Plessis tried to up the ante he fell to a catch in the deep but it brought Romario Shepherd to the crease. Ferreira made Shepherd follow him en route to a 87-run stand off 36 balls for the sixth wicket.Durban's Super Giants used their PowerPlay far more productively racing to 65/0.
There is a school of thought that the classy left hander should be lured out of Test match retirement, and there is little doubt a player of his stature can only enhance the national cause. He can play at the highest level in every format but whether he would want to join the stricken SAS Protea is another matter.
