The Proteas batsman is treating every game and series as if it is his last
On the top of Jos Buttler’s bat handle, the bit only visible to the person gripping it, are written the words “f**k it”. It’s a reminder that cricket, ultimately, is a game.

Heinrich Klaasen may just have signalled that a similar approach may be adopted by Proteas teams in future. It has been spoken about often before, and there have been sporadic bursts of fearlessness in the past, but the recent high-scoring series against England and a change in players’ circumstances may lead to a permanent shift.“We don’t want to be ‘old school’, rebuild the whole time and then see what happens at the back of the innings.
