I called the Wallabies wimps, and South Africans were queueing to apologise to Australians on my behalf. If only those same people had made such an effort to apologise to Paul Adams on behalf of Mark Boucher, writes mark_keohane. - IOLsport
I backed Siya Kolisi's world champions to pump the Wobblies. And then white South Africa came out to play. I was told that I lacked class, that I was a disgrace, that I did not speak on behalf of South African rugby fans.
“We are better than this,”said one tweet. The royal “we” came out to play so many times: “We are not THIS guy … he does not represent US.”A few days earlier, I had called out Proteas coach Mark Boucher forI wrote that Boucher had refused to understand the hurt and damage he had caused and that he should not be in charge of the South African national cricket team.
The abuse was unrelenting, on my time lines and into an email inbox, the address of which has always been public . I also expected a bit more from the mainstream South African cricket media in relation to Boucher. Alas, there was nothing.The only reason I didn't trend on Twitter was because Temba Bavuma, the Proteas captain, was trending.
