Heino Kuhn - "Most fun I've ever had watching a game!"

  There is a good reason that most players say the same thing after making their international debut, and that’s because it is the truth! I’m sorry if everyone has heard it before, but it really was a dream come true.

    Ever since I was five or six years old I was the kid hitting a ball whenever I could, right up until bed time, and I always dreamed of playing for my country. When I was called up to the T20 squad it was hard to believe that had actually taken the first major step towards winning a cap.

Jonty from the Dugout

Hey, it's Jonty Rhodes here, blogging live from the Cobras vs Titans game at Supersport Park.

In the first few games we've seen a most of the sides make a few basic mistakes. Now that we're a couple of games in, teams are getting into the swing of things. Scores are looking a lot higher, the ball flies up here on the Highveld, and sixes are easy to come by. So 165 can be chased down by the Titans.

Great crowd here tonight. People are realising that the Pro20 is on. It's the first game at Supersport park, and after all the build up, the turn out is amazing!
