Phehlukwayo and Kipling’s two impostors

Johannesburg - It took Andile Phehlukwayo four days to work out what he’d let himself in for.

The all-rounder’s 29 from 23 balls, which included two typically lusty sixes on Sunday helped the Proteas over the line in a game they could be forgiven for having thought they had lost against New Zealand’s Black Caps.

Then, on Wednesday, having a few days before created the expectation that he was the man for a crisis, Phehlukwayo failed to turn 15 off the last over into a win – which would have been something like turning water into wine.
