Ali Bacher urges ICC to expand Proteas' Test cricket schedule
Following the Proteas victory in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, former South Africa captain Ali Bacher has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to see the Rainbow Nation play more matches in the longest format of the game.
In the two-year cycle which ended with South Africa qualifying for the final, the Proteas played the joint fewest number of games in the qualifying period.
South Africa played just 12 matches, while the big three nations in world cricket - Australia (19), India (19) and England (22) - had a much more full calendar.
It's for that reason that the victory of South Africa over Australia in the final could do much to sway the ICC to schedule more matches for the Proteas.

Rassie van der Dussen: The Proteas' reliable leader ready to shine
Rassie van der Dussen, at 36, is revitalised as captain for the T20 Tri-Series in Zimbabwe, showcasing his reliability and mentorship skills in limited-overs cricket. Picture: Asif Hassan/AFP An example of his dependability came most recently in South Africa's ICC Champions Trophy semi-final against New Zealand, in Lahore, in March. With the Kiwis posting a mammoth 362, the chase was always going to be a mountain to climb for the Proteas. Throughout his career, the top-order batsman has seldom stolen too many headlines while being a reliable run-scorer for whichever team he represents. Though Van der Dussen hasn't officially retired from Test cricket, he's on a white-ball contract with Cricket SA as he has chosen to focus on the more lucrative limited-overs formats. At 36, Rassie van der Dussen is certainly much closer to the end of his Proteas career than the start, but being handed the captaincy role for the upcoming T20 Tri-Series in Zimbabwe has given the elder statesman something of a new lease on life. Van der Dussen's The Bright Light in Proteas' Struggles in Limited Overs Cricket Although David Miller top-scored with 100 off 67 after the result was beyond the Proteas, Van der Dussen was the next best with 69 from 66 balls batting at three. Though he was well-supported by skipper Temba Bavuma (56 from 71), the middle order failed to keep up with the scoring rate. It's knocks like those that have seen Van der Dussen average an impressive 50 in One-Day Internationals as he's scored 17 50s and six tons. Of course, ultimate glory has eluded the Proteas in limited overs with the exception of the Champions Trophy in 1998, and Van der Dussen had been forced to deal with plenty of disappointment. 'It's so important to learn how to deal with disappointment in sport, generally, but more so I think in cricket,' said Van der Dussen. 'Because you can be the year of the wonder and get literally zero the next day. You know being chosen in teams and not being chosen in teams, it's so important to teach kids the skills to deal with failure and success and try and keep neutral. 'I ask myself am I doing enough, am I giving myself the best chance at success, am I fit enough? Am I training enough?' Van der Dussen seems to already be filling a mentorship role, and it would be easy to see him in a coaching position once he hangs up his willow with his philosophical approach to the game. 'It's easy to say okay I didn't make a team because of this, or I didn't make a team because the coach doesn't like me or he likes the other guy more. 'I think it's being really honest with yourself and as a coach as well being honest with the player, but knowing that comes from a caring place and really trying to use that disappointment as a feel to burn, because you want to be successful in the end. 'It's easier said than done, we've all been in that position where it feels like, it almost feels like your life is ending in a sense, for us cricketers if you don't get chosen for a team, or whatever.' @Michael_Sherman IOL Sport

All-rounders Mulder and Bosch help Proteas crush Zimbabwe in first Test
South Africa 418 for 9 dec (Pretorius 153, Bosch 100*, Chivanga 4-83) and 369 (Mulder 147, Maharaj 51, Masakadza 4-98) beat Zimbabwe 251 (Williams 137, Mulder 4-50, Yusuf 3-42) and 208 (Masakadza 57, Bosch 5-43, Yusuf 3-22) by 328 runs. South Africa crushed Zimbabwe by 328 runs to take a one-nil series lead in their two-match Test series against their neighbours in Bulawayo. All-rounders Wiaan Mulder and Corbin Bosch did a large part of the damage for the Proteas, each scoring a century, with Mulder taking a four-wicket haul in the first innings and Bosch collecting five scalps in the second. The last time a South African achieved the feat of a century and a five-wicket haul in the same match was 23 years ago, Jacques Kallis in 2002. Bosch joins a list of only 40 cricketers in the history of Test cricket to achieve that accomplishment. Despite the historic triumph, it was South Africa's third centurion in the match that walked away with the player of the match award. Lhuan-dre Pretorius' first innings 163 off 160 set the tone for the Proteas to springboard their victory off. Coming in at number five with the team on 23 for three on the first morning of his debut Test, the nerves were understandably rumbling in his stomach. But those were evidently set quickly after he skipped down the wicket and whacked left-arm orthodox spinner Willington Masakadza back over his head for six on only the fourth ball he faced in international cricket. Pretorius and other Test debutant Dewald Brevis (51 off 41) put on 95 off 88 deliveries, after coming together on 55 for four, to help South Africa rebuild to a substantial first innings score. Pretorius and Bosch (100 not out off 124 deliveries) later came together for a partnership of 108 to push South Africa close to 300. After Pretorius fell, Bosch led the tail to beyond 400 on his way to a maiden career century in professional cricket. Mulder masterclass Codi Yusuf, the third debutant in the side, led the bowling attack with a whole-hearted showing, steaming in relentlessly. He collected three first innings wickets, for his efforts in what was a pitch that offered support for the new ball. Zimbabwe's leading batter, Sean Williams (137 off 164 balls) racked up his sixth career Test ton as the ball became softer and conditions became easier to bat but he had very little support from the other end with no one else in the lineup passing 40. Mulder displayed supreme control and just enough movement to undo the batters around Williams with Zimbabwe bowled out for 251. South Africa will be pleased with the effort especially given the control struggle Kwena Maphaka and Bosch had in the first innings. With a lead of 167, South Africa just needed to see out the new ball to set as high a score as they wanted. But opener Matthew Breetzke (13 and one) failed to do that for the second time in the match while his partner Tony de Zorzi (zero and 31) didn't fare much better, fighting for every run in the second innings. Mulder though, fresh off bowling 16 overs – more than any other fast bowler – creamed his first boundary to the point boundary and looked set for a long stay from the outset. Just more than 200 balls, 147 runs and a day later, Mulder was dismissed after nailing a drag down off Wessly Madhevere straight to the deep midwicket fielder. It was an innings of class from South Africa's new number three that may have cemented his spot, although it hasn't been set yet. Wrapping up The pitch, expectedly, gripped and turned as the match went on as leg spinner Vincent Masekesa ripped one from wide outside off stump into first-innings hero, Pretorius' (four off six) stumps. Brevis (three off nine) tried to hoick Masekesa a few overs later and saw his furniture disturbed as well — both youngsters unable to add to their impressive first innings showings. South Africa's tail wagged again, Bosch dismissed this time, dropping his average to an incredible 108.5 after four innings. As he and a Keshav Maharaj half century took the team to 369 all out. South Africa had it all their way for more than half of Zimbabwe's innings as the neighbours chased an improbable 536 to win. Yusuf again troubled the top order, with three wickets, and Bosch ran through the middle order on his way to five wickets for 43 runs in an outstanding Test match for the all-rounder. Brevis picked up the last wicket of Tanaka Chivanga, stumped by Kyle Verreynne for his maiden Test wicket, after the Zimbabwean bowlers exhibited some mettle with the willow. The 328 run loss is Zimbabwe's greatest by runs in Test cricket. Stand-in skipper Maharaj, while happy with the team's performance, mentioned a few aspects the side need to work on for the second Test starting on 6 July. 'Starting up front, in trying conditions, we can be a little bit more cautious in certain aspects,' he said. 'But also with the ball we can be a little bit more tidy in terms of not bowling too many bad balls. 'And in the second innings of our batting, we could have been a little bit more ruthless and not give too many soft dismissals away because it would have been a lovely opportunity for someone to really kick on past the 150 mark and go on for bigger high honours.'

Maharaj credits new Proteas players for standout performances
Test rookies Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Corbin Bosch both hit centuries in SA's first innings, and Bosch went on to take 5/43 in Zimbabwe's second innings. All-rounder Corbin Bosch, seen here with Proteas fans in London last month, was superb in the second Test of his career against Zimbabwe. Picture: Paul Harding/Proteas captain Keshav Maharaj was pleased to see the newer members of the national squad standing up, as they coasted to a convincing 328-run victory over Zimbabwe in the first of two Tests in Bulawayo on Tuesday. Fresh off their win against Australia in the World Test Championship final last month, South Africa rested some senior players (including regular captain Temba Bavuma) for the two-Test series against the minnows, providing opportunities for less experienced players. And some of them delivered in spectacular fashion, playing key roles in giving the Proteas a 1-0 series lead. Teenager Lhuan-dre Pretorius made a century on debut, hitting 153 in South Africa's first innings, while 30-year-old Corbin Bosch, playing only his second Test, also compiled his first century (100 not out). And Bosch went on to take 5/43 in Zimbabwe's second innings to close out an impressive all-round performance with bat and ball. Lhuan-dre Pretorius, seen in action for the Titans, made his Test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. Picture: Sydney Seshibedi/Gallo Images 'Making them feel comfortable' 'For us as a team, obviously a lot of the regulars aren't here, but when the youngsters come in it's about making them feel very welcome and feel comfortable to be themselves which is something we always encourage in the environment,' Maharaj said. 'And naturally the mentality of where we want to go with our cricket and the brand of cricket we want to play just filters through them. 'So I think that was the main thing, to make them feel comfortable and allow them to just be the best versions of themselves.' Bosch flaunts his skills While Pretorius was named Man of the Match for scoring a century in his first Test innings, Maharaj was also delighted with Bosch, who helped them lay the foundation for the win and then carried them over the line. 'Corbin has just come into our environment and he's settled in very well. He possesses a lot of skill – not many can bowl 140km/h and bat the way he does – so I'm happy,' the skipper said. 'He works really hard on his game, he trusts his skill, he backs himself, and it's so nice to see everything come together for him.' The second of two Tests between South Africa and Zimbabwe starts in Bulawayo on Sunday.
