South Africa’s domination was as absolute as Erasmus and Fortuin made it sound, but how seriously we should take it is a fair question considering their wanting albeit willing opposition.
We should, of course, cut the Namibians some slack.
By the time they played their first ODI — the famous black armband match against Zimbabwe in Harare during the 2003 World Cup — South Africa had played 278.
Sunday’s game was Namibia’s 82nd in the format — and the South Africans’ 701st.
