Sybrand Engelbrecht, remember this name folks. Looking at his performance in the Under 19 World Cup at the beginning of the year, many experts have touted him to be the next fielding sensation to emerge from the fielding production line that is South Africa.
The agility and the sheer energy and joy that Engelbrecht brings to fielding, (yeah, I too find it hard to pronounce the name, to fielding is what draws immediate attention and the likeness to Jonty.
Today I hang my head out and proclaim that the name of boy, who is still in his teens will become a household name in the cricket world in the not too distant future. And officially this is my first, call it proclamation or prophecy. Amen!!1
Hopefully we'll he'll be able to come close to Jonty thereby allowing us to revisit and relish the high standards set by the magician Jonty. His catch against Pakistan in the second semifinal of the Under 19 World Cup is just a pointer to what this boy is capable of. I hope he improves on the other aspect of his play and the whole world can see him in action. Soon, very soon!!
