CRICKET NEWS - Some players give short answers to questions because they view questions as chores. Some are shy, some are just rude. Others give short answers because they are appropriate. Kagiso Rabada is rapidly becoming a master of the last category.
When a detailed question about South Africa’s preparation for the Champions Trophy was put to him following his man-of-the-match performance against England in the third ODI at Lord’s on Monday, a question containing as many answers as questions, he smiled and replied: “Yes, exactly.”
It is hard, if not impossible to dislike or even begrudge such a response. He is a likeable young man and if reporters would like to hear his opinion, then they will need to learn that they don’t need to spoon feed him an answer.
