  • Roelof Van Der Merwe Faces Australian Drink Driving Charge

      As South African cricketing legend, Jacques Kallis makes his 150th Test match appearance during the third Test against Sri Lanka at Newlands this week, another international South African cricketer faces a court appearance in Australia for failing a roadside breath test on New Year’s Day.

      The T20 Big Bash League team, the Brisbane Heat, has suspended Roelof van der Merwe, no stranger to a good time, after he was found guilty of a charge of detrimental conduct under the Queensland Cricket code of behaviour.

      The 27-year-old all-rounder, who is a Twenty20 specialist, and nicknamed “The Bulldog”, managed to escape with a one-match ban, but might not be so lucky when he faces court later this month.

      Glen Williams, Queensland Cricket conduct commissioner, also “imposed a significant fine” on the player.

      The Bulldog had failed a roadside breath test on New Year’s Day, and having just joined the Brisbane Heat as a stand-in replacement for four of its KFC T20 Big Bash League games after Christmas, hasn’t set the tone for attempting to cement himself a place in the team in the future.

      He began his career for the South African Under-19 team in the 2004 World Youth Cup as a wicket keeper, but made his switch to playing as a batting and bowling all-rounder in his T20 International debut in 2008-09 against Australia at Supersport Park in Centurion.
