It has been a long and tough journey, admits Kapp
For a batter that became a bowler, Marizanne Kapp has not done too badly for herself. In fact, she has performed excellently over the past decade for the Proteas women’s team and richly deserved her 100th ODI wicket in the victory over the West Indies in the first ICC Women’s Championship match at Kensington Oval on Sunday.
“It is obviously a big milestone for a bowler. It is quite strange now that I actually started as a batting all-rounder, and now I am more a bowling all-rounder. It has been a long and tough journey. Women’s cricket was nowhere on the map when I started and look where we are now,” Kapp said from Barbados.
“There a few more that are closer than we think. It is good to see the South African girls reaching these milestones now, because you have always seen players from the ‘bigger’ nations reach them in the past. It is an awesome feeling and hopefully this is just the beginning.”
