On top of that, Luus has played 295 internationals and captained South Africa in 69 of them. What she says matters. Should South Africa not clinch the series at the Wanderers on Wednesday, doubts about dressingroom unity will arise. If India rally to win the rubber, the misgivings will be voiced loudly. Whether the supposed cracks in the team’s togetherness are real or imagined won’t matter; the notion will have been planted and will have to be denied. To confirm it, even if it is true, would be too damaging.
