Van Der Dussen Embraces ‘freedom To Fail’ In New South Africa Set-up Post WTC Glory
World Test Championship: For the first time in decades, South African cricket finds itself breathing a little easier. The weight of history — and its long absence of silverware — has finally lifted, thanks to the men’s team clinching the World Test Championship earlier this year.

“It feels like there's a difference,” said van der Dussen, captaining South Africa's T20I side in the Zimbabwe tri-series. “Maybe it's boiled over from winning the Test Championship because we won that match when it counts, so it's almost like we can experiment more.”
