Richard Levi

10 Minutes with Richard Levi

So what is the one place you don't want to drive to in peak hour traffic in Johannesburg? No, No, No Yes that's it, O.R Tambo Airport. I got the call to drive to the airport on Thursday the 23rd of Feb because Richard Levi was arriving back from New Zealand. So yes 30 min to get to the airport in traffic, would definitely be a miracle. But yes please I made it, even though my colleagues say I drive like an old man.

At the Airport we waited for a couple of minutes and then emerged South Africas new T20 hero, Richard Levi, accompanied by Rusty Theron and Colin Ingram who were also not selected for the ODI series in New Zealand.

I must say what a humble guy!! Being confronted by the media on your arrival at the airport, after such a long flight could not have been the ideal scenario to walk into, and of course all the questions about how do you feel about not being selected for the ODI series after playing so well. All and all it was worth the drive to meet one of Crickets rising stars and South Africas newest cricket hero.

"Apparently Richard Levi has signed a 1year contract with the Mumbai Indians for the IPL".
