‘I had the greatest time' eMalahleni's blind runner shares his Comrades journey
'I had the greatest time' eMalahleni's blind runner shares his Comrades journey The dust has settled, but the Comrades fever is still running high. Just less than a week ago 22 670 runners lined up for a gruelling down run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban. Among the athletes were eMalaheni's blind runner, Bidi Barrett, and his two guides – Jean-Michel Masson and Susan van der Spuy. All went well until cramps got the better of him 30km into the race. 'At a stage, the cramps subsided, but came back,' Bidi said. He said he tried his best, but at 73km he started dehydrating and his kidneys were sore. 'We got an anaesthetist along the way and she helped me. I was taken to hospital and spent two days under medical care.' SEE THE VIDEO HERE: Bidi in action with his two guides, Jean-Michel and Susan. When asked if he would attempt the Comrades again Bidi said, 'No, this was an amazing experience, but I must admit it was a bit too much.' Jean-Michel and Susan pushed through and ran the whole race. 'We were a bit behind schedule and picked up our pace the last few kilometres,' Jean-Michel said. SEE THE VIDEO HERE: Bidi starts to struggle. They both finished in time. 'This was an amazing race. I learned so much from Bidi. As a blind runner, you do not have distractions from other runners, it is only you and that makes it extremely difficult. I have the utmost respect for Bidi and Susan. To guide a blind runner is not easy and Susan was so gentle, comforting, and motivating. We were a great team,' Jean-Michel said.

Proteas can't be called ‘chokers' anymore, says Aiden Markram
The SA team won their first major trophy since 1998. Members of the Proteas team celebrating a wicket during the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's. Picture: Paul Harding/Gallo Images The Proteas were relieved to shake off the 'chokers' tag that had followed the national squad for decades, according to opening batter Aiden Markram, after winning a major global title for the first time in 27 years. Markram hit a century in South Africa's second innings, guiding them to a five-wicket victory over Australia in the World Test Championship final in London on Saturday. While they had reached multiple World Cup playoffs in recent years, in shorter formats, the Proteas had not secured a title since winning the Champions Trophy tournament in 1998. And having played a key role in their success, Markram was delighted that they were finally able to end one of the lengthiest droughts in South African sport. 'It will be great to not have to hear it (the word 'chokers') again, that's for sure… so to have got the job done and to get rid of that is quite a big thing for this team,' said Markram, who joined the Lord's honours board with his eighth Test century. Aiden Markram plays a shot for the Proteas during the World Test Championship final. Picture: Paul Harding/Gallo Images Proteas prove themselves in 'toughest' format Though it was their eight straight Test victory, the Proteas had been criticised for playing fewer games against weaker opposition, with some of the other sides facing more challenging routes to the final. Having defeated Australia with nearly two days to spare, however, Markram felt the SA team had proved their class in the toughest format of the game. He credited his teammates for their efforts, with captain Temba Bavuma hitting a crucial half-century in their second innings and fast bowler Kagiso Rabada taking nine wickets in the match. 'All the questions that have been asked in the past have fortunately now been answered,' Markram said. 'The Test [world title] was always going to be, in my opinion, the toughest one. It's many days of playing good cricket, whereas in T20 or even one-day cricket nowadays, you just need one person to really put their hand up on the day and you can get a win. 'So it was always going to be the toughest, it was always going to be a full team effort to get over the line, and the guys chipped in exactly when they needed to.'
