Laura wolvaardt’s hilarious fumble during the press conference
Meanwhile, a comical video of Laura Wolvaardt from yesterday’s (Wednesday) press conference is doing rounds on social media. Renowned South Africa opening batter Wolvaardt was unable to figure out where the questioner is until the team manager told her that the question was being asked via a zoom call. The hilarious episode has gone viral on social media, which left everyone including the in-attendance journalist in splits.
“We were under pressure at the halfway mark. We trusted that runs would come at the end. Bit of a mental thing. We made it harder than it was. It was a good wicket to bat on. We struggled with timing. So special to play the semis at Newlands. Hopefully, we will have a good game. I have had a frustrating tournament so far. But this one feels so good.” said Laura Wolvaardt in the post-match presentation
