Castle Lager Proteas captain, AB de Villiers, says his leadership style will be to lead by example when he takes the reigns for the remainder of the Sunfoil Test series against England. De Villiers’ immediate challenge is the must-win third Test starting at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Thursday, which will see him become the 34th player (10th since unity) to captain the Test side. The 31-year-old addressed the media for the first time on Wednesday afternoon and said he is committed to South African cricket and is hungry to make a success of the next two Test matches.De Villiers, who has captained in 76 One-Day Internationals and 15 T20 Internationals, says there will be no noticeable difference to the way the squad conducts themselves for the remainder of the series, except for a more ‘energetic’ approach in the field.The Proteas’ fightback at Newlands has given the squad a big confidence boost, a timely spur as they return to the sprightly Wanderers conditions which should offer a ‘good contest between bat and ball’.
