For Tony de Zorzi, making family
and friends proud through his performances, especially an international 100 in
front of a full house, is what it’s all about. 

De Zorzi made the most of his Proteas
opportunity in limited overs cricket when he compiled his maiden ODI 100 in
Tuesday’s eight-wicket win over India at St George’s Park.

Players aren’t allowed to use
their cellphones in the changing room, and he didn’t have the time to check his
messages after his match-winning 119 not out.
